Block keyboard
Suppresses every key on your keyboard — letters, function keys, and media keys like volume and brightness. Wipe without launching apps or changing settings.
Lock & clean
your Mac
Wiping a keyboard types. Wiping a trackpad clicks. Siesta stops both for as long as you need, dims the screen so the dust actually shows, and gives everything back when you are done.

Eight protections
Everything that could react, stops
Block trackpad
Ignores clicks, scrolling, and multi-finger gestures — including Mission Control and Spaces — and hides the pointer while you wipe.
Dim screen
Places a semi-transparent dark overlay on your main display. Helps you focus on wiping and hides the desktop underneath.
Prevent display sleep
Keeps the display awake so it won't sleep, dim, or trigger the lock screen mid-wipe. Restored to normal power behavior on exit.
Hide cursor
Hides the mouse pointer so it doesn't wander into a corner or Hot Corner while you're wiping the trackpad.
Mute audio
Silences system audio so alerts and app sounds don't play while you clean. Restores your previous volume state when Cleaning Mode ends.
Dim external monitors
Also dims every connected external display. Useful when you're wiping a specific monitor and don't want the others distracting you.
Block Touch Bar
Replaces the Touch Bar with a static “CLEANING MODE” label. Prevents accidental Siri, brightness, or app-specific button presses while wiping. Only works on Macs with a Touch Bar.

Two checkboxes under the Start button, and only one of them can be on at a time. Start cleaning on launch begins the clean the moment Siesta opens — countdown and all — without a tap. Quit Siesta after cleaning closes the app as soon as a clean ends. Both are off unless you turn one on.
The way out
Getting out is the part that matters
Hold ⌘Esc for three seconds and the clean ends. The hold is deliberate: a brush against the keys should not drop you out halfway. And if Siesta is ever killed while it is running, macOS hands your input straight back on its own — nothing stays blocked because an app went away.
