Important limitation
PalmGuardian pauses pointer movement, clicks, and scrolling generally during its recovery window. That includes an external mouse. It does not identify only built-in trackpad contact.
Product descriptions
Copy that stays factual.
PalmGuardian adds an adjustable 0.1 to 2.0 second guard window after keyboard activity. During that window it pauses pointer movement, clicks, and scrolling, then restores normal input automatically. It costs $1.99 once and runs locally without an account or app telemetry.
PalmGuardian was built for Mac users whose palm or thumb brushes the trackpad while they type, moving the insertion point, selecting text, or triggering an unwanted click. The small native menu bar utility detects that keyboard activity occurred and temporarily suppresses pointer events. It does not retain key values or build a typing history. Users can adjust the recovery delay, pause protection instantly, and choose whether the app launches at login.
