The Problem Nobody Talks About

Here's a dumb problem that bugged me for years: I couldn't clean my MacBook screen properly.

Every time I grabbed a cloth to wipe the display, I'd accidentally brush the keyboard or trackpad. The screen would wake up, show my wallpaper, and suddenly I couldn't tell where the smudges were anymore. I'd end up "blind-wiping" and hoping for the best. Shutting down the whole machine just to wipe a screen felt absurd.

Then there was the cat problem. I saw complaints in App Store reviews: people watching videos on their Macs, and their cats would walk across the keyboard — pausing the video, switching tabs, opening Spotlight. Classic cat behavior, zero good solutions.

So I built CleanMyScreen.
