CleanupBuddy 2.0 expands beyond the keyboard with new display cleaning features
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
Developer Gui Rambo released CleanupBuddy 2.0, extending the app’s keyboard‑locking feature to touchscreen Macs. The update adds “Lock Touch Screen” to block touch input and a “Dim Display” option for non‑touch models, aiding users cleaning MacBook Pros and other Macs. The animated character now uses on‑device Apple Intelligence to generate personalized comments based on cleaning‑session stats, which are stored locally and can be disabled. Minor UI tweaks improve button readability, and Sticky Keys are temporarily disabled during cleanup. The app costs $2.99 and requires macOS 14+.
💡 Why It Matters
- · The new touch‑screen support broadens CleanupBuddy’s usability to the latest MacBook Pro line, addressing a gap left by earlier versions.
- · The integration of on‑device AI for personalized feedback showcases Apple’s push toward privacy‑focused machine learning in everyday utilities.
