We built a tiny native Mac menu bar app called PalmGuardian after getting tired of the cursor jumping, clicks landing in the wrong place, and scrolling firing while typing on a laptop.
It watches for keyboard activity and pauses pointer movement, clicks, and scrolling for a short recovery window. The delay is adjustable from 0.1 to 2.0 seconds, and everything runs locally.
A few details worth yapping about:

I would especially like feedback on the default 0.5-second delay and whether the permission explanation is clear before installing.
