KeystrokeRecorder X is a carbonized application that records each keystroke into a file for later retrieval.

Installation is much simpler than previous versions of KeystrokeRecorder as it is now a simple background, also known as faceless, application. Just copy KeystrokeRecorder X to you hard drive and double click it.

Since it is a background application it might not appear to that it launched. Just press some keys on your keyboard and you'll see the results in the log file.

Here are some key features of "KeystrokeRecorder":
STEALTH features

Invisible in the Force Quit Menu.

Optionally sends log files to you via email.
Adds date, time, and active application in the log file.

Prefs are optionally encrypted.
Log files are optionally encrypted.
Saves or emails screenshots from all displays or just the main display.

GENERAL features
Recording Keystrokes The most obvious feature is that KSR records what you type.
Recording Screenshots KSR also takes a snapshot of your screen and optionally emails it or saves it to your hard drive.
Saving via File or Email KSR will record keystroke activity to either a text file or to an email address. Choosing KSR file saving feature will result in a text file that is saved to the hard drive for later retrieval. The KSR email feature will send the log files to you via email and will never save the log files to the hard drive, making detection more difficult.
Smart Preferences Instead of storing the preferences file under a name that is easily found, the preferences file will be automatically created based on the name of the KSR application name. If you rename KSR to "SPAM Filter" the preferences file will be named "SPAM Filter Prefs ".
Smart Log File Names In the preferences, you have the option of setting the log file prefix, suffix, and base. Setting the prefix to "KSR Log ", the suffix to ".txt" and turning on the base will create a log file named "KSR Log 20020319.txt". The number represents the date, in this case, March 19, 2002. This gives you the choice of having one large log file or one log for each day the computer is used.
Additional Log Information KeystrokeRecorder includes the name of the active application or process when the key was typed as well as the date and time.
Adjustable Key Queue You can adjust the length of the KeystrokeRecorder key queue from 5 to 30,. A smaller queue will cause more frequent saving to the hard drive or more emails sent.
Automatic or Manual Log Cleaning The backspace and delete keys are pressed very often. KSR gives you a choice of removing these tags from your logs or emails automatically or with the prefs editor.

What's New:
Added the option to take screenshots and have the saved to the hard drive or sent via email.
