I want keylogging software on my laptop for lifelogging purposes. But the software I can find is targeted towards stealth activity. Can anyone recommend a keylogging software targeted towards personal backup.

Ideal Functionality

  • Runs publicly (like in the task bar).
  • Easy to turn off (via keyboard shortcut is best... at least via button click)
  • Encrypted log
  • Fast
  • Free
  • Cross platform ( windows at least )

The best I have found is pykeylogger which does not attempt to be stealthy, but does not attempt to be visible either. I want a keylogger focused on transparency, speed, and security so I can safely record myself.

*note: Christian has a similar question with a different emphasis

    I had a program created for me recently and didn't really think about it being executable posing a threat since I pretty much trust the source but not completely.
