Nice one! But only keystrokes.

I've been using logkext for a couple of years and it does a good job. Exactly what I need, nothing extra. It's saved my butt countless times... from retrieving a lost email or letter to remembering a password from a month ago that I typed wrong and would have been otherwise irretrievable. The only thing I'd like to have (but can't) is an easier way to get to the documentation/help, but that's part of the system so I don't know if that could be overcome in the program itself. Good app with no extra BS.

logKext is a very fine piece of software. It is opensource and working very efficiently.

Hi, I'd like to know if you can install logKext 2.2 on Leopard 10.5.2 without admin access, but access to the Terminal. Thanks.

Hi!
I used this logKext for a while, and now, when I print: "print", it doesn't show me the new keyboard activities. I don't know why. Could u help me?

i am trying to use it for a first time and it says logkext is a wrong password

How about re-install it?

Thanks for the Leopard-compatible update.

By far the best keystroke logger. It's unobtrusive and doesn't suck up CPU cycles like all the other keystroke logger.

Warning: When updating to 2.2, you will lose the ability to decrypt your old 2.1 logfile. If you need it, you should back it up in an unencrypted format.

If possible, please use project bug page http://code.google.com/p/logkext/issues/list for all bug reports or enhancement requests.

logKext no longer works under Leopard (OS X 10.5). It's going to require an update.

BSDGuyShawn commented on 08 Oct 2007

This is awesome. It would be even better if, along with parsing our the special characters like delete, etc..., it would log the window that had keyboard focus. Safari takes focus, some one types, then adum takes focus, someone types, etc...

This tool would be even more useful with these features, or at least I think it would.

Disgustingluck had trouble on 29 Dec 2009

Okay, so I don't understand this.
I tried doing what fred suggested about adding a password to my admin, but I already had a password it just never prompted unless I was installing something... so I tried changing my admin password to "daemon" so I would remember it.. now here I have the following:

Last login: Wed Jul 22 12:55:00 on console
Macintosh-2:~ Alex$ sudo logKexclient
Password:

Jules54 had trouble on 12 Dec 2009

Installed 2.3. When I went to terminal it said Error:logKext Preferences cannot be found. Is logKextDaemon running?

(after "sudu logKentClient" and password were entered)

Uninstalled and tried it again, and also on another mac, same result.

Running on a intel mac OS 10.5.8.

Any ideas?

Help Please

logKext is working for me. I just want to know how to erase its memory. At some point the computer is going to run out. (not in the near future, but....)

Fred69 had trouble on 18 Jan 2008

solution for password problem with logKext 2.2 on leopard :

I have the same problem but i ve found a great solution :

logKext doesnt work if the admin have no password (blank)

just create another admin account with now a password

open teminal and follow the instructions

type : sudo logKextclient
password : (your new admin password)
logKext password : logKext

type "open"

wait and read :)

after .. delete the new account if you want

sorry for my english friends

Actually, I believe the issue is that the command "sudo" on Leopard does not support accounts with a password.

Fsb Software (developer) replied on 22 Jan 2008

Ooops, typo. Does not support accounts WITHOUT a password.
