Keylogger is an open-source Windows utility engineered strictly to capture keystrokes. Built around the Unix philosophy of single-purpose design, it delivers a distraction-free, fully auditable logging tool without background network services, telemetry, or bundled third-party bloat.
Technical Overview of Keylogger
Built using the Zig build system with MSVC tools, this software functions entirely as a standalone, portable executable requiring zero registry modifications or installer frameworks. It runs directly from any folder and excludes persistent services, automatic startup entries, and background update routines. Keystroke capture operates locally on the machine, guaranteeing transparent offline operation without telemetry overhead.
Core Features of Keylogger
- Zero-installation architecture lets users launch the executable immediately from any path without configuration wizards.
- Strict single-purpose scope focuses entirely on recording keystrokes without extraneous modules or hidden background processes.
- Completely portable footprint leaves zero configuration leftovers upon process termination and direct binary deletion.
- Multiple architecture targets support both 64-bit and 32-bit (i386/i686) builds natively for flexible system deployment.
System Compatibility
Tested under Windows 11 with support for x64 and x86 architectures.
