Tool to track your input activity (keyboard / mouse)

InputCounter

This is a small program which counts the keyboard strokes and the mouse clicks (left and right button).

This program is a new version of KeyCount

Where is the data stored (aka Security / Keyboard-Sniffer)

The data is stored locally in an SQLite database (InputCountDatabase.db). The data is only used locally on the computer and is not transferred.

If you want to look at the data, you can use the free program DB Browser.

How does it work?

The tool uses a low level keyboard and mouse hook to detect an action. So it can maybe possible that your anti virus tool will alert you.

I use Windows Defender and have had no problems so far

Import data from KeyCount

If you've used the old KeyCount tool you can import your old data. There are two possible ways:

1. Manual: Use the DB Browser
2. Automatically: Use the KeyCountImporter

With the manual process you've more flexibility in what you want to import. The automatically process is easier.

Automatic process

To use the automatic process, you've to do the following:

1. Navigate with powershell, cmd or windows terminal into the directory which contains the KeyCountImporter exe (tools directory)
2. Start the program with the following parameters:
   • -s / --source [Path of the KeyCount database]
   • -t / --target [Path of the InputCounter database]
   • -o / --override Add this switch to override the existing values. If you don't add this value, the values of the KeyCount will be added to the values of the InputCounter
   • v / --verbose Add this switch to create a verbose log
3. Done

Here is a small example:

KeyCountImport.exe -s D:\Test\KeyCountDatabase.db -t D:\Test\InputCountDatabase.db -o -v
