Remember to read the Conditions of Use, Publication and Distribution before installing and using our Applications.

3. How to install it?
No particular installation is required. Once you've downloaded the ".dmg" package from our website, it should uncompress automatically (in your "Downloads" folder or on your Desktop). If it does not, then you can double-click on it to uncompress it.
Then you just have to move the created folder into your "Applications" folder (or any other location) and double-click on the Application to launch it.

Particular case of MacOS 11 Big Sur:

Under MacOS 11 Big Sur, if you're launching the Application for the first time, MacOS' GateKeeper (which you can configure in the "System Preferences") will refuse to launch it because you've not downloaded it from the Mac App Store (but from our website). In this case, instead of double-clicking on it, all you have to do is to right-click on the Application's icon, and then select the "Open" menu. A message will appear in which you'll be able to confirm that you want to launch the Application (even if it was not downloaded from the Mac App Store from an Identified Developper).

NB: We're not distributing our Applications through the Mac App Store, because Apple's fees policy on the Mac App Store is not financially respectful of developers and small and medium companies, and consequently, at the end, of customers.

4. How to uninstall it?
There should be no reason to do this. ;-)
However, if you really want, then you just have to throw the Application into the trash, and that's all.

5. How to use it?
The best way to use Keyboard Spy Logger is to add it in the Login items (in the System Preferences panel) so that it is automatically launched each time you turn your Mac on.
Each time Keyboard Spy Logger is launched it creates a new log file in your Preferences folder and names it YYYY/MM/DD/HH/MM/SS.log where YYYY/MM/DD and HH/MM/SS are the date and the time when the Application was launched.
The folder in which your log file is saved can be modified in the Preferences window.
The extension of the log file can be modified in the Preferences window.
The content of the current log file can be opened through the Preferences window.

The "Open Keyboard Spy Logger Preferences" command file:"
It allows you to open the Application's Preferences window because it's an invisible background application that does not appear in the Dock.

The "Quit Keyboard Spy Logger" command file:"
It allows you to quit the Application because it's an invisible background application that does not appear in the Dock.

If you don't want the Application to be found when it is on your hard drive, you can simply rename it.
