Revealer Keylogger allows you to see what other people are typing on your computer. A keylogger hides in the background and saves every keystroke a user enters. Anything they type or search will be recorded and saved in a location of your choosing. This can be used on any computer with ease.

Main Features

Revealer Keylogger is a program that hides away from view and records what people are typing. When the user is finished, a text document of everything they typed is saved in any folder you'd like. This is most commonly used by managers, spouses and parents to see what other people are doing on the computer.

Mostly Hidden

While this program does a great job of staying in the background, advanced users will be able to find it. That's because it shows up as an active process in the Task Manager. If the user doesn't know how to open then, then Revealer Keylogger will be invisible.

Pros

  • Saves all information in a simple file that you can open later
  • Easy to both install and use
  • Keeps track of all key strokes including passwords otherwise protected

Cons

  • Does not come with any way of hiding it

Revealer Keylogger is a program that takes up limited space on your hard drive but keeps track of every stroke down on your keyboard. You can use this program to find out what other people do on your computer when you're not there.

One reason why some use keylogger software is because they want to track their children's activities online. You can easily find out if your teenager visits sites he or she shouldn't or if one of your children has inappropriate contact with an adult or someone else online. Some also use this program to track their spouses. If you ever wondered if your spouse or partner was unfaithful or had a gambling problem, now is your chance.

The problem with Revealer Keylogger is that it doesn't hide itself very well. While you can rename the program once you download it or put it in a folder, it will still show up in your task manager. Anyone who checks the task manager can see the program running and choose to end it. That defeats the purpose of using it to track those with more computer skills.

It's still a solid choice for many homes and computers though. When you launch the program for the first time, it lets you set up your own account and accounts for others. This is helpful for shared computers because you can then view the key strokes made by each individual user. It also lets you decide when it runs. You can choose to have it run when only select users log on, when a specific user logs on or whenever someone turns on the computer.

A hot key option lets you easily turn it on and off too. You set up a hot key, which lets you press a combination of buttons to launch it and to end the program. With the cleanup feature, you can save some space too. This feature lets you decide how long the program will keep the detailed logs that it creates. You can tell it to save those logs for one or more days. Once that time period passes, the program will automatically delete the log.

Each time that the program runs, it creates a log that shows each key stroke made. This includes the passwords that are usually protected by sites and passwords that use asterisks to keep information hidden. All logs become .txt files that you can easily open and read later.

You can also add some security features to hide the program and the files that it creates. It even lets you hide the program when the computer first starts up. To see what happens on your computer when you're not there, Revealer Keylogger is a great choice.

Pros

  • Saves all information in a simple file that you can open later
  • Easy to both install and use
  • Keeps track of all key strokes including passwords otherwise protected

Cons

  • Does not come with any way of hiding it

Pros

Revealer Keylogger is one of the top free keylogger programs that you can download for keeping track of your own online actions and the actions of others.

Using a keylogger lets you keep track of your kids. Even if you use programs that limit what they can do online or even how much time they spend online, you'll find that those programs are easy for older kids to get around. A keylogger like this can also help you keep an eye on your spouse or partner and ensure that he or she isn't running around on you. If you live with roommates and worry that they'll give you viruses or damage your computer, you use can use Revealer Keylogger to keep them in check.

Similar programs keep an accurate log or record of online actions but make those records extremely hard to read. One great benefit of this program is that it gives you simple records that you can scan and read in minutes. You can even set different accounts on your computer and ask the program to keep track of each user's activities or only select users. There are also elevated privileges that you can link or add to certain accounts.

Another feature you'll like is that Revealer Keylogger can actually take screenshots. You can determine the size of the screen it captures, the quality of those images and even how often it takes and records a picture. Those images are only accessible to those who have the password to your account. Instead of reading through logs, you can pull up those images to see exactly what other users do on your computer.

As with other keylogger programs, this one records every button and key pressed on the keyboard. When you look over the records, you'll see random letters and a jumble of symbols that might indicate someone entered a password or played a game. To better understand those reports, you may need a separate program that deciphers the content. Another issue is that the program appears in the list of currently running programs in your Task Manager. Anyone who pulls up that feature can see the program and turn it off. If you worry about what your kids do online, you wonder if your partner is cheating, or you feel concerned about what your roommates do with your computer, Revealer Keylogger can give you a clear idea of their online activities.
