KeyStats

KeyStats is a lightweight menu‑bar utility for macOS and Windows that records daily keyboard and mouse activity. It counts every keystroke, logs left and right mouse clicks, measures the distance the cursor travels, and tracks cumulative scrolling, updating the figures in real time within the system menu bar. The application automatically resets its counters at midnight while preserving data across restarts, allowing users to see fresh daily metrics without losing historical information.

The tool is designed for individuals who want a simple, privacy‑first way to monitor their input habits and workflow patterns. By storing all statistics locally and omitting any content of the keys pressed, it avoids logging passwords or other sensitive information. The open‑source code, released under the MIT license, lets users audit the implementation and verify that no external telemetry is performed.

Installation is offered via Homebrew for macOS or direct download of a binary for Windows, requiring macOS 13.0 or later. The minimalistic interface blends with the desktop while keeping essential usage data constantly visible.
