I sometimes lose typed text due to form issues, accidental edits/deletions, etc. and am really interested in any running keylogger for Android phones. Thanks for any help or ideas!
Wow, the attacks here are unbelievably disappointing. Why would I lie about this? Has none of you ever lost any typed text ever? Someone even had the audacity to say it exists but refuse to say where…

I made one in AutoHotkey for Windows (or, rather, edited an existing script that was out there on the AHK forums). As long as you understand how it works and that it’s totally offline, you’re fine. It’s saved my hide numerous times and one for Android would be tremendously helpful.
I’m inquiring in an open-source community for a reason…

literally every use case you have or could mention is solved in a better way.
Why don’t you share them, then? Until you actually share a possible solution, you may as well just answer, “It’s not possible.” I haven’t heard or found anything that is 100% passive.
The whole point of it is for it to have your back when you’re not expecting any issues, such as in comments like this. Imagine if you typed everything in that massive response just now, but lost it one sentence short of submission, somehow, in one way or another. That is exactly the situation I’m looking to defeat. I can do it on Windows already through an AutoHotkey script that I have for myself, but nothing exists for Android that functions in this same way. The thing can be under a password/lock when trying to view the logged keystrokes; that’d be fine and welcome. It could even delete everything after a single wrong entry. So why is everyone coming down so hard on me? It’s been genuinely helpful every now and then on PC.

Nice try, NSA.
It’s called Gboard.
I use OpenBoard. Does GBoard have a built-in keylogger? It would be a hassle to keep copying text before submitting it every time.
I use inputting plus for this. Works fine for me https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.catchingnow.undo
Interesting app! Thank you very much; you’re the only respondent who provided a direct example so far.
Yes.
Want to link to it?
No.
Then why even respond? Isn’t FOSS all about helping each other?
No.
the terms “free software” and “open source software” should be applied to any “software products distributed under terms that allow users” to use, modify, and redistribute the software “in any manner they see fit, without requiring that they pay the author(s) of the software a royalty or fee for engaging in the listed activities.”
I don’t understand why you would bold-face that part and not “in any manner they see fit,” because that sure seems to be more relevant to what you’re invoking here.
Assisting you in finding, installing, and configuring key logging software is not within the manner I see fit. I don’t have access to such software and thus cannot share such with you in any manner. Of the software I do have and know of which can do what you’re asking, It is not in my manner to share it with you.
Therefore, I am doing what I see fit. Others might feel differently. However when it comes to open source software, you said:
Isn’t FOSS all about helping each other?
I say; no. Free software is I don’t want to pay for Adobe. open source software is about having the freedom to change software to your purpose and being free to distribute those changes, without compensation required and without legal troubles.
Must be, check github
