Hooker is a compact application that can record the activity of the keyboard and save it to a log file.

Hooker is a compact application that can record the activity of the keyboard and save it to a log file. It can be used for keeping tabs on the activity of a computer while you are not at your desk.

As the name implies, the application “hooks” itself to the current process and keeps track of every pressed key. Whether you are writing an email or entering a password in your Internet browser, the app can capture the action and store it in a text log.

You can watch the captured keyboard actions in real time as they are displayed in the main window. In order to view the log files you can use the embedded Log Viewer that enables you to select the time interval that you want to check.

If you want to view the activity from a remote computer, the program can be configured to send periodical reports about the activity to an email address. You just need to enter the email address and the SMTP parameters in the Options window.

The reports can also be uploaded automatically to a FTP server if you want to check them later from a remote location. The user can save the report periodically or when the application closes.

The interface is simple and all the functions can be easily accessed from the main window. During its run time it has no impact on the computer performance to make the user aware of its presence.

Although the application can run in stealth mode, it leaves traces on the system that enables the computer user to access it and shut down the keyboard tracking. Furthermore, it cannot be protected by using a password, which makes it unsuitable for permanently monitoring the computer usage.

Hooker can help you monitor the keyboard of a computer and send you periodical reports. However, if you need a key logger that is completely hidden from the user, you should look for another solution.
