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…

    1. you question looks like Hilary’s aid asking “How do i permanently delete emails from a hard drive”, so is sus on it’s own and i have 0% trust that you have a valid use case for this

    2. literally every use case you have or could mention is solved in a better way. Pursuing the avenue you are currently on is a security vulnerability. It’s like asking a lockmaking group “Hey, how can i have my keys copied automatically so i don’t ever forget them again? And have them printed to a shelf right next to the front door”

    So even if you are being genuine, any sense of a duty of care to an internet stranger compels me to tell you to not do this

      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.

        How about obsidian and you paste in messages after you’ve drafted them out?

        with this to recover anything missed in a copy?

        That autohotkey script could lose you your job, your retirement funds, your savings… it’s just not worth it when there are secured solutions around if you could manage a little change in behavior
