Keylogger Software for Business

Anexet records every keystroke entered on employee workstations on Windows, Linux, and macOS, associating each record with the active process, user account, and timestamp — making it searchable text in the Client Console. Keystroke logging is available from the Advanced plan. Anexet is deployed on-premise; the vendor has no access to your data. No mobile agents.

The Visibility Gap Most Monitoring Tools Leave Open

Network logs tell you a file moved — keystroke logging tells you exactly what was typed before the data ever left the machine.

Network logs tell you a file moved. Messenger intercept tells you what was sent. Neither tells you what an employee actually typed — in a document, a chat window, or a credentials field — before the data ever left the machine. Keystroke logging closes that gap: it captures intent at the source, not the channel.

For IT-security teams, keystroke logs mean evidence of data staging, policy circumvention, and credential misuse that would otherwise be invisible. The typed text exists as a searchable, auditable record before any file is sent, any message is composed, or any browser session begins.

Keystroke data lives inside the Anexet Client Console alongside every other intercepted event. Security analysts can search it by keyword, process, or time window, correlate it with communication intercept and file transfers, and reference it in investigation cases — all without leaving the platform.

Why it matters

Intent at the source
Captures what was typed before data moved anywhere — exposing staging, policy circumvention, and credential misuse that channel-level intercept misses.
Searchable and auditable
Every keystroke record is tagged with process, user, and timestamp — fully searchable in the Client Console by keyword, application, or time window.
Fully on-premise
All keystroke logs stay on your own server. The vendor has no access to your data, satisfying strict data-sovereignty and insider-threat requirements.

What Anexet Captures

All capabilities below are verified against the plan matrix. Keystroke capture and related controls are available from the Advanced plan.

Keystroke capture

Keylogger (keystroke capture)
Advanced
Records every keystroke entered on the workstation regardless of the application or browser in focus — productivity tools, email clients, browsers, messengers, and any other desktop application.
Process and session context
Advanced
Each keystroke record is associated with the active process name, window title, user account, and session timestamp — making it searchable as text and fully auditable.
Full-text search in the Client Console
Advanced
Keystroke records are indexed on your on-premise server and are fully searchable by keyword, user, process, or time window — enabling targeted investigation without reviewing raw logs manually.

Policy and alerting

Security Policies — keystroke keyword alerts
Advanced
Security Policies can automatically alert when keylogged text matches a configured keyword list or pattern — turning the keystroke stream into an active detection layer.
Activity dashboard
Advanced
The Activity dashboard provides a consolidated per-employee view of captured keystroke data alongside other monitored activity.

Coverage is for Windows, Linux, and macOS (including ARM64) workstations. No mobile agents are included. Automatic screenshots are a separate feature — see the Screenshot Monitoring page.

On-Premise Keystroke Capture — the Vendor Sees Nothing

A lightweight Anexet agent runs silently on the monitored workstation. On Advanced it records every keystroke entered in any application or browser, regardless of what is in focus, attaching the active process name, user, and timestamp to each record. Captured keystroke logs are sent over the internal network to your Anexet server, where they are indexed and stored — ready for search, correlation, and reporting.

Anexet is deployed on-premise — the vendor has no access to your data. All keystroke logs and monitoring records remain inside your own infrastructure, inside your network perimeter. Scinero Software Limited has no connectivity to your installation.

How Keystroke Logging Works

Four steps from a workstation keystroke to a searchable, controlled record.

A lightweight Anexet agent installed on the workstation runs silently — capturing every keystroke on Advanced plans across Windows, Linux, and macOS, with the active process, user, and timestamp attached to each record.

Captured keystroke logs are sent over the internal network to your on-premise Anexet server, where they are indexed and stored; no data leaves your infrastructure.

Security analysts search keystroke records by keyword, process, user, or time window in the Client Console; results can be cross-referenced with intercepted messages, file transfers, and application activity from the same session.

Findings can be flagged, exported, and combined with other evidence in an investigation case; Security Policies can automatically alert when keylogged text matches a keyword list or pattern.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about how Anexet captures keystrokes on employee workstations.

What is keylogger software for business, and is it legal?

Business-grade keystroke logging is a security control that records text typed on company-owned workstations — used to detect data staging, policy violations, credential misuse, and unauthorized activity. Legality depends on jurisdiction and how employees are notified; most markets permit it on company equipment when employees are informed via an acceptable-use policy. Anexet is deployed on-premise; the vendor has no access to your data. Your organization retains full control over what is captured and who can review it.

Which plan includes keystroke capture?

Keystroke logging (keylogger) is available from the Advanced plan. Standard does not include keystroke capture. See the plans section above or request a comparison of all plans.

Is Anexet deployed on-premise? Does the vendor see our data?

Anexet is deployed on-premise; the vendor has no access to your data. All captured keystroke logs and monitoring records are stored on your own servers, inside your network perimeter. Scinero Software Limited (the vendor) has no connectivity to your installation.

What operating systems are supported? Are there mobile agents?

Endpoint agents run on Windows, Linux, and macOS (including ARM64). There are no mobile agents — keystroke monitoring covers desktop and laptop workstations only.

Does keystroke logging capture all applications including browsers?

Yes. The Anexet keylogger captures keystrokes across all desktop applications and browsers in focus — productivity tools, email clients, web browsers, messaging applications, and any other application running on the workstation.

How do keystroke logs appear in the console?

Keystroke records are searchable text in the Client Console, each record associated with the active process, user, and timestamp. You can search by keyword, process name, user, or date range. From Advanced, the Activity dashboard provides a consolidated per-employee view of captured data.

What about screenshot monitoring — is that a separate feature?

Yes. Automatic screenshots are a separate feature available from the Standard plan, with their own dedicated page. See the Screenshot Monitoring page for full details on periodic screenshot capture, timeline browsing, and screenshot-blocking policies.
