Round up: The best free keylogger 2016

<img src="http://cdn.mos.techradar.com/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/2016-Jul/Monitoring/LoggerMain-470-75.jpg" alt="Round up: The best free keylogger 2016"/><h3>The best free PC monitoring software</h3><h3>Track kids' keystrokes and program use</h3><p>When it comes to protecting kids from online nasties, there are two schools of thought. One school prefers to block inappropriate content, but that can have its problems: parents can't know about everything dodgy online, and content blockers don't necessarily block inappropriate content on chat apps or offensive content sent by friends or peers.</p><p>The other school is to have a big chat about the dangers, trust your kids to be sensible, and then spy on them just to make sure. If you suspect your child is being exposed to something awful such as cyberbullying or grooming, monitoring software may help you deal with the problem.</p><p><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/divider-420-90.jpg" alt="Divider" width="420"></p><p><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/2016-Jul/Monitoring/windowsfamilysafety-420-90.jpg" alt="Download Windows Live Family Safety free" width="420" title="Windows Live Family Safety is a comprehensive suite of tools for monitoring your kids' PC use and protecting them from inappropriate content"></p><h3>1. Windows Live Family Safety</h3><p><strong>Watch your kids online and stop them seeing the worst of the web</strong></p><p><a href="http://www.downloads.techradar.com/downloads/windows-live-family-safety-2011"><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/badgesmaller-111-100.jpg" alt="Download Windows Live Family Safety" width="111" class="lft">Family Safety</a> was bundled into <a href="http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/software/operating-systems/windows-8-1093002/review" title="Windows 8" data-atoaf="true">Windows 8</a>, but if you're running an older version of Windows you can download it via Windows Essentials.</p><p>The app offers a range of parental controls including restricting web browsers to specific sites or specific kinds of content; tracking your kids' activities and enabling you to see what websites they've visited; locking down search engines so they don't return inappropriate results; and limiting what can be done at specific times - handy if you're trying to ensure your kids aren't spending every waking hour in multiplayer gaming or social media.</p><p><a href="http://www.downloads.techradar.com/downloads/windows-live-family-safety-2011"><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/DownloadButtonSmall-266-100.jpg" alt="Download Windows Live Family Safety free" width="266" class="lft"></a>It's particularly good if you use Microsoft's Internet Explorer or Edge browsers, making it our top choice for keeping youngsters safe online.</p><p><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/divider-420-90.jpg" alt="Divider" width="420"></p><p><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/2016-Jul/Monitoring/kidlogger-420-90.jpg" alt="Download Kidlogger free" width="420" title="Kidlogger keeps track of who your children have been speaking to online, and what's been said - ideal if you suspect they may have been bullied"></p><h3>2. Kidlogger</h3><p><strong>Where did they go, who did they speak to, and what did they say?</strong></p><p>We're in two minds about using logging software for children and teenagers: tracking every single keystroke, SMS, photo, instant message, Skype call and location feels like an invasion of privacy, but we can see the benefit for parents who suspect their child may be keeping something important private, such as online bullying or grooming.</p><p><a href="http://kidlogger.net"><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/DownloadButtonSmall-266-100.jpg" alt="Download Kidlogger free" width="266" class="lft"></a>The free version of <a href="http://kidlogger.net">Kidlogger</a> tracks one device and keeps logs for nine days; upgrading to US$29 (about &pound;22.39, AU$38.35) per year gives you five devices and 30 days of logging. The service is available for Windows, Mac and Android, and there's a separate app for non-jailbroken iPhones and iPads.</p><p><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/divider-420-90.jpg" alt="Divider" width="420"></p><p><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/2016-Jul/Monitoring/nortonfamily-420-90.jpg" alt="Download Norton Family free" width="420" title="Track what's been happening on your PC and set limitations on what kids can see"></p><h3>3. Norton Family</h3><p><strong>More than just tracking - Norton also actively protects youngsters online</strong></p><p>Norton would really like you to subscribe to the paid-for Premier version, but the free <a href="https://family.norton.com/familysafety/basicpremium.fs">Norton Family</a> does a good job without costing anything. You can block inappropriate web content and monitor the kids' online activities, see what they've been searching for and how often they've been on Facebook (and whether they're using a fake name or age), ensure they don't accidentally give out personal information and lock down your internet connection at specific times.</p><p><a href="https://family.norton.com/familysafety/basicpremium.fs"><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/DownloadButtonSmall-266-100.jpg" alt="Download Norton Family free" width="266" class="lft"></a>The Premier version adds video supervision, location tracking, Android app and SMS use and time-locks for Android apps, and costs US$49.99 (about &pound;38.62, AU$66.14) per year.</p><p><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/divider-420-90.jpg" alt="Divider" width="420"></p><p><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/2016-Jul/Monitoring/spyrixfree-420-90.jpg" alt="Download Spyrix Free Keylogger free" width="420" title="Spyrix is marketed as parental control software, but it only tracks what your children have been doing - it doesn't include protective tools"></p><h3>4. Spyrix Free Keylogger </h3><p>Keyloggers have something of a bad reputation online, as they're often used by hackers and criminals, but they can be a force for good too, and <a href="http://www.spyrix.com">Spyrix</a>'s features enable you to see what your children have been up to. Although it's dubbed parental control software, it's really a monitoring program: it doesn't stop the kids getting up to no good, but it does let you see exactly what they've been getting up to.</p><p><a href="http://www.spyrix.com"><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/DownloadButtonSmall-266-100.jpg" alt="Download Spyrix Free Keylogger free" width="266" class="lft"></a>That means it isn't really appropriate for younger children's computers, but it may be appropriate for older children if you suspect online bullying or other unpleasantness.</p><p><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/divider-420-90.jpg" alt="Divider" width="420"></p><p><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/2016-Jul/Monitoring/revealer-420-90.jpg" alt="Download Revealer Keylogger Free" width="420" title="Revealer is lean and quick, and its simplicity has made it one of the most popular monitoring tools around"></p><h3>5. Revealer Keylogger Free</h3><p><strong>A simple monitoring tool, Revealer only records keystrokes</strong></p><p><a href="http://www.logixoft.com/en-us/index">Revealer Keylogger Free</a> is one of the most popular Windows keyloggers around, and while its most powerful features are reserved for the paid version - screenshot capture, automated log sending and extra stealth protection - the free version covers the basics very well. It's fast, doesn't drag your system down, runs automatically at startup and cleans up logs after a set period to prevent them from getting too big.</p><p><a href="http://www.logixoft.com/en-us/index"><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/DownloadButtonSmall-266-100.jpg" alt="Download Revealer Keylogger Free" width="266" class="lft"></a>Just be careful when you install it, as like many free programs its installer is rather keen on getting you to install potentially unwanted software too.</p><p><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/divider-420-90.jpg" alt="Divider" width="420"></p><p><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/2016-Jul/Monitoring/refog-420-90.jpg" alt="Download Refog Free Keylogger" width="420" title="The reports produced by Refog are highly detailed, but easy to read and interpret"></p><h3>6. Refog Free Keylogger</h3><p><strong>Get reports on typing, software use and network connections</strong></p><p><a href="http://www.downloads.techradar.com/downloads/refog-free-keylogger">Refog Free Keylogger</a> comes from the same stable as Refog Personal Monitor and Employee Monitor, which offer a huge range of features for monitoring home and office PC use. The free version is essentially a stripped-down version of Personal Monitor, logging keystrokes, URLs, app usage and chats.</p><p><a href="http://www.downloads.techradar.com/downloads/refog-free-keylogger"><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/DownloadButtonSmall-266-100.jpg" alt="Download Refog Free Keylogger" width="266" class="lft"></a>The paid-for version adds email delivery of logs, webcam shots and notification of specific keywords, but if you don't need such features then the free version covers the basics well enough - although it's worth noting that the free version is only a trial, not a free-forever product.</p><p><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/divider-420-90.jpg" alt="Divider" width="420"></p><p><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/2016-Jul/Monitoring/heavenward-420-90.jpg" alt="Download Heavenward Free Keylogger" width="420" title="If you're running an older version of Windows, Heavenward is good choice of monitoring software"></p><h3>7. Heavenward Free Keylogger</h3><p><strong>A simple logger with added password protection for peace of mind</strong></p><p><a href="http://www.hwsuite.com/free-keylogger/">Heavenward Free Keylogger</a> covers everything you'd expect from a Windows keylogging program: it can monitor multiple users and keep itself hidden from them; it can track everything that's typed into a Windows app; it can email you logs at specified interfaces and it can password-protect the logs so only you can see them.</p><p><a href="http://www.hwsuite.com/free-keylogger/"><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/DownloadButtonSmall-266-100.jpg" alt="Download Heavenward Free Keylogger" width="266" class="lft"></a>It's compatible with Windows versions from XP to 10, and it works in multiple languages too. It's simpler than many rivals but that's not necessarily a bad thing, as it means it's easy to set up and use.</p><p><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/divider-420-90.jpg" alt="Divider" width="420"></p><p><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/2016-Jul/Monitoring/bestfree-420-90.jpg" alt="Download Best Free Keylogger" width="420" title="Regular screenshots give you an insight into what your kids are looking at online with Best Free Keylogger"></p><h3>8. Best Free Keylogger</h3><p><strong>Capture regular screenshots as well as keypresses</strong></p><p>The name was poorly chosen - Google it and you get screeds of reviews of keylogging software, not this particular app - but <a href="http://www.realspysoftware.com">Best Free Keylogger</a> is a good package: it does almost everything its paid-for Pro sibling does except for unlimited screen shots, remote delivery of reports and premium tech support.</p><p><a href="http://www.realspysoftware.com"><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/DownloadButtonSmall-266-100.jpg" alt="Download Best Free Keylogger free" width="266" class="lft"></a>It records keystrokes, internet activity, chats and takes up to 10 daily screenshots, it's invisible and password-protected and you can schedule the monitoring so it only takes place at specific times.</p><p><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/divider-420-90.jpg" alt="Divider" width="420"></p><p><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/2016-Jul/Monitoring/iwantsoft-420-90.jpg" alt="Download iWantSoft Free Keylogger" width="420" title="iWantSoft hasn't kept up with online communication, and doesn't offer tracking for social media"></p><h3>9. iWantSoft Free Keylogger</h3><p><strong>Dedicated tracking for Macs, but it won't watch Facebook and Twitter</strong></p><p>If all you want is simple keylogging for your Mac then <a href="http://www.iwantsoft.com">iWantSoft Free Keylogger </a>is worth considering: it doesn't record chat sessions or social networking, which may rule it out for many parents, but it does log keystrokes, clipboard use, websites and programs launched.</p><p><a href="http://www.iwantsoft.com"><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/DownloadButtonSmall-266-100.jpg" alt="Download iWantSoft Free Keylogger free" width="266" class="lft"></a>It isn't completely invisible - tech-savvy kids will be able to find it, although it doesn't appear in the system tray - and it doesn't email reports to you, but it's small, simple, doesn't take up many system resources and covers the basics just fine.</p><p><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/divider-420-90.jpg" alt="Divider" width="420"></p><p><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/2016-Jul/Monitoring/elitekeylogger-420-90.jpg" alt="Download WIdestep Elite Keylogger" width="420" title="Widestep's Mac edition is a feature-packed free program, but its Windows version is only a trial"></p><h3>10. Widestep Elite Keylogger</h3><p><strong>A great tracker for Macs, but not the best option for Windows users</strong></p><p>How's this for confusing: the free <a href="https://www.elitekeyloggers.com/">Elite Keylogger</a> on Windows is just a trial, but the free version on Mac is a full free program. On a Mac it records everything the user types, whether it's in chats, on online forms or in forums. It monitors the clipboard too, takes screenshots at set intervals and works with OS X El Capitan as well as older Mac operating systems.</p><p><a href="https://www.elitekeyloggers.com/"><img src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/art/DOWNLOADS/roundups/DownloadButtonSmall-266-100.jpg" alt="Download Widestep Elite Keylogger free" width="266" class="lft"></a>The Pro version adds username and password logging and recording both sides of chats and instant messaging session, and unlike the free version it's completely undetectable - but the free version does more than enough to make this a recommended app for Mac users.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/allnews/~4/_-SRZe6uyXg" height="1" width="1" alt=""/>
