Mini rant:

I wish developers took 5 minutes to actually write (or show) what their app/utility/program actually does, in plain english terms. The more I browse random Github Repos, the more I see this lack of clarity.

> A keyboard logging and presentation utility for presentations, screencasts, and to help you become a better keyboard user.

This description tells me nothing of what it does. Even the linked website subtitle is useless. "A Keyboard Utility For All Your Windows Presentation Needs" tells me nothing. Luckily they have a video gif on the website that makes it more clear on what it does, and it really should be in the Github readme page aswell.


came to the comments to find out what it does. what does it do? I still don't get it


The projects website makes it very clear


But it's just this looping 1 sec gif there - http://carnackeys.com/images/screenshot.gif

Doesn't help much.


Came here to say same thing.


...for MS Windows

would be nice to add to the title.


It shows your key strokes on the screen. I see it (or an alternative) used in blender tutorials because the amount of shortcuts in that program is wild.


I've always wanted mouse clicks added to this. This is great!


> requires .NET 4.5.2


Anything like that for Mac?
