One-liners
- Input Stats counts your keystrokes, clicks and scroll in the macOS menu bar — and never records what you type.
- A tiny, open-source Mac app that turns your keyboard and mouse activity into charts, streaks and a shareable profile.
- Find out whether you're a night owl or a nine-to-fiver: Input Stats maps your typing by hour of day, from counts only.
