After 1 hour the scripts stops execution.\n\n## Usage\n\nRun \u0026 supress ouptut\n```bash\npython3 app \u0026\u003e /dev/null\n```\n\n## Creating Bundled Executables\n\nGitHub Actions automatically builds executables for Ubuntu, Fedora, and Windows on every push to the main branch. You can download pre-built executables from the [Actions artifacts](../../actions).\n\n### Linux (Ubuntu/Fedora)\n\nTo build a standalone Linux executable for the keylogger:\n\n1. Make sure you have Python 3.x installed on your Linux machine.\n2. Clone or copy all project files to your Linux machine.\n3. Run the build script:\n   ```bash\n   chmod +x build_linux.sh\n   ./build_linux.sh\n   ```\n   This script will:\n   - Install required Python packages\n   - Install PyInstaller if needed\n   - Build the executable using PyInstaller\n4. After completion, the executable will be located at `dist/app`.\n\nYou can now run `./dist/app` to start the keylogger on Linux.\n\n### Windows\n\nTo build a standalone Windows executable for the keylogger:\n\n1. Make sure you have Python 3.x installed on your Windows machine.\n2. Copy all project files (including `app.py`, `requirements.txt`, and `build_windows.bat`) to your Windows machine.\n3. Double-click or run `build_windows.bat` in Command Prompt. This script will:\n\t- Install required Python packages\n\t- Install PyInstaller if needed\n\t- Build the executable using PyInstaller\n4. After completion, the executable will be located at `dist\\app.exe`.\n\nYou can now run `dist\\app.exe` to start the keylogger on Windows.\n\nRun with cronjob at a specific time\n```bash\n15 23 29 * * python3 /path/to/script.py\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fablil%2Fkeylogger","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fablil%2Fkeylogger","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fablil%2Fkeylogger/lists"}
