  • Love it! Works great! Has some minor flaws but everything does in life. Recommend trying it out for sure today!

  • Personal Monitor is the best solution I've found to track my kids computer usage. Basically anything they can do on the computer, REFOG can make note of it. Its sophistication coupled with its ease of configuration make it a home run for its intended usage.

  • This product is wonderful. We only have one computer at home, and I warned my kids they're being watched. I never bothered to actually check what's captures, but the little keylogger icon is always there, reminding my kids to behave.

  • I have two teenagers spending most of their time before their computers. I had no clue what they were doing there! Thanks to your child monitor, I feel I am back in control now without them even knowing.

Questions Parents Ask About Refog Keylogger

Is it legal to use Refog Keylogger to monitor my child’s computer? plus minus

Yes — in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and most of the EU, parents have the legal right to monitor a minor child’s computer activity using software like Refog Keylogger. Refog is built specifically for family use on computers you own. If your child is 18 or older, getting their consent is recommended, and Refog should not be installed on devices belonging to other adults without their knowledge.

Is Refog Keylogger safe — is it a virus or malware? plus minus

Refog Keylogger is safe parental monitoring software, not a virus or malware. It does not contain spyware, adware, or any code that shares your data with third parties. Refog has been installed on more than 48 million computers across 201 countries, and all logs are transmitted over encrypted connections to a private account protected by your password. The development team has actively maintained the product since its first release.

Will antivirus software or Windows Defender block Refog Keylogger? plus minus

Refog Keylogger is designed to coexist with Windows Defender and major antivirus tools, but because any keylogger may be flagged by design, you may need to add Refog to your antivirus exclusion list during installation. This is the most common question Refog support handles, and the team will walk you through whitelisting in a few minutes if you run into a conflict. Once whitelisted, Refog runs reliably in the background.

Does Refog Keylogger work on Windows 11, Windows 10, and Mac? plus minus

Refog Keylogger works on Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8.1/8, and Windows 7, and there is a separate native version for macOS. Both versions sync captured data to the same online dashboard, so a parent with a mixed household can monitor a Windows desktop and a MacBook from a single Refog account. Installation takes about five minutes per computer and supports both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.

What exactly does Refog Keylogger record? plus minus

Refog Keylogger records keystrokes, visited websites, search queries, chat and social media messages, application usage, clipboard contents, and periodic screenshots of the screen. All events are timestamped and grouped by user, so you can see exactly when each activity happened. Refog also captures search terms typed into Google, YouTube, and other engines, which helps parents notice risky interests early. Logs upload automatically to your private online dashboard.

Is Refog Keylogger invisible — will my child know it’s installed? plus minus

Refog Keylogger runs in invisible mode by default — it does not appear in the Start menu, system tray, taskbar, or standard program list, and it shows no pop-ups or notifications to the child using the computer. Only you, with your password, can open the local settings panel using a configured hotkey, or you can review everything remotely through the Refog online dashboard from any browser.

How much does Refog Keylogger cost? plus minus

Refog Keylogger starts at $39 for a one-year license covering one computer. Multi-year plans bring the price down to $29 per year on a three- or four-year subscription, and a free version of Refog is also available for parents who only need basic keystroke logging. There are no hidden fees: cloud log storage and access to the online dashboard are included in every paid subscription.

Is there a free version of Refog Keylogger? plus minus

Yes — Refog Free Keylogger is a genuinely free Windows application that records every keystroke typed on the computer with no time limits, no trials, and no requirement to pay or upgrade for the core keystroke logging feature. Most so-called free keyloggers stop working after a few days; Refog’s free tier has been available without restrictions since the product launched. Paid plans add screenshots, social media monitoring, and remote dashboard access.

How do I install Refog Keylogger on my child’s computer? plus minus

Installing Refog Keylogger takes about five minutes and requires one-time physical access to your child’s computer. You download the installer from refog.com, run it with administrator rights, sign in with your Refog account, and the program starts capturing activity in invisible mode. From that moment on, you check everything remotely from your phone, tablet, or another computer through the online dashboard — no further access to the monitored PC is needed.

Can I view what Refog records remotely from my phone? plus minus

Yes — Refog Keylogger uploads all activity to a private online dashboard that you open in any web browser on a phone, tablet, or computer. You can check on your child during your lunch break, organized by date and by user, without sitting at their PC. New events appear shortly after they happen, so you stay aware of what’s going on without micromanaging or hovering over the device.

How is Refog different from free keyloggers and parental control apps like Qustodio or Bark? plus minus

Refog Keylogger is built specifically as parental monitoring software for Windows and Mac, with screenshots, an online dashboard, multi-device support, and active customer support. Free keyloggers usually store logs only on the local computer and lack a remote viewing interface. Compared with parental control apps like Qustodio or Bark, Refog focuses on capturing the full picture of a child’s computer activity — including keystrokes and screen content — rather than only filtering websites and screen time.

How can I respect my teenager’s privacy while keeping them safe with Refog? plus minus

Refog Keylogger gives you the option to look without forcing you to micromanage. Many parents use Refog as a safety net rather than a spotlight — they don’t read every message, they just watch for red flags such as new contacts, late-night activity, or concerning search terms. The choice of how often to check, and when to talk openly with your teenager about monitoring, stays entirely in your hands.
