Is there any Android keylogger available in existence? (self.foss)

I sometimes lose typed text due to form issues, accidental edits/deletions, etc. and am really interested in any running keylogger for Android phones. Thanks for any help or ideas!

Wow, the attacks here are unbelievably disappointing. Why would I lie about this? Has none of you ever lost any typed text ever? Someone even had the audacity to say it exists but refuse to say where...

Want to link to it?

No.

Then why even respond? Isn't FOSS all about helping each other?

No.

the terms "free software" and "open source software" should be applied to any "software products distributed under terms that allow users" to use, modify, and redistribute the software "in any manner they see fit, without requiring that they pay the author(s) of the software a royalty or fee for engaging in the listed activities."

I don't understand why you would bold-face that part and not "in any manner they see fit," because that sure seems to be more relevant to what you're invoking here.

Assisting you in finding, installing, and configuring key logging software is not within the manner I see fit. I don't have access to such software and thus cannot share such with you in any manner. Of the software I do have and know of which can do what you're asking, It is not in my manner to share it with you.

Therefore, I am doing what I see fit. Others might feel differently. However when it comes to open source software, you said:

Isn't FOSS all about helping each other?

I say; no. Free software is I don't want to pay for Adobe. open source software is about having the freedom to change software to your purpose and being free to distribute those changes, without compensation required and without legal troubles.
