Just for the record, WhatPulse tracks how many times each key is pressed, but not the sequence.
So if I type the word "evasive", it simply appends numbers to the log:
2x E, 2x V, 1x A, 1x S, 1x I
And because you Pulse on your own schedule, there's no way for them to turn that into a legible sentence.
"Evasive Super Power" = 4x E, 2x V, 1x A, 2x S, 1x I, 1x U, 2x P, 1x O, 1x W, 2x R.
If you type more than 3 words per pulse (a pulse might be a few hours, or you can set it to every 1000 characters), there's no way you could ever "read" what was typed.
It's a per-key click counter, not a traditional keylogger which counts not the click count, but the actual letters, in sequence (as in, the words typed).
WhatPulse may tell you that you pressed E 400 times, but that doesn't help someone figure out your password or banking info you typed in.
