Named ReiKey [GitHub], Wardle created and released this new app towards the end of 2018, as the researcher started looking into the inner workings of macOS keyloggers

By default, ReiKey runs all the time in the OS' background and listens to newly registered event taps, but it can also scan a system on demand for any processes that have already installed a CoreGraphics keyboard event tap.
"The majority of macOS malware that contains keylogger logic (to capture keypresses) does so via CoreGraphics 'event taps'," said Wardle.

However, very few macOS apps tend to use event taps, and ReiKey is the perfect app to have your back when installing new or never-before-used apps.
