WhatPulse is just a keystroke logger, it only logs how many keystrokes you've made, and then it submits it into a ranking system.

This is a keystroke and clicks logger if you want to compete.

It's just WhatPulse.org's client to record keystroke count
no1 (further information)

This program counts how many mouse clicks and keystokes you have made. It then transfers that data to your profile. This is harmless and people often join groups to compete.

Een programma dat bijhoud hoevaak je een toets indrukt of met de muis klikt. Dit kan worden 'gepulsed' naar een online server voor meer muisklikken en toetsaanslagen voor jou team.

Its A Keystroke Counter.

It's a harmless application which records the QUANTITY of keystrokes and clicks you make. It then sends the numbers to the server to register them to your profile for bragging rights among your nerdy statistics-whore friends.
Aaron Yanich (further information)

It is a keylogger, and an extremely dangerous one at that
NightStalkerSL

It is a keylogger.

It is completely harmless. See: "WhatPulse is not and never will be any sort of keylogger, it does not collect the keys you type, but only how many keys you type"
