First, we need to collect our keystrokes. This would be a nice challenge to do, but I'll leave it on the side for now. So, I started looking into existing keyloggers in Github (Yeah, I know this sounds a bit weird because the chosen one could be malicious - I'm aware of that possibility). After a few possibilities, I found out caseyscarborough/keylogger, went through the code and it seemed simple to use and make changes to adjust it for my specific needs. Now let's dive into the heatmap and drawing part.

Your data is snooped in transit, whether iCloud syncs, messages, etc. I'd be more worried about someone walking off with the laptop, not installing a key logger (proof of concept GitHub: https://github.com/caseyscarborough/keylogger).
