ReiKey Installer
ReiKey Installer installs ReiKey, a macOS security utility that scans for keyboard event taps and alerts you when new ones are added.
What is ReiKey Installer?
ReiKey Installer is the setup app for ReiKey, a native macOS security utility from Objective-See. ReiKey helps users detect keyboard event taps, a mechanism that software can use to monitor keystrokes, and it can watch for new taps being installed while your Mac is running. The installer launches the main app and guides you through initial options such as startup behavior and whether to show a menu bar icon. After installation, users can run scans to review existing taps and keep background monitoring enabled for ongoing alerts. This makes it useful for security-conscious Mac users who want more visibility into software that may be capturing keyboard input.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
This installer is for a legitimate macOS security tool. Its purpose is to monitor keyboard event taps, so some system prompts or security permissions may be normal during setup and use. Because it watches sensitive input-related activity, keep it only if you want that monitoring on your Mac, and download updates from Objective-See to reduce risk from outdated builds.
Recommendation: Keep ReiKey Installer if you still need it to install or reinstall ReiKey. If ReiKey is already set up and working, you can usually remove the installer app without affecting everyday use of the installed tool.
