I don't understand what exactly you mean by captures the keys you are typing? Do you mean that you want an app which constantly is running, telling you all the keys and letters and numbers that were pressed, and then recorded? That is called a keylogger, and hackers/programmers use them often when they want to capture passwords and what-not. Why would you want something like that?

Yeah, what exactly have you done to look for a program, and what is your programming experience? I would always recommend the Google search. I just did it, but unfortunately, all I have seen so far is people complaining about identity theft, and others asking the same question you are. I didn't see any free downloads, links or suggestions to help you get started.

Here is a link to a site that says it is interested in parental control, they have some keyloggers on sale: http://www.parentalcontrolapps.com/iphone-parental-controls/cellphone-keylogger/#more-729

here are some more results I found , but I am not sure if they are malicious or not. Investigate at your own risk:

You are already likely more informed than I am at this point, so I don't know what else to say. As for the screen capture thread, I would think the next step is contacting the developer and asking for tips/help.
