Mouse button and keypress counter for Mac OS X
Based on the inspiration provided by MrDaniel, I decided to program a simple little counter.
The source code for this, minus the UI defined as xib
; uses Foundation and AppKit frameworks (full sources and Xcode project on GitHub):

Icons used in the toolbar are from Tango Desktop Project.
WhatPulse runs on Windows, OS X, and Linux.
Thanks to Vsauce for pointing this one out.
Typingstats displays a total number of keystrokes and various other metrics. It doesn't count pointing device clicks though.
