Used to be the first thing I installed when setting up another computer.

I can second this recommendation. I don't use it much nowadays, but it's done good work for me in the past, and I've gladly paid them the 20$ for a Pro license.

I have to say that they haven't grasped the whole "open source on GitHub" thing yet though. It took me over a year to get a PR accepted that fixed a simple Qt5 #include problem...

Does it have working encryption yet? It's been a while since I've used it, I stopped because at the time you were basically sending all keystrokes in plaintext over the network.
Looks like the pro version has. My issue is that it's hooking before autohotkey and my keyboard layout only works nice with ahk.
