This is a standard Windows Defender false-positive. Feel free to run the app, should you choose to.

why does it give false positives to like all apps

possibly, we use a common public package for keystroke detection. this means some use it for good and bad which leads to some false positives on our end...

I'm positive that Windows detected some program using this for malicious reasons and now we're flagged as a potential threat.
