Essential form recovery for websites. Locally saves form data in real-time and restores it after crashes. Stop losing your work mid-sentence. Form Recover is the airbag for your browser. It quietly saves what you type, so when a tab refreshes, a browser crashes, or a session expires, your work is still there. By default, it works locally, no setup, no accounts required. KEY FEATURES: 🛡️ Reliable Auto-Save: Saves form inputs as you type, designed to handle modern Single Page Applications (SPAs) and complex dashboards. 👻 Contextual Restore: A subtle recovery icon appears only when a draft is available — never distracting. 🕒 Adaptive History: Smart versioning that keeps your history clean and meaningful. 🔒 Local & Private by Default: Drafts are stored locally in your browser and encrypted at rest. ⚡ Lightweight by Design: Built for stability and performance, without blocking your browser’s main thread. 🌐 Broad Editor Support: Designed to work with React-based apps, common rich-text editors (TinyMCE, CKEditor, Quill), and standard HTML forms. Form Recover follows a LOCAL-FIRST design by default. * No centralized servers required for core recovery Drafts stay in your browser unless you explicitly enable optional features. * Encrypted at rest Drafts are encrypted before being written to local storage. * Privacy Lock (optional) Protect the extension UI with a password when using shared devices. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - (FAQ) * Question: What is Form Recover used for? Answer: Form Recover is a browser extension that automatically saves your form entries as you type, so you can recover your text if a page refreshes, crashes, or closes unexpectedly. * Question: Does Form Recover send my data to a server? Answer: No, by default. Drafts are encrypted and stored locally in your browser. Core recovery does not require accounts or servers. * Question: Will it work on dynamic sites or social media? Answer: Form Recover is designed to work with modern Single Page Applications (SPAs) and common rich-text editors used across publishing platforms and web apps. * Question: Does it save my passwords or payment details? Answer: No. Form Recover automatically ignores sensitive fields such as password inputs, hidden fields, and common payment fields. It is designed to save your content, not your credentials. * Question: Does it slow down my browser? Answer: No. The engine uses passive event listeners and smart debouncing to minimize overhead and avoid blocking the main thread. * Question: How do I restore my text? Answer: If a draft exists, focus the empty form field. A subtle recovery icon will appear, click it to restore. You can also open the extension popup to browse and copy drafts. * Question: Is my data secure? Answer: Drafts are encrypted and stored locally on your device. This protects against casual inspection and accidental exposure. Form Recover is not a password manager or full-disk encryption tool — its goal is reliable recovery after browser issues. * Question: Will my drafts survive a browser crash or restart? Answer: Yes. Drafts are saved locally with persistent keys, allowing them to survive crashes, reloads, and restarts without requiring sign-in. * Question: Why do I sometimes see multiple history versions? Answer: Form Recover uses Adaptive History to keep your timeline clean. A new version is created only when: - The text context changes significantly, or - You return after a long break (about 2 hours) - This avoids clutter while preserving meaningful checkpoints.
