Overview

Auto-saves and recovers form data to prevent data loss.

πŸ“ **Form Recovery** β€” Never lose your form input again. Form Recovery is a lightweight, privacy-respecting Chrome extension that automatically saves your typed form data in real-time β€” so if the page crashes, reloads, or you accidentally close a tab, your work isn't lost. --- ## πŸš€ Features βœ… **Auto-save input every few seconds** Form Recovery detects when you're typing and silently saves form data every 10 seconds if any changes are detected. πŸ“‚ **Organized by website & timestamp** Entries are grouped by URL and saved with a timestamp so you can easily go back to the right version. ⚑ **Quick Inject button** Restore all your saved data with a single click. The extension finds the matching fields and re-populates them automatically. 🧠 **Smart field recognition** Supports `input`, `textarea`, and even `contenteditable` fields like those used in rich-text editors or chat boxes. πŸ“‹ **Manual copy fallback for tricky sites** On platforms like Facebook that use complex DOM structures or restrict form interaction, Form Recovery provides a clean copy interface with per-field copy buttons. A message alerts you if automatic injection isn’t possible. πŸ–±οΈ **Right-click recovery** Right-click anywhere on a webpage and select **"Recover Form Data"** to open a popup recovery window showing all past entries for that page. 🧼 **Automatic cleanup** Old entries are automatically removed after 30 days to keep things tidy. πŸ” **No syncing, no accounts, no cloud** Everything is stored locally on your device. Your data never leaves your browser. --- ## 🧩 Use Cases - Filling out long feedback or contact forms - Writing comments or posts on social media - College/job applications that time out - Accidentally closing a tab with unsent input - Working in single-page apps that crash or reset content --- ## 🎯 How to Use 1. Just browse and type as normal β€” the extension runs silently in the background. 2. If you need to recover something: - Click the extension icon to view all saved form entries. - Or right-click the page and select **Recover Form Data**. 3. Use **Quick Inject** to repopulate fields or **Copy** buttons to paste values manually. --- ## πŸ”’ Privacy & Security Form Recovery is built with **privacy first**: - Your form data is stored **locally** using `chrome.storage.local`. - We do **not** transmit or collect any personal data. - We do **not** use analytics, trackers, or third-party libraries. - You stay completely in control. πŸ“Œ You do **not** need to create an account or log in to use this extension. --- ## πŸ–ΌοΈ Screenshots *(Upload screenshots in the dashboard showing:)* - The popup with saved entries - The recovery page with quick inject - A Facebook fallback message and copy buttons - Example of a restored form --- ## 🧰 Permissions - `storage` – To save and retrieve your form entries - `activeTab`, `tabs` – To detect the current tab for injecting data - `scripting` – To auto-fill forms on request - `contextMenus` – To add the right-click "Recover Form Data" option - `<all_urls>` – So it can detect and save form input on any site These permissions are **only used locally** and solely to provide the extension's core features. --- ## ❓ FAQ ### Does it sync between devices? No β€” all form data is saved only on your device. This ensures privacy and simplicity. ### Will it work on every site? It works on nearly all sites. However, some complex platforms like Facebook use non-standard input fields or block script injection. In those cases, the extension provides a message and copy buttons so you can manually recover your data. ### How long is data saved? Saved entries are automatically deleted after 30 days. --- ## πŸ› οΈ Developer Notes Form Recovery was designed to solve a simple but annoying problem β€” losing unsent text in forms when the page reloads, crashes, or is closed accidentally. It's meant to be lightweight, local-first, and focused on solving one problem well. If you have feedback, bugs, or feature suggestions, you’re welcome to reach out or contribute! --- ## βœ… Summary Form Recovery is your safety net for online forms. Never retype a long message, form, or comment again. --- **Created by:** Kevin Aspden Version: 1.0 Platform: Chrome Extension
