Recent changes: Version 3.2.3 (18th September 2020): Important: The Quick Restore popup will no longer show for contentEditable fields. These fields are known to not function as they should after restoring into them. Typio will no longer automatically restore data into these fields because there is no safe way of doing it. Your data can still be accessed from the Recovery Window and can be manually restored by copying and pasting it. New: Better support for re-usable input fields (common in chat applications) New: Better support for state based applications (React, Vue, Angular etc) New: The Quick Restore Icon now re-positions with input fields if they change in size New: Focus is now restored to the input after using the Quick Restore Popup to restore

This hasn't worked in years I think. I just know every time I lose text, Typio doesn't have it for me. Used to work pretty well. Need to change though, cuz I'm losing my texts!!

Doesn't work anymore but I still give it five stars. Many thanks to the original coder Nicklas Sandell. And also thanks to Tsukumi Jima for creating a working reboot. Find it here, download the zip, unzip it and load it in developer mode. Works as a charm. https://github.com/tsukumijima/typio-form-recovery-reboot/releases
