Privacy first

Saved form data lives in your browser's local storage and is never uploaded. Password fields are ignored by design. A free Google sign-in — needed only to keep recovering — only links the extension to your account; it never uploads what you type. You can opt out of anonymous usage analytics and clear all stored data at any time.

Perfect for job applications, support tickets, government forms, long comments, CRM entry, surveys, and multi-page web apps.
