Lightning Autofill is a powerful Chrome extension designed to save you time and increase productivity by automating form filling. Since 2010, it has been the go-to tool to handle everything from account registration and shopping cart checkouts to complex multi-page forms that browsers cannot autofill. With features like text snippets, form recovery, JavaScript automation, and cloud syncing through Google Sheets, it transforms tedious data entry into a seamless experience.

The extension offers a freemium model with a free tier suitable for casual users and paid plans unlocking unlimited profiles, cloud sync, and advanced JavaScript rules. Privacy is paramount; Lightning Autofill does not track or share your data, keeping all information local while providing powerful rule generators, hotkeys, regular expressions, and automated form submissions. Whether you want to reduce repetitive strain, automate frequent tasks, or manage forms with ease, Lightning Autofill provides a robust, flexible, and secure solution.
