📝 **Form Recovery** — 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 — so if the page crashes, reloads, or you accidentally close a tab, your work isn't lost.
---
## 🚀 Features
✅ **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.
📂 **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.
📋 **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.
🖱️ **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.
🔐 **No syncing, no accounts, no cloud**
Everything is stored locally on your device. Your data never leaves your browser.

## ❓ FAQ
### Does it sync between devices?
No — 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.
