Description from store

Formalizr is the web browser extension designed to remember what you type in web pages. This can come handy if a page crashes or reloads without submitting what you typed up in it. With Formalizr you can easily recover the lost text.

This is an Open Source project:
https://github.com/dennisbabkin/Formalizr

DISCLAIMER: All data collected by the Formalizr will be stored locally on the computer where you install the Formalizr extension. Collected data can be fully removed from the Formalizr extension at any given time. The Formalizr extension will NOT attempt to offload, distribute, broadcast, sell or in any way share collected data. We designed Formalizr extension with the privacy of the user's data in mind.

unbelievable chrome would remove this, this was the most useful extension when it was available

Павел Проскуряков 2025-08-30

Very sad it's not supported any more. Really hoping it's available again or somebody recommends an alternative for restoring typed text on webpages

Diego Katzman 2025-07-25

It was great but not Chrome has blocked it. Any plans to fix the problem and make it available again?

Fails to install on Lemur browser and yet it installs on kiwi

It would be nice if there was a function that could automatically recover the text. By the way,It hasn't been updated for too long.

Found this after Typio was abandonded by it's developers. Works great and does almost exactly what i wanted it to do. Nice job! Highly recommend to anyone who has had to fill out a text box twice because of a load or sending error. Just wish they made a version to work on my phone too!

Coming from Typio (which has been abandoned by developer), this app works fine enough. It's not as fully featured as Typio (i.e. like right click option, etc), but it'll do. Nothing worse than losing your typing when the page crashes! BTW, for set-in stone Typio users, read the hack that can get it working again. I don't have the patience for that, so this app is good enough for the moment.

Following the failure and collapse of Typio, I was hopeful and had great expectations of Formalizr. However, what on earth is the point of such apps when they are missing the most important function, such as the ability to search for an entry? It is useless and pointless.

Does exactly what I need without any hassles. Not savvy enough to know if this is the best solution out there for everyone, but when pages freeze or reload or in some other way screw up while I'm writing something, so far this little extension has been able to help me recover my content. Also, while we have to take someone's word for it, it appears to be more privacy friendly than other options I've seen, but IDK.

It's okay, but, unlike Typio, it does not have a search function. Another super annoyance, it doesn't go by what website you are on. Say you are typing a review on Amazon. Come back a day or so later and go to revise that review, there will be a ton of entries for other sites, but Amazon will be missing. You won't find a single Amazon listing. I don't know if it's right setting, but I set the memory for 512 pages so that I won't lose my entries as quickly. But it's still too limited. Typio was absolute Genius and it's really a shame what Google did to Chrome to break great extensions like that one. Formalizr is the only thing left that can do something similar, but it is sorely lacking. Maybe I'll find something better, but Google is seriously out to destroy everything good in its store page. Don't get me started on Firefox.

Typioが機能しなくなったので向こうのレビューで紹介されていたこちらへ乗り換えに来ました。 評判良さそうなので期待してます。 Typioは長年使っていたのでとても残念です。

I'm yet another Lazarus/Typio migrant. Thank you for your work on this. It'll save me in the future!

Finally, a text recovery extension that actually works! Not since the old Lazarus extension on Firefox from a decade ago has such an extension been available anywhere. There are many extensions that claim to be able to recover text, but none of them have worked reliably for me. This one works every time. And if that weren't enough, it has enough options to satisfy just about everyone. On top of that, the user interface is beautiful and a pleasure to use. Great work!

Works great, Even has a slider that allows you to go back to earlier variations of the same text box.

Please make an option to have a pin to unlock the app. As it is no everyone that uses the PC can see what we typed.

This piece of extension is awesome. i have been using it for a over 8 months now

I've been using this one for ages, surprised there are so few users and ratings. This is a well thought off extension, a true life saver. Basically saves everything I type in chrome, and provides the option to resurrect any point in time of this (according to the settings it's setup with)

Absolutely love this. Chrome doesn't save anything so, when a crash happens, I lose everything. Well, Formalizr did everything it promised as it restored all my tabs and it even saved what I was writing when Windows Update somehow got reset to Automatic Updates and closed me down. Five stars and I highly recommend it!
