About this extension
Never lose a filled-out web form again.

Form Guardian automatically saves what you type into web forms in the background and restores it in one click after a browser crash, an accidental tab close, or a network error. It's free, and your form data stays on your device.

How it works
  1. You type, it saves. As you fill out any form, Form Guardian saves your text locally, in real time.
  2. Something goes wrong. A crash, a closed tab, a dropped connection.
  3. Restore in one click. Reopen the page, click the icon, and your draft is back.

Features
  • ⚡ Automatic background autosave — nothing to press, nothing to remember.
  • 🔄 One-click recovery — bring an entire form back instantly.
  • 🔒 Local-only & private — form content never leaves your device; auto-deleted after 30 days.
  • 🪶 Lightweight — fast, won't slow your browser down.
  • 🆓 Free to use — no payment required. Start instantly with no account; a quick, free Google sign-in keeps your recovery going.

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.
