About Never Lose Text
Never Lose Text helps you recover text you typed into websites — even if a tab crashes, a page refreshes, or a session expires. It quietly saves your input while you type, and lets you restore it right back into the field when you need it.
What it does
- Automatically saves text from inputs, textareas, and content-editable editors
- Restores saved text directly back into the same field (context menu + quick actions)
- Keeps everything on your device (local-only storage)
⭐️ Key features
✔ Auto-save while typing (adjustable interval)
✔ Restore from the right-click menu for the current field
✔ Quick Paste keyboard shortcut to paste the latest saved entry

✔ Search and filter by text, website, and date
✔ Retention settings: control how long data is kept and how many entries are stored
