How Form Guardian works
Set it and forget it. Three steps, zero effort.
-
1
You type, it saves
As you fill out any web form, Form Guardian saves your text to your browser's local storage as you type — automatically, in real time.
-
2
Something goes wrong
You close the tab by accident, hit Back on the trackpad, or the form clears after a failed submit. Your work would normally be gone.

3
Restore in one click
Reopen the page, click the Form Guardian icon, and bring your saved draft back into the form instantly.
Live demo
Crash a form, get it back
A 30-second hands-on demo: fill in a form, crash the page on purpose, and watch Form Guardian pull your text back into the fields. It recovers for real once the extension is installed.

Privacy by default
Form Guardian is built on a simple promise: the content of your forms stays on your device.
- Form data is saved to your browser's local storage only.
- Nothing you type into forms is sent to our servers.
- Saved drafts are automatically cleared after 30 days.
- Password fields are ignored by design.
- No account needed to start. A free Google sign-in keeps your recoveries going and only links the extension to your account — it never uploads your form content.
- Privacy-first usage analytics with a one-tap opt-out, plus a “clear all data” button.
Frequently asked questions
What is Form Guardian?
Form Guardian is a free browser extension for Chrome and Firefox that automatically saves the text you type into web forms and lets you restore it in one click if you accidentally close a tab, a form clears after a failed submit, or your browser crashes. Your data is stored locally on your device.
Is Form Guardian free?
Yes — Form Guardian is free to use, with no payment or credit card. You can start with no account; a free Google sign-in keeps your recoveries going. It's in active development, so free-tier limits and optional paid plans may change over time.
Where is my form data stored?
Saved form data never leaves your computer. It is kept in your browser's local storage and is automatically deleted after 30 days. Form Guardian does not upload the contents of your forms to any server.
Does Form Guardian save passwords?
No. Form Guardian ignores password fields and is designed for ordinary text inputs such as job applications, support tickets, comments, and long forms — not credentials.
How is this different from my browser's built-in autofill?
Browser autofill only remembers fixed identity details like your name and address. Form Guardian captures the live, in-progress content of any form as you type, so you can recover the actual work you lost — not just a saved address.
Does it work on Chrome and Firefox?
Yes. Form Guardian is available for both Google Chrome (and Chromium-based browsers) and Mozilla Firefox.
