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 quietly captures your text and stores it locally in your browser — automatically, in real time.
-
2
Something goes wrong
The browser crashes, the tab closes, the connection drops, or a submit fails. 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.
Why people keep Form Guardian installed
A focused tool that does one job extremely well: protecting the work you put into web forms.
↺
One-click recovery
Lost form data is restored to the original fields with a single click — turning a frustrating moment into a non-event.
🔒
Local-only & private
Your form content is stored in your browser's local storage and never uploaded. It's auto-deleted after 30 days.
🧭
Clean, minimal interface
A calm “Deep Focus” popup shows exactly what can be recovered — no clutter, no learning curve.
🪶
Lightweight by design
Built to be fast and unobtrusive so it never slows down your browser or gets in your way.
🆓
Free, with no catch
Every recovery feature is unlocked. No trial counters, no paywall, no upsell at the worst possible moment.
Made for the forms that actually matter

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 for your first 25 recoveries; an optional Google sign-in (required after that) 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 your browser crashes, a tab closes, or your connection drops. Your data is stored locally on your device.
Is Form Guardian free?
Yes. Form Guardian is free to use, and recovering your saved form data works with no limits or trial counter. Local recovery stays free; advanced extras (like cross-device sync) may arrive later as optional upgrades.
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.
