The recovery loop
Lose the window. Keep the words.
Typing is grouped into useful entries after a short pause. When something disappears, search a phrase you remember, open the matching entry, and copy it back.
Type where you already work
The menu bar app captures non-secure typing across Mac apps after Accessibility permission is granted.
Pause, then it becomes an entry
A three-second pause groups the current text into a readable local record.
Search the fragment you remember
Fuzzy search tolerates incomplete phrases and small mistakes.
Copy it back, or delete it
Recovery stays under your control from capture through cleanup.
The privacy boundary
Local means local.
There is no account, backend, telemetry stream, or sync service. Typing History writes its records to your Mac’s Application Support folder and exposes them through the native app and optional Raycast companion.
