FormGhost — Never Lose Form Data

About

FormGhost — Never Lose Form Data Again

Ever filled out a long form — job application, support ticket, survey, checkout — and lost everything because the page reloaded, crashed, or you accidentally closed the tab?

FormGhost silently saves every keystroke as you type. When you return to that page, it instantly offers to restore your data with one click.

How it works:

Automatically detects and saves text inputs, textareas, dropdowns, checkboxes, and radio buttons
Shows a discreet toast notification when saved data is found: "Restore?" — one click brings everything back
Works on every website, including login forms, signups, contact forms, job applications, and more
Privacy first:

All data stays on your device — zero network requests, zero tracking, zero cloud
Password fields and file inputs are never saved
Data auto-expires after your chosen retention period (default: 7 days)
Features:

Auto-save with 500ms debounce — no performance impact
One-click restore via toast notification
Badge icon shows saved field count per page
Popup dashboard to manage all saved pages
Configurable retention period (1–30 days)
Works with React, Vue, Angular, and all modern frameworks
Dark mode support
SPA-friendly — works on single-page apps with dynamic navigation
Zero configuration required — install and forget
Permissions explained:

storage — saves form data locally on your device
activeTab — reads current page title for saved data display
FormGhost is the modern replacement for the beloved Lazarus Form Recovery, rebuilt from scratch for Manifest V3.
