DraftGuard auto-saves everything you type into web forms and brings it back after any crash, tab-close, or timeout, then helps you reuse and draft answers that sound like you. Recovery is 100% local. AI is optional and off by default.
Think of it as Google Docs autosave, but for everything you type on the internet.
Recover. Reuse. Draft in your voice.

What draws me to this role is the chance to build tools people actually rely on. At [ADD COMPANY], I led a small team that shipped…
Built for drafts, not secrets.
Your writing stays yours. DraftGuard protects writing fields and skips the sensitive ones (passwords, payments, IDs). No typed content tracked. No personal data collected. The exclusions are hardcoded and can't be turned off.
Page crashed? Session expired? One click brings back everything you typed.
Save your best answers, adapt them to new prompts, and let DraftGuard autofill matching fields — your voice and facts stay consistent.
No saved answer yet? DraftGuard learns your style and real facts from your résumé and writing, then drafts a brand-new answer — previewed before anything's inserted.
No saved answer required. DraftGuard writes a brand-new response from your profile, your writing style, your real facts, and the question on the page — so you start from something that already sounds like you.
Most assistants hide what they "remember" inside a black box. DraftGuard puts your facts in plain sight — skills, leadership, projects, experience — each one visible, sourced, and yours to switch off or delete.
Before you use anything, DraftGuard shows exactly what fed the draft and leaves a clear placeholder wherever a detail is missing — so the result is trustworthy, never made up.
Turn on "Keep learning my voice" and DraftGuard quietly studies the real writing you type — sharpening your style profile and spotting new skills and themes worth remembering. The more you use it, the more it sounds like you.
Applications, cover letters, and role questions — saved, crash-proof, and ready to reuse.
Essays, scholarships, and portal posts, protected from crashes. Never lose 2,000 words again.
Intake forms, client replies, and government portals — write once, reuse in seconds.
Long messages, posts, forms, drafts — if it's important writing, DraftGuard has your back.
One click from the Chrome Web Store. No account needed. No setup. No permissions to grant beyond what's necessary.
DraftGuard silently saves your work every few seconds in the background. You won't even notice it's there.
Recover lost entries instantly. Reuse saved answers across applications. Autofill similar forms with one click.
Forms, essays, applications, emails, messages. If you can type in it, DraftGuard protects it.
Your work is stored locally — no accounts, and your typed content is never tracked. Optional AI drafting (off by default) is the only feature that sends your writing: when you use it, the form's question and relevant on-page context — excluding password/payment/ID fields — go to our AI proxy to generate the result, then are discarded.
Name, email, address, and phone fill from your active profile only — so two people's details never get mixed, and identity never comes from a random saved draft.
DraftGuard only offers to restore when it detects you actually lost data. No annoying popups otherwise.
Your data is yours. Export everything to JSON, move it between machines, or wipe it all from Settings in one click — no account, no lock-in.
React, Angular, Vue, Gmail, Notion, Workday, Greenhouse — DraftGuard handles them all.
I'm applying to like fifty internships right now and this makes it way less of a drag. It remembers what I wrote and drops it right into the boxes, even when the questions are worded differently. The AI voice thing sounds like me, not a weird corporate robot.
An absolute game-changer if you do a lot of online typing. There is nothing worse than losing a long form because a page timed out, and this completely fixes that.
Honestly thought this would be another scammy AI wrapper that paywalls everything after three days. But the core local recovery and text reuse are completely free and unlimited. A genuinely helpful utility that respects your wallet and your time.
Highly recommend. It perfectly tackles session timeouts and accidental back-clicks with a single restore bar. Massive peace of mind. A mandatory install!
The optional AI drafting learns your writing style and only uses info you have given it, leaving blanks when details are missing so it never makes things up. You review everything before it goes in.
Zero signup. The reuse feature is smart enough to match different form labels like first name and given name perfectly. Saves you from retyping the same details on dozens of application pages.
No account setup, no forced signups. It does exactly what it says, cleanly built, lightweight, and respectably private.
Pro checkout is almost ready — we're just finishing payment verification. Until then, the free plan gives you 10 drafts + 10 adapts; Pro makes them unlimited for a one-time $12.
type="hidden" inputs are not touched.DraftGuard stores everything in your browser's local database, and the developer cannot access your saved data. You can delete it all anytime from Settings.
Yes. DraftGuard stores everything locally in your browser using IndexedDB. Your data never touches our servers. We don't have servers. We don't have accounts. Your data is yours.
Yes. Save any form as a template, and DraftGuard will recognize similar forms on other sites and offer to autofill your saved answers. The matching is fuzzy — it works even when field labels differ slightly between sites.
Yes. DraftGuard monitors form fields on all websites, including Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Indeed, and LinkedIn. If a site uses standard form inputs or contenteditable fields, DraftGuard protects them.
Yes. DraftGuard monitors contenteditable fields, which is what Gmail, Notion, and most modern rich text editors use. It also handles React, Angular, and Vue controlled inputs correctly.
No. DraftGuard automatically detects and skips all password fields. Password inputs are hardcoded to be ignored at the field-detection level — they're never read, never stored, and the setting cannot be turned off.
No. DraftGuard automatically skips all payment and financial fields. Credit card numbers, CVV codes, expiration dates, and any input that looks like a payment field (by name, label, or autocomplete attribute) are detected and ignored before they're ever read.
Everything is stored locally on your device in your browser's IndexedDB. The core recovery + autofill features need no account and no cloud, and never send your typed content. Optional AI features are off by default; if you turn them on, only the content you choose is sent to generate a result — for "Adapt," the form's question and the saved answer; for "Draft from my voice," the form's question plus relevant on-page context (the form's other questions and your typed answers, excluding password/payment/ID fields) — see our Privacy Policy. Nothing is stored. You can export your data as JSON or delete it all from Settings at any time.
You can blacklist any site in Settings, and DraftGuard will never run on sites you block. In the recovery bar itself there's a "Don't show on this site" link that adds the current domain to your blacklist in one click. Any URL path containing /checkout, /payment, or /billing is also automatically skipped.
No. DraftGuard is under 50KB and uses event delegation so it only activates when you actually click on a form field. It adds less than 5ms to page load time.
Lazarus was a beloved Chrome extension that auto-saved form data for millions of users. It was discontinued years ago. DraftGuard is the modern, privacy-first successor built for today's web — including support for React, Vue, SPAs, contenteditable editors, and smart template autofill.
Any domain you want. Add sites to the blacklist in Settings, or use the "Don't show on this site" link directly in the recovery bar to silence DraftGuard on the current site in one click. Any URL path containing /checkout, /payment, or /billing is also automatically skipped regardless of blacklist.
Be one of the first to use DraftGuard — recover, reuse, and draft your best writing without thinking twice.
