OpenAI Introduces 'Computer History' for ChatGPT on macOS to Track and Recall User Workflows OpenAI has rolled out a major update for the ChatGPT macOS app, introducing a new feature called Computer History . Designed to replace the earlier experimental "Chronicle" extension, this feature allows ChatGPT to log on-device activities such as clicks, keystrokes, and application usage. The goal is to provide the AI with contextual awareness of user workflows, enabling it to answer historical queries like, "What was I trying to debug yesterday?" Addressing potential privacy concerns upfront, OpenAI has designed Computer History to be opt-in by default . Users must manually enable the feature and specifically whitelist which applications and websites the AI is permitted to track. OpenAI also explicitly clarified that the system only logs telemetry and activity data; it does not record screens or capture audio . The feature is integrated into both the standard ChatG...
