About Form Recover
The story behind the extension and the principles that guide its development.
Who Built Form Recover
Form Recover is an independent browser extension built and maintained by M. Khoirul Huda (@mkhuda), a software engineer focused on browser reliability, privacy-first tooling, and long-running web systems.
The project started from a simple frustration: losing long drafts in modern web applications—emails, issue trackers, CMS forms—even on stable browsers. Despite advances in web technology, browsers were never designed to be reliable draft managers.
Form Recover exists to fill that gap.
Built With Clear Boundaries
Form Recover’s core recovery engine is intentionally designed to work locally by default.
- No account required for core recovery
- No centralized servers involved in the default workflow
- No cloud sync enabled by default
- No telemetry or analytics
Drafts are stored locally in your browser and never leave your device unless you explicitly enable optional features.
Some advanced or premium features may allow optional integrations or user-configured backends. These are opt-in and disabled by default.
This extension is designed to reduce accidental data loss—not to replace secure editors or protect against a compromised device. Transparency about these boundaries is a core design principle.
Independent by Design
Form Recover is currently developed and maintained by a single engineer, without venture funding or a parent company. This allows the project to prioritize predictable behavior, minimal permissions, and user trust over growth metrics.

Looking Ahead
Form Recover is under active development. Features are added carefully, with a focus on reliability, performance, and privacy rather than feature volume.
If you have feedback or edge cases you’d like to share, I personally welcome them.
