Backstop – Draft Recovery door backstop-dev

Backstop is automatic draft recovery for Firefox. It quietly saves substantial text typed into multiline web forms and rich-text editors, then offers one-click restoration when a refresh, crash, or expired session leaves the editor empty.

Protect your writing without changing how you browse

• Automatically saves drafts after a short typing pause.
• Recovers text from textareas and rich-text editors.
• Never restores automatically and never overwrites a nonempty field.
• Keeps drafts from separate open tabs isolated.
• Deletes drafts after seven days by default.
• Lets you pause protection and delete data for individual sites.
• Works locally with no account, tracking, telemetry, advertising, or cloud service.

Private and conservative by design

Backstop ignores ordinary single-line inputs and excludes password, payment, authentication, one-time-code, private-key, read-only, and disabled contexts. It does not run in private windows. Rich text is restored as literal plain text, never saved HTML.

Firefox extension storage is local but is not encrypted. Do not use Backstop for passwords, payment details, recovery codes, private keys, seed phrases, or other secrets.

Every feature is free. If Backstop saves your work, you can support independent development at https://buymeacoffee.com/endoftheend.
