🧠 ChatGPT now watches what you do — and remembers

OpenAI has added Computer History to its macOS desktop app: the assistant tracks your clicks and keystrokes, builds a timeline, and makes it available to both ChatGPT and Codex.

In a demo, OpenAI's Dominic Kundel showed the app locating a recent document, checking whether it was sent in Slack, and summarising the morning — minus the small talk.

The Windows Recall comparison is inevitable — Microsoft's feature once caused an outcry for silently grabbing screenshots. OpenAI says this captures only "events," no images or video. What counts as an "event" remains helpfully vague.

The feature is opt-in; you can exclude apps and delete entries manually. The company building AGI kindly asks you to tick a box so it doesn't accidentally surveil you.
