    ChatGPT Introduces Computer History Feature for Mac

    OpenAI has introduced Computer History, an opt-in feature for ChatGPT on Mac that records user activity across apps and websites, turning that data into memories and a timeline that the chatbot can recall. The feature, which is not available in the EEA, Switzerland, or the UK, records events like clicks, typing, keyboard shortcuts, app switches, and accessibility context, summarizing them into plain-text Markdown files stored locally. OpenAI warns of prompt injection risks and advises users to protect their Mac accounts and exclude confidential information.
