ChatGPT's newest feature is like Windows Recall without screenshots
PCWorld reports that OpenAI has launched a ChatGPT feature called Computer History, currently available only on Mac, which tracks desktop activity to create a searchable timeline of user actions. Unlike Windows Recall, the feature avoids constant screenshots, instead logging activity more discreetly, with users able to manually enable it and exclude specific apps or websites. The feature is expected to reach users in the European Economic Area within coming weeks. ChatGPT's desktop app now includes a new feature called "Computer History," which was announced via social media post by Ari Weinstein, a Codex product manager at OpenAI. Computer History allows ChatGPT to track your computer activity, creating a timeline of your actions that can then be used by ChatGPT and Codex. It's similar to Microsoft's Windows Recall feature, which also tracks your activity history, except Computer History doesn't take screenshots.
