ChatGPT’s ‘Computer History’ Turns Mac Activity Into A Searchable Timeline

by rrollins, August 18, 2026

ChatGPT’s Computer History for macOS can turn activity across selected apps and websites into a searchable timeline and local memories that help users resume work, find recent documents, and spot repeatable workflows. The opt-in feature records interaction events such as clicks, typing, shortcuts, and app switches instead of screenshots or audio. Users control which sources are included and can pause or delete history. Temporary event files stay on the Mac for up to 48 hours and are not used for model training. The feature is available to Pro, Business, and Enterprise users, with administrator approval required for workplace accounts first.
