ChatGPT Mac: Computer History Replaces Chronicle

OpenAI has introduced a new feature for ChatGPT on Mac called Computer History. This allows ChatGPT and Codex to learn from your Mac usage, even outside the app. Here's the thing: Computer History replaces Codex's Chronicle research preview. It builds a searchable timeline from your activity across selected apps and websites. This new feature is off by default and must be enabled by each user. What's interesting is how it works: Computer History records interaction events like clicks, typing, and app switching, using macOS accessibility features. It does not capture screenshots, screen recordings, or audio. Your private browsing activity is also excluded. The bottom line: This feature is designed to help users remember past activities, find documents, or summarize work. It's available to ChatGPT Pro, Business, and Enterprise users, with some regional exclusions.
