ChatGPT’s Computer History tracks your clicks and keystrokes

ChatGPT's macOS desktop app now includes an opt-in Computer History feature that records user clicks and keystrokes to create a timeline for AI automation suggestions. The system lets users exclude specific apps or websites and delete entries for more control, while automatically ignoring private browsing activity.

Background

OpenAI has been expanding ChatGPT beyond chat interfaces into desktop and coding tools, increasingly using user interaction data to refine AI suggestions. This latest feature continues that trend while raising typical privacy considerations around local activity tracking.
