OpenAI launches Computer History, an opt-in macOS feature turning recent activity into memories for ChatGPT and Codex

Techmeme 74 min read ↗ Original

OpenAI introduced Computer History, an opt-in feature for macOS that captures recent computer activity as a local timeline and memories that ChatGPT and Codex can access.

WHY IT MATTERS

This gives ChatGPT and Codex persistent context about a user's recent work on macOS, potentially reducing the need to manually re-establish context across sessions. The opt-in design and single-platform rollout suggest OpenAI is moving carefully around the privacy implications of continuous activity monitoring.
