ChatGPT's Computer History Tracks Your Clicks and Keystrokes on macOS

It's an opt-in feature in the macOS ChatGPT app that tracks user activity (clicks and keystrokes) to build a timeline used by ChatGPT and Codex to improve responses and suggest task automations.

Yes, the feature is opt-in and can be fully disabled, or you can exclude specific apps and websites and delete individual entries.

The feature automatically ignores content in private browsing windows and offers granular control, but it still collects sensitive activity data, so users should review settings regularly.

OpenAI hasn't announced regional restrictions, but it's likely available in regions where the macOS ChatGPT app is offered, subject to local data protection laws like Saudi Arabia's PDPL.
