- OpenAI launched Computer History, an opt-in feature that captures recent macOS activity locally and turns it into a memories-style timeline.
- The new timeline is designed to be available to ChatGPT and Codex, letting those products draw on the user's recent computer activity as context.
Why it matters: By making the feature strictly opt-in and local, OpenAI is giving users control over whether their Mac activity feeds into ChatGPT and Codex responses, shifting the default from copy-paste context to consented background context.
