Universal Undo: Recover Text

UtilityFirst

About this app

Accidentally deleted a long message, cleared a note, or lost text in a form?

Universal Undo helps you recover typed text, restore lost drafts, and undo typing mistakes on Android before you have to start over.

Think of it as a private Ctrl+Z for Android. It works with the text you are actively typing in chats, notes, email, and forms, so you can undo typing mistakes and recover cleared form text without switching to a different keyboard.

What Universal Undo helps you recover:
• Chat drafts and replies
• Note drafts and journal entries
• Email drafts
• Form text and longer typed paragraphs

Why people install Universal Undo:
• Get typed text back after an accidental delete
• Restore lost drafts without starting from zero
• Recover cleared form text before retyping everything
• Keep using your usual apps instead of changing keyboards

Privacy and control:
• Text recovery stays on your device
• Password and sensitive fields are excluded
• You can ignore apps anytime with Manage Apps
• You stay in control of Accessibility and overlay permissions

Accessibility Service disclosure for Play listing:
• Universal Undo uses Android's AccessibilityService API to detect text changes in focused input fields while you type
• This lets the app save recent on-device text states for undo, redo, and Timeline restore
• Password and other sensitive fields are excluded
• You choose whether to enable the service, and you can turn it off again in Android settings
• The app does not restore deleted server-side messages or media

Good to know:
• Works best for text you are actively typing in supported apps
• Some app and keyboard behavior can vary by device
• Universal Undo is for recovering typed text, not for restoring deleted server-side messages or media

When words disappear by accident, get your text back faster with Universal Undo.

What’s new

Universal Undo is simpler and more reliable than ever. We've streamlined your options to two polished trigger modes — Button and Gestures — so text recovery is always one tap or swipe away. The shake trigger has been retired for a steadier experience. Get your drafts back faster with the floating button or edge swipes, whichever fits your flow.
