Universal Undo: Recover Text is a free mobile utility application by developer UtilityFirst. It is a system-wide tool that helps users recover text that they accidentally lost or deleted. It works with most common tasks and applications, including emails, notes, and even chats, and can get back short sentences to long-form paragraphs. 

The mobile equivalent of Ctrl+Z 

In a nutshell, Universal Undo: Recover Text aims to replicate Windows’ undo feature, but specifically for text. It offers multiple usage methods, including shaking your device, swiping from the edge of your screen, and floating controls. You can essentially use it with any form of text, short or long, and it even provides a timeline feature for browsing through older text. 

If you’re worried about privacy, all your data is stored on-device, and you can also create a blacklist to exempt certain apps from being tracked for any text. Sensitive fields like passwords and usernames are also excluded. On a side note, while it boasts broad compatibility with a lot of applications, some are not supported, so keep that in mind while testing it out. 

Simply a must-have 

To sum up, Universal Undo: Recover Text is one of those apps that you should have handy when the need arises. It works with different apps and can help if you accidentally lose or delete a string of text. You can also have it set up in different ways to suit your preference. Suffice it to say, it’s a must-have, so go and check it out now.
