How to recover deleted or lost Keynote files on Mac

“OK, basically I worked on a keynote file for 5 hours, midnight till 5 am, and either was too overconfident with my mac or just too tired to realize that I had not saved. When I finally did decide to save, the application unexpectedly quit and I lost everything…..everything that I have to do again before 3 this afternoon.

I find it hard to believe that my keynote does not have an autorecover file creation feature but this seems to be the case. I am assuming the file is just sent to ram and once the app quit, the ram emptied.

I just need to know if the app creates any kind of cache or temp files, or if the disk writing is able to have any recovery. *ANY* help, no matter how small will be greatly appreciated.”

While, this question is so long, however, when you search on the Internet, you may find it that, many people may face the same or similar problem, some may deleted their Keynote files by accident, some may lost Keynote files when there is a crash. Then, how can we do, when it happened? Is there any way to recover deleted or lost Keynote files on Mac?
