ChatFolders — Organize Your AI Conversations

ChatGPT and Claude are powerful tools -- but their sidebars were not built for organization. The more you use them, the harder it gets to find anything. ChatFolders fixes that. It adds a clean organizational layer directly inside ChatGPT and Claude, giving you folders, color-coded tags, pinned conversations, private notes, instant search, and Markdown export -- all without leaving the page. No account required. No data leaves your browser. Works immediately after install. ----- KEY FEATURES ----- FOLDERS Create folders to group conversations by project, client, topic, or workflow Drag and drop conversations between folders Rename or delete folders at any time -- conversations move to Unfiled, never lost Collapsible folder sections keep your sidebar clean COLOR-CODED TAGS 6 built-in tags: Urgent, In Progress, Review, Done, Reference, Ideas Assign tags to any conversation with one click Filter your entire conversation list by tag Rename tags to match your own workflow Visual tag dots appear inline so you can scan status at a glance PINNED CONVERSATIONS Pin important conversations to the top of your list Pinned section stays visible above all folders One-click pin and unpin PRIVATE NOTES Attach a text note to any conversation Use notes for context, reminders, or follow-up actions Note indicator appears on conversations that have one Hover to preview, click to edit AUTO-TAG RULES Set keyword-based rules that automatically tag conversations Example: any conversation with "budget" in the title gets tagged "Urgent" Rules run every time the sidebar refreshes -- no manual work needed Create as many rules as you want INSTANT SEARCH Search across all conversation titles in real time Matching text is highlighted for quick scanning Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+F (Cmd+Shift+F on Mac) to jump straight to search Press Escape to clear and return to browsing EXPORT TO MARKDOWN Export any conversation as a clean Markdown (.md) file Preserves message structure, code blocks, formatting, and author roles Right-click context menu: "ChatFolders: Export as Markdown" Export button available on every conversation in the panel FULL DATA BACKUP Export all your ChatFolders data (folders, tags, assignments, notes) as JSON Import a backup to restore or transfer your setup Your organization is never locked in ----- PLATFORM SUPPORT ----- Works on: ChatGPT (chatgpt.com and chat.openai.com) Claude (claude.ai) Enable or disable each platform independently from the popup settings. ----- DESIGN ----- Dark theme that matches ChatGPT and Claude native UI Light theme available in settings Injected directly into the sidebar -- no separate window or tab Panel collapses to a single-line header when you need more space Responsive, lightweight, and fast ----- KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS ----- Ctrl+Shift+F / Cmd+Shift+F -- Focus search Escape -- Clear search and return to browsing ----- PRIVACY AND DATA ----- ChatFolders stores everything locally in your browser using Chrome's built-in storage API.
