About Sidely - ChatGPT Sidebar
Sidely is your personal AI assistant inside Chrome. Stop switching tabs or losing focus. This lightweight chatgpt sidebar extension brings ChatGPT directly into your browser’s sidebar - always one click away.
🧩 What it does
Sidely embeds the official ChatGPT interface (chatgpt.com) into the Chrome sidebar (side panel).
You can chat, brainstorm, summarize text, translate, or generate ideas - all without leaving the page you’re on. Unlike many tools, it works with your existing ChatGPT session, so you do not need extra accounts or third-party logins.
⚙️ Key features
- Instant access to ChatGPT from any tab via the Chrome sidebar (side panel)
- Uses the official ChatGPT UI inside the sidebar
- Works with your current ChatGPT session - no registration and no third-party logins
- Fast and lightweight - built for speed and minimal resource use
- Theme control: light, dark, or auto
- Extension UI languages: en, zh, es, hi, fr, pt, ru, de, it, ja
- Sidebar layout control for ChatGPT navigation: set default collapsed or expanded state for Projects, Your chats, and Group chats
- "Update chats" button to refresh the sidebar and load the latest chats
- Reliable code copying for code blocks
- Settings sync across devices via Chrome Sync (chrome.storage.sync)
💡 Why use Sidely?
Whether you’re writing emails, coding, researching, or learning something new - Sidely saves you time. You do not need to keep chatgpt.com in a separate tab or constantly copy-paste back and forth. It’s a focused, distraction-free productivity tool for anyone using ChatGPT regularly. Sidely makes ChatGPT feel like a built-in part of Chrome.
🔒 Privacy-first design
Your ChatGPT session runs directly inside the Chrome sidebar through an embedded interface. Sidely does not collect, store, or transmit your conversations or credentials. Authentication stays between you and OpenAI. Extension settings (like language, theme, and sidebar layout) are stored in Chrome storage and can sync via Chrome Sync.
