ChatGPT
Organize ChatGPT Conversations with Folders
ChatGPT has custom GPTs, memory, and projects — but projects are tied to specific GPT instances, not to your conversation history as a whole. The main conversation list has no folders. Once you accumulate more than a few weeks of chats, the only way to find something is to remember part of the title and scroll until you spot it. ChatPeer adds a folder tree to ChatGPT's sidebar. Create folders for whatever you like — client, project, topic, or timeframe — and file the conversation you're reading into one with a single click. Smart tags label each conversation automatically alongside the folder you filed it under. The folder structure lives in your browser's IndexedDB and doesn't require any change to your OpenAI account.
Creating folders in ChatGPT
The ChatPeer panel appears above ChatGPT's conversation history. Click '+' to create a folder. Name it, optionally assign a colour, and it's ready. Folders are specific to ChatGPT — Claude folders are tracked separately, even if you have licenses for both platforms.
Assigning conversations to folders
Open a conversation, then click the '+' on the ChatPeer folder you want it in. The conversation still appears in ChatGPT's own list — ChatPeer overlays an organisational layer without touching OpenAI's data. Click the '×' beside a filed conversation to remove it from the folder again.
Multi-select and bulk actions
Toggle multi-select in the ChatPeer panel header to pick several conversations at once, then remove them from their folders, delete them, or export the lot as a ZIP. Bulk export is a premium feature; multi-select and bulk remove are free.
Shared structure across sessions
Because the folder structure is in IndexedDB tied to chatgpt.com, it persists across browser sessions. Close the tab, come back tomorrow, and your folders are exactly as you left them.
Questions
- Are ChatGPT folders different from Claude folders?
- Yes. Each platform has its own folder tree, kept separately so a work folder on ChatGPT doesn't clutter your Claude sidebar. Every paid plan — Monthly, Lifetime, or All Access — unlocks both trees.
- Do ChatGPT folders affect OpenAI's 'Projects' feature?
- No. ChatPeer's folders are completely independent of OpenAI's Projects. They coexist without conflict.
- What happens to my folders if I uninstall ChatPeer?
- The folder data remains in your browser's IndexedDB until you clear site data for chatgpt.com. Reinstalling ChatPeer will find it again. Uninstalling doesn't delete local storage.
