Claude
Organize Claude Conversations with Folders
Claude is an excellent thinking partner, but its sidebar quickly becomes an undifferentiated wall of conversations. There's no way to separate client work from personal projects, research threads from drafts, or archived experiments from active chats. Once you pass fifty or sixty conversations, anything older than last week might as well not exist. ChatPeer fixes this by injecting a folder tree directly into Claude's sidebar. You create folders, name them, and colour-code them, then file the conversation you're reading into one with a single click. Each folder also shows the smart tag ChatPeer worked out for its conversations, so you can see at a glance what a folder actually contains. The structure is stored in your browser's IndexedDB — no Claude account change, no server, nothing that could break when Anthropic ships an update.
Creating and naming folders
Click the '+' icon in the ChatPeer sidebar panel to create a new folder. Give it any name — project names, client names, topic areas. You can rename it at any time by double-clicking the label. Free accounts can create up to 2 folders; premium accounts have no limit.
Filing a conversation
Open the conversation you want to file, then click the '+' on the folder you want it in. That's the whole interaction — no dragging, no dialog, no picking the conversation out of a list. It's built around the way people actually sort chats: you read one, realise where it belongs, and file it there and then. The conversation stays in Claude's own list too — ChatPeer layers an organisational structure on top, it doesn't move or alter anything on Anthropic's side.
Collapsing the tree
Folders collapse and expand from the disclosure arrow, and the collapsed state is remembered between sessions. On a long list you can fold away everything except the project you're working on today.
Colour coding
Each folder has an optional colour swatch. Eight presets. A quick visual scan tells you which area of work you're looking at before you read a single label.
Removing conversations
Hover a conversation inside a folder and click the '×' to take it out again. Removing it from a folder never deletes the conversation from Claude — it only removes ChatPeer's association.
Questions
- Do folders change anything on Anthropic's servers?
- No. Folder structure is stored entirely in your browser's IndexedDB. Anthropic's systems see no change whatsoever.
- Will my folders survive if I clear browser data?
- No — IndexedDB is cleared when you clear site data. Don't use 'Clear browsing data' → 'Cookies and site data' for claude.ai if you want to keep your folder structure.
- Can I have folders on both Claude and ChatGPT?
- Yes. Claude and ChatGPT each have their own independent folder trees, and every paid plan covers both platforms.
- Can I drag conversations into folders?
- Not currently. You file the conversation you have open by clicking '+' on the target folder. Drag-and-drop is on the roadmap.
