  description

  Long ChatGPT conversations get messy fast. You scroll endlessly, lose track of what you asked, and forget where that one useful answer was.
  
  zNavi adds a lightweight sidebar to ChatGPT that automatically indexes every prompt you send — numbered, searchable, and one click away.
  
  WHY INSTALL zNavi?
  
  - Never lose your place again. Every prompt is listed in order — click to jump instantly.
  - Find anything fast. Real-time search filters your prompts as you type.
  - Track your references. When you quote a ChatGPT response in a follow-up prompt, zNavi detects it and shows the connection with a visual link — so you always know what you were responding to.
  - Stay focused. The collapsible sidebar stays out of your way until you need it.
  
  FEATURES
  
  - Automatic prompt indexing with sequential numbering
  - One-click jump with smooth scroll and highlight
  - Real-time search with match count
  - Quote detection — visual indicators when you reference a previous response
  - Collapsible sidebar (expand/collapse anytime)
  - Dark mode support (follows your system theme)
  - Customizable font size and behavior
  - Zero setup — works immediately on chatgpt.com
  
  zNavi is lightweight, privacy-friendly (no data leaves your browser), and does one thing well: keep your long conversations navigable.

  zNavi adds a smart sidebar to ChatGPT for navigation, reference tracking, and (new in v0.2) text excerpting.
