ChatFolders — Organize Your AI Conversations

About

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.
