Navthread

About

If you've ever had a long conversation with ChatGPT, 
Claude, or Gemini — the kind where you're 30 messages 
deep into a coding session or a research rabbit hole — 
you know the pain. You remember something useful from 
earlier in the chat but now you're stuck scrolling 
through walls of text trying to find it.

That's exactly why I built Navthread.

It adds a minimal floating panel to the right edge of 
your screen that shows every message in the conversation 
as a small tick mark. Hover over it and a clean popover 
appears with a scrollable list of all your messages — 
color coded so you can tell at a glance which ones are 
yours and which are the AI's. Click any message and it 
jumps you there instantly.

No sidebar taking up half your screen. No toolbar 
buttons to remember. Just a quiet little strip on the 
right edge that stays out of your way until you need it.

Works on ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Picks up new 
messages automatically as the conversation grows. 
Tracks which message you're currently reading as you 
scroll so you always know where you are.

Nothing is collected. No data leaves your browser. 
No account needed. No tracking. Just a navigation 
tool that does one thing and does it well.

Navthread is open source. If you want to see how it 
works, contribute, or report a bug — the GitHub repo
