GPT Desk is a free, local-first Chrome extension for people who use ChatGPT heavily and are tired of the same problems: a messy sidebar, no clean way to save exact messages, too much scrolling inside long chats, and context that gets weaker as threads get older and longer. It works directly inside ChatGPT. No sign-up. No separate app. Your data stays local in the browser. --- ## Features ### 1. Folders and Stars Clean up the ChatGPT sidebar by grouping conversations into folders and starring the ones you come back to often. It becomes much easier to treat ChatGPT like a real workspace instead of a random pile of chats. ### 2. Message Bookmarks Bookmark the exact prompt, answer, or decision you want to return to later. Instead of re-scrolling an entire thread, jump straight to the message that matters. ### 3. Notes on Important Messages Add a quick note to any important message. Save reminders, research takeaways, next actions, or why that answer was worth keeping. ### 4. Thread Map Thread Map helps you scan a long conversation quickly. See the main sections of a chat, spot important points faster, and jump where you need without dragging the scroll bar through hundreds of messages. ### 5. Context Compact When a conversation gets too long and ChatGPT starts losing the thread, create a compact Markdown context file from the full chat. Copy it into a fresh conversation and keep moving with cleaner context. ### 6. Private by Default Folders, bookmarks, notes, and handoffs stay on your machine. No extra account. No forced sync. No sending your chat data to another service. --- ## How it Works **Step 01 — Clean up the chats** Move important conversations into folders, star the threads you keep returning to, and turn the sidebar from a messy list into something you can navigate fast. **Step 02 — Context Compact** When a conversation gets too long, click Context so GPT Desk reads the whole thread and creates a compact Markdown handoff you can paste into a fresh chat. **Step 03 — Thread Map, Bookmarks and Notes** Scan long chats with Thread Map, jump back to saved answers with bookmarks, and leave notes on important messages so the next time you open the thread, the context is still obvious. --- ## For ChatGPT users frustrated by lost context and messy sidebar chats > "My ChatGPT sidebar used to be chaos. Folders and stars made it usable again, and now I can actually find the chats I need." > — **Sarah L.**, Product Designer ★★★★★ > "When a research thread gets long, Thread Map, bookmarks, and notes stop me from losing the answer I needed three screens ago." > — **Marcus R.**, Software Engineer ★★★★★ > "Context Compact is what I use when ChatGPT starts losing the thread. I carry the important context into a fresh chat instead of fighting a bloated one." > — **Thanh K.**, Academic Researcher ★★★★★ --- ## Pricing | Plan | Price | What's included | |------|-------|-----------------| | **Free** | $0 / month | Folders and stars, message bookmarks and notes, Thread Map, Context Compact export to Markdown, local-first storage | | **Pro** *(coming soon)* | TBA | Everything in Free + cloud sync, richer exports, workflow utilities, priority support | No credit card.

Yes. It runs directly inside the ChatGPT interface, so you keep using the product you already know while getting a cleaner sidebar and better navigation. ### How does Context Compact help with lost context? When a thread gets too long, GPT Desk creates a compact Markdown handoff from the conversation so you can start a fresh chat with the important context carried forward. ### What is Thread Map actually for? Thread Map gives you a quick scan of a long chat so you can spot major sections and jump to the part you need without manually scrolling through everything. ### Can I save exact messages, not just whole chats? Yes. You can bookmark important messages and attach notes, which makes it much easier to reuse ideas across different chat sessions. ### Is my chat data sent anywhere? No. GPT Desk is local-first. Your folders, bookmarks, notes, and compacted context stay on your machine. ### Do I need an account or setup flow? No. Install the extension, reload ChatGPT, and start organizing immediately. --- ## Install [Add GPT Desk to Chrome - Free ->](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/gptdesk-for-chatgpt-compa/dickbkongblbcfejpgecbjgkiboeajmj) --- ## Links - Website: https://gptdesk.space/ - Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/gptdesk-for-chatgpt-compa/dickbkongblbcfejpgecbjgkiboeajmj - Privacy policy: https://gptdesk.space/privacy.html - Terms of service: https://gptdesk.space/terms.html - llms.txt: https://gptdesk.space/llms.txt --- *© 2026 GPT Desk.
