Why it matters

For people whose good ChatGPT or Claude threads disappear into a long sidebar and whose best prompts live in another notes app. It keeps folders and reusable prompts next to the chat without requiring an account on the free plan.

Highlights

Save the current chat into nested folders (up to 8 levels) with your own title and note; search by title or note and filter by site.
Prompt library with {{variables}}, choices and dates, live preview, and draft-safe insert; type // in the chat box to pull up a prompt without sending a message.
Quote cards keep only selected lines; export JSON, Markdown or an encrypted backup with merge-checked restore.
Free: no sign-in, 5 folders and 20 prompts, data in Chrome local storage. Pro is US$7.99/mo or US$79.99/yr (Google sign-in, optional cloud sync on up to 3 devices, unlimited folders/prompts). Local Lifetime is US$300 one-time on one device without cloud sync.
Chrome Web Store listing (v0.2.3, updated Nov 4, 2026) is offered by cyc / Cyc Soft; payments via Paddle.

Taken from the project's own README, docs or launch page. Claims about speed or accuracy are the maker's unless stated otherwise.

Try it if: You live in ChatGPT or Claude all day and want folders plus reusable prompt templates without creating another account first.

Worth knowing: Store privacy labels list personally identifiable information, web history and website content even though the copy stresses local-first storage. Cloud sync is opt-in on Pro. Site support beyond ChatGPT includes experimental listings.
