ChatGPT minimap
GPT Master adds a right-panel minimap to ChatGPT. Cycle the View chip through up to four outline levels (Prompts, H1–H3, H1–H2, H1), click any entry to jump there, and stay oriented in long conversations.
Updated
Cycle the View chip, click any entry to jump; the outline tracks your scroll.
Quick answer
The ChatGPT minimap is a clickable table of contents for your active conversation, in the right panel. It lists your prompts and, if you choose, the headings in ChatGPT's replies as clickable shortcuts, so you can jump to any message without scrolling. The View chip sets how detailed the outline is, and the outline follows along as you scroll.
Compared to the alternatives
Most heavy ChatGPT users invent a strategy for long threads. Each one breaks differently.
| Approach | Thread Overview | One-Click Navigation | Adjustable Zoom | Stays in ChatGPT | Tradeoff |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scroll the conversation | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✓ | Linear in thread length. Easy to overshoot the target message. |
| Use Ctrl+F to search for a phrase | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✓ | Only works if you remember the exact wording. Misses paraphrased content. |
| Break the conversation into smaller chats | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✓ | Loses the running context that made the thread worth continuing. |
| Use ChatGPT's built-in conversation search | ✗ | ✗ | ✗ | ✓ | Finds matching threads across your history, not a structural overview of the one you are in. |
| Bookmark a few messages | ✗ | ✓ | ✗ | ✓ | Useful for known anchors. Does not help when you need to see the whole structure. |
| GPT Master minimap | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Deeper levels need replies that use headings. The Prompts view works on every thread. |

What this looks like in practice
A product manager has been pushing a single planning conversation with ChatGPT past 300 messages: scope debates, spec drafts, edge cases, decisions, follow-ups. Reopening it to settle a question means scrolling for a minute before recognizing the right section. With the minimap set to the Prompts view, the entire thread shows as a vertical list of every user prompt sent. The PM clicks the prompt that started the rate-limit discussion, the page jumps directly to that exchange, and the answer is right there. The same thread that used to feel like an unmanageable wall reads like a table of contents.

GPT Master builds an outline of the open ChatGPT conversation in your browser: your prompts, plus the H1–H3 headings in ChatGPT's replies. It shows in the right panel, where the View chip switches between Prompts, H1–H3, H1–H2, and H1. In long chats, a filter box helps you narrow the list. Click any entry to jump to that message.
Yes, OpenAI announced a built-in table of contents, but it is rolling out and not on every account yet. GPT Master gives you an outline right now that lets you click to jump to any message and highlights your place as you scroll. You also get four outline levels, plus a filter box in long chats.
Yes. As you scroll the conversation, the minimap highlights the entry you are reading, so you always know where you are in the thread.
No. The minimap reads the conversation directly from the ChatGPT page in your browser. Nothing about the messages is sent to a GPT Master server to render the overview.
The minimap is built to stay light: it reads the page in your browser and refreshes shortly after new messages arrive. Very long chats can get slow in ChatGPT itself. If a conversation ever feels sluggish, you can hide the panel at any time.
Yes. The minimap renders anywhere ChatGPT loads a conversation: standard chats, Projects, and Custom GPTs. The same View and filter controls apply on every surface.
