Getting Started
What is GPT Master?
GPT Master is a Chrome extension that adds folders, search, timestamps, minimap navigation, conversation notes, and follow-up prompts to ChatGPT. It is built for people managing 20 to 50+ active conversations who need their work organized and findable inside chatgpt.com.
Do I need a ChatGPT Plus subscription?
No. GPT Master works with every ChatGPT tier: Free, Plus, Team, and Enterprise.
How do I install GPT Master?
Install from the Chrome Web Store, open chatgpt.com, and the sidebar appears automatically. Setup takes under 30 seconds.
Which browsers are supported?
Chrome and Chromium-based browsers including Edge, Brave, Arc, and Opera. Firefox is not yet supported but is planned.
Does GPT Master work on mobile?
Not yet. Chrome extensions do not run on mobile browsers. GPT Master is desktop only for now.
Does it work with ChatGPT Plus features like GPTs and image generation?
Yes. GPT Master layers on top of ChatGPT's existing interface without interfering with Plus features like GPTs, image generation, or voice mode.
How long does setup take?
Under 30 seconds. Install the extension, open chatgpt.com, and start organizing.
Will GPT Master slow down ChatGPT?
No measurable impact. The extension runs lightweight DOM observers and does not modify ChatGPT's network requests.
Features
How do folders work?
Create folders in the sidebar, then drag conversations into them. GPT Master supports nested sub-folders and color coding so you can organize by project, topic, or priority.
What does starring a conversation do?
Starred conversations appear at the top of the sidebar for one-click access. Use stars for threads you revisit daily.
How does search work?
Search across conversation titles and message content. Results appear instantly in the sidebar. This goes beyond ChatGPT's native title-only search.
What are timestamps?
GPT Master adds visible timestamps to every message so you can see exactly when each was sent. This helps you tell similar conversations apart and track when work happened.
What is the minimap?
A scrollable bird's-eye view of your entire conversation. Click any point to jump there instantly. It is especially useful for long threads with 50+ messages.
How do follow-up suggestions work?
After each ChatGPT response, GPT Master shows suggested next prompts based on the conversation context. Click one to continue the thread without stopping to think of the next question.
What are conversation notes?
A Pro feature. Add private notes to any conversation so future you knows why the thread matters or what to do next.
Is there a command palette?
Yes. Press Ctrl+K (or Cmd+K on Mac) to access quick actions: search conversations, jump to folders, or navigate to starred threads.
Can I collapse sidebar sections?
Yes. Collapse Projects, GPTs, Images, Apps, and other native ChatGPT sections to reduce clutter and focus on your own folders.
Can I export my conversations?
Not currently. GPT Master focuses on organizing and navigating conversations within ChatGPT rather than exporting them.
Free vs Pro
What is included in the free tier?
25 folders, 15 starred conversations, 3 follow-up suggestions per day, timestamps, minimap, search, command palette, and section collapsing. No account required.
What does Pro add?
Unlimited folders and stars, unlimited follow-up suggestions, conversation notes, and priority support.
How much does Pro cost?
$29 one-time purchase. No subscription, no renewals, no annual fees.
What happens to my folders if I uninstall?
Your folder structure is stored in your browser using Chrome's storage APIs. If you reinstall on the same browser profile, your data should be restored.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes. Contact support within 14 days of purchase for a full refund, no questions asked.
Privacy & Data
Where is my data stored?
Core organization data (folders, stars, settings) is stored locally in your browser using Chrome's storage APIs. No external servers store your folder structure.
Does GPT Master read my conversations?
The extension accesses conversation titles and metadata for organization features. Follow-up suggestions (Pro) analyze the most recent response to generate prompts. No conversation data is stored on external servers for core organization features.
What does local-first mean?
Your folder structure, stars, and settings live in your browser, not on our servers. You own your data. No account is needed to use core features.
What happens to my data if I uninstall?
Chrome clears extension storage on uninstall. Reinstalling on the same browser profile should restore data from Chrome's sync storage if sync is enabled.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Core organization features work without an account. A Pro purchase requires an email for license delivery only.
Is my ChatGPT password or API key accessed?
No. GPT Master never asks for or accesses your OpenAI credentials.
Comparisons
How is GPT Master different from Superpower ChatGPT?
GPT Master focuses on organization: folders, search, timestamps, and minimap. Superpower is a broader utility bundle with prompt management, image tools, and more. GPT Master uses one-time pricing ($29) while Superpower charges a monthly or annual subscription.
Why not just use ChatGPT Projects?
Projects work for top-level grouping but do not support sub-folders, content search across conversations, visible timestamps, or minimap navigation. GPT Master adds those missing layers.
Can I use GPT Master with other ChatGPT extensions?
Generally yes, though conflicts are possible if another extension modifies the same parts of the ChatGPT interface. Disable the other extension temporarily if you see issues.
Is GPT Master better than organizing conversations manually?
If you have fewer than 20 conversations, manual naming and Projects work fine. Beyond that, folders, search, and stars save real time every day.
Which ChatGPT organizer extension is fastest?
GPT Master is designed for speed. Lightweight DOM observation, no heavy network calls, and instant sidebar rendering.
Troubleshooting
My folders are not saving. What should I do?
Check that the extension is enabled in chrome://extensions. Try refreshing chatgpt.com. If the issue persists, clear the extension's storage and recreate your folders.
Search is not finding my conversations.
Search indexes conversations visible in the sidebar. Try scrolling down in ChatGPT to load more conversations first, then search again.
Follow-up suggestions are not appearing.
Check that follow-ups are enabled in GPT Master settings. Free users get 3 per day. Follow-ups require a completed ChatGPT response (not one that is still streaming).
The sidebar is not injecting.
Refresh chatgpt.com. If the sidebar still does not appear, disable and re-enable the extension in chrome://extensions, then reload the page.
GPT Master conflicts with another extension.
Disable the other extension temporarily. If GPT Master works on its own, the conflict is confirmed. Report the conflicting extension to support so we can investigate.
