The previous layout worked much better. The current layout feels cluttered and makes organizing my chats frustrating.

After I move a chat into a Project, it still appears in Recent. This makes it difficult to distinguish conversations I’ve already organized from those that still need attention.

More importantly, I’m unsure what I can safely delete when cleaning up Recent. I worry about accidentally deleting an important conversation that belongs to a Project.

Please add a Settings toggle: “Hide Project chats in Recent.”

When enabled, chats assigned to a Project should appear only within that Project, leaving Recent for unfiled conversations.

I want to organize my chats once and trust that organization—not manage the same conversations in two places.

I really need this organization to be done. It makes everything look cramped right now
