Feature Request: Bookmarks & Custom Folders for Long-Term Chats
I think ChatGPT would benefit enormously from having bookmarks for individual messages and custom folders for chats.
As someone who uses ChatGPT for long-running conversations, I often have to scroll through a huge amount of messages to find something I remember discussing weeks or even months ago. It would be incredibly useful to be able to save specific messages as bookmarks and jump directly back to them later.
Message bookmarks
Users could bookmark individual messages and optionally give them a name, for example:
- “Korean – Particles”
- “Painting feedback”
- “Important realization”
- “Room idea”
- “Nightly thoughts – August 25”
A small bookmark panel could then show all saved messages and take the user directly to that point in the conversation.
Custom chat folders
It would also be great to organize conversations into personal folders, for example:
-
Learning
-
Creative
-
Private
-
Nightly Thoughts
-
Ideas
This would be especially useful for people who use ChatGPT continuously over months or years.
I think features like these could turn ChatGPT into more than a place for individual questions. It could become a personal knowledge archive, learning companion, creative workspace, or even a digital journal.
I sometimes have conversations that I would genuinely like to keep as part of my personal journal, but finding a specific moment again months later can be difficult. Being able to bookmark and organize those conversations would make long-term use much more meaningful.
Ideally, I would love to see a combination of:
Message bookmarks +
custom chat folders +
better navigation/search within long conversations
I think this could make a huge difference for anyone who treats ChatGPT as an ongoing space rather than just a place to ask one-off questions.
