Feature Request: Default “Temporary Chat” Option in macOS App

ChatGPT Feature requests
1

I’m a regular user of the ChatGPT macOS app and appreciate the features and usability it offers. However, I often prefer to use “Temporary Chat” mode to avoid saving conversations, and I find it inconvenient to manually enable this setting for each new chat.

Would it be possible to add an option to set “Temporary Chat” as the default mode for all new conversations? Alternatively, having the app remember the last used setting (as seen in the Edge browser) would be a great improvement.

This enhancement would streamline the user experience for those of us who prefer temporary chats by default and add more flexibility in managing conversation history.

Thank you for considering this request.

This feature would be great!
In browsers, we can use query parameters like https://chatgpt.com/?model=gpt-4o&temporary-chat=true but macOS App has the “Chat Bar”, which is much powerful than website.

Definitely agree! Having to delete the plethora of inane questions I ask every month gets cumbersome. ^^’

Needs more attention! The chat history becomes polluted with simple question-answer chats you don’t want to retain making it impossible to find the more important chats.
