GPTool

GPTool is a local browser extension for collecting ChatGPT projects and organizing them on your machine.

What It Does

• reads the ChatGPT project list from the page you already have open
• builds a local snapshot of your projects
• lets you sort, search, and organize those projects in the extension UI
• supports local folders, unfiled projects, and project-to-folder assignment
• supports backup export and restore import for local GPTool data
• supports brushed metal, high-contrast light, and high-contrast dark appearance modes
• provides a keyboard-friendly launcher and panel inside ChatGPT

How It Works

• the extension runs locally in your browser
• it reads the visible ChatGPT UI and related DOM state
• it may scroll the page to discover more projects when needed
• it stores the result in local browser storage
• it does not require a GPTool server or account

GPTool observes and organizes ChatGPT project data for you, but it does not act as a general automation agent for ChatGPT. It does not send messages, create projects, delete projects, or perform product-level actions on your behalf.

Product Limits

• GPTool is currently scoped to ChatGPT domains only.
• Folder nesting is limited to one level deep.
• A project belongs to one folder at most.
• Diagnostics and action logs are excluded from backup export unless you explicitly include them.

Security And Privacy

• all organization data stays on your machine in chrome.storage.local
• GPTool does not send your project list or organization data to a GPTool backend
• the extension is restricted to ChatGPT domains
• the extension permissions are limited to browser storage and tab control
• GPTool does not depend on bundled third-party runtime libraries
