Claude Desktop: Add right-click rename and favorites for sidebar conversations

Feature Request

Problem

The Claude Desktop application sidebar displays all past conversations with auto-generated titles. There is currently no way to:

1. Rename a conversation from the sidebar
2. Mark a conversation as a favorite (pin/bookmark) for quick access

This makes it very difficult to find and return to important conversations, especially when you have dozens of sessions with generic auto-generated names like "Initial setup and greeting" or "General coding session."

Proposed Solution

1. Right-Click → Rename

• Right-clicking on any conversation in the sidebar should open a context menu with a "Rename" option.
• Selecting "Rename" should make the conversation title editable inline (or open a small input dialog).
• The custom name should persist across sessions and app restarts.
• The renamed title should be displayed instead of the auto-generated one.

2. Favorites / Pin to Top

• The right-click context menu should also include an "Add to Favorites" (or "Pin") option.
• Favorited/pinned conversations should appear in a dedicated "Favorites" section at the top of the sidebar, always visible above the chronological list.
• A simple star icon (★) or pin icon next to the conversation title would indicate favorited status.
• Users should be able to unfavorite/unpin from the same right-click menu.

Why This Matters

• Users working on multiple ongoing projects need to switch between conversations frequently.
• Without rename or favorites, the only way to find a past conversation is scrolling through a long list of auto-generated titles and guessing which one is which.
• This is a basic UX feature that exists in virtually every chat application (Slack, Teams, ChatGPT, etc.).

Current Workaround

There is no effective workaround in the Claude Desktop app. The CLI version has a /rename command, but it does not sync with the Desktop sidebar.

Environment

• Claude Desktop application (standalone app)
• All platforms (Windows, macOS)
