Feature Request
Summary
Two related UX improvements for the Claude Code sidebar chat history:
- Folder / project-based grouping — ability to organize chats into folders or group them by project/directory, so users working across multiple codebases can quickly find relevant sessions.
- Manual chat renaming — ability to rename a chat from its auto-generated title to a custom name, making it easier to identify specific sessions.
Current behavior
- Chats appear in a flat chronological list with auto-generated titles based on the first message.
- There is no way to rename, group, or organize them.
Desired behavior
- Users can rename any chat from the sidebar.
- Users can create folders or project-based groups to organize chats (e.g., auto-group by the working directory the session was started from).
Why this matters
Developers often context-switch between multiple projects and accumulate many sessions quickly. Without organization, finding a previous session requires scrolling through a long undifferentiated list.
