Feature Request

Summary

Two related UX improvements for the Claude Code sidebar chat history:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
