• No Cloud Sync: Your folders, tags, and notes are NOT sent to our servers.
• No Training: We do not read your conversations to train any AI models.
WHY DOES THE EXTENSION NEED PERMISSIONS?
We require access to aistudio.google.com and gemini.google.com solely to inject the enhanced sidebar interface and read chat titles for organization. We do not access your other browsing history.

- Everything about this is exceptional! Would really love to see this integrate with Gemini's new "Notebooks" feature, though besides that - this is everything I really wanted.
- Sine Waves
- I am always cautious about installing browser extensions for AI, but this one does it perfectly. I love that it is open-source and uses a local database so my folders and tags never leave my computer. It asks for minimal permissions and completely respects user privacy. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to organize Gemini without giving up their data!

- Really good extension. Have some problems. 1: Unable to delete actual selected chat. It only removes from the Extension only not from Gemini, if I exit from the extension, the chats still showed up. 2. Can't detect all the gems
- Vera Dixon
- Hello, this extension is excellent and loved by me. However, when using it in google ai studio, I find that it can't go and retrieve the content of the description part attached to the title, can this be fixed please?
- Md sAKIBUL hASAN
- It works really well, though it doesn't support Perplexity, ChatGPT, Claude, or Grok. However, hats off for the deep thinking feature. A requested feature: Gemini allows you to delete all chats, but there is no option to uncheck specific ones. Please add an option to multi-select and delete chats. Also, add an option to place new chats into a default folder. It doesn't show all the gems available.

- NOCauseEffect
- That's great, thanks a lot. It's recommended for everyone. I hope the developer of this excellent extension will also write an extension for the right sidebar, because it has many issues too—for example, when you refresh, the values revert to default.
