Sidebar for ChatGPT — Free Access
Fast, unobtrusive ChatGPT in your browser sidebar. Instant AI assistant for writing, coding, summarizing, research and voice chat — free and privacy-conscious.
QUICK OVERVIEW
Sidebar for ChatGPT integrates a full ChatGPT interface directly into a collapsible browser sidebar. Open it with one click, Ctrl + Space, or the right-click menu to draft emails, summarize articles, debug code, generate ideas, or speak to the assistant hands-free. Designed for speed, low friction, and maximum productivity.
HIGHLIGHTED FEATURES
- Instant ChatGPT sidebar in Chrome — fast access to ChatGPT, AI assistant, and GPT models (GPT-5 / GPT-4o support shown when available on your account).
- All-in-one AI writing assistant — create, edit, rewrite, and proofread text (emails, blog posts, social captions).
- Smart summarizer & research helper — summarize long articles, web pages, and documents without leaving the tab.
- Developer/code helper — explain code, generate snippets, suggest refactors, and assist with debugging.
- Voice input & voice chat — enable microphone access for hands-free conversations and dictation.
- Keyboard shortcut & context menu — open/close the sidebar instantly (Ctrl + Space) or via right-click.
- Lightweight, non-intrusive UI — stays out of your way while giving powerful AI features.
- Free to use — no subscription, no hidden fees.
- Privacy-first & minimal permissions — requests only what’s necessary (sidebar management, optional mic access). No API keys stored.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Install the extension and open the sidebar.
2. Sign in to your ChatGPT/OpenAI account in the ChatGPT/OpenAI website.
3. Select the ChatGPT model available on your account; responses are served through ChatGPT’s web service while the extension provides the convenient sidebar interface.

Latest reviews
- (2025-09-03) Alejo Sanchez: Cool
- (2025-09-02) Pingo Go: Does exactly what it should. But please make it possible to hide the "Activate Voice Mode" and "Donate" bars. Or at least make them not flash purple.
- (2025-09-01) Thomas van Deursen: Good, biggest detractor is that this extension feels to need to force open a webpage with a changelog when it's updated.
- (2025-09-01) Jeffrey Glick: Simple and excellent at the same time. This Chat GPT sidebar is the best of the lot. Thank you, dev!
- (2025-09-01) Hiba Sati: love the new update. love to see font size options if it possible.
- (2025-08-30) Jonathan Mayer: Really nice sidebar, signed in automatically and integrates really well. Does exactly what you want! Only thing I'd like to change is the green icon for the toolbar. Thanks for making this!
- (2025-08-29) Aaron Miller: highly recommend

- (2025-08-20) Jasmine Smith: I just downloaded, and it looks promising, but I can't sign up/in because it's within an iframe. Fix this issue, where it doesn't have to be just a side bar and I can open the whole page, so I can sign up.
- (2025-08-14) 김홍렬: good!!
- (2025-08-05) Huệ Trang Triệu: free n so useful

- (2025-08-04) Jodine Theron: Such a great extension for productivity wherever you are on the web! With the latest update that includes voice, this is by far my favourite and most used extension! Great job to Ahmed!! Thank you! You should make the voice feature a one time payment of US$5!! That will help you raise the funds to buy a new laptop. https://ko-fi.com/sidebarforchatgptfreeaccess

- (2025-07-18) Alok Singh Chauhan: good
- (2025-07-18) Aqab Hussain: good app, bit delay in opening and be made as an app
- (2025-07-15) Anoushka Dangi: what is the shortcut for mac?
- (2025-07-10) Ian Evidente: Best chatGPT sidebar extension out there
- (2025-07-07) Noah Hayes: I am getting a bug when I try to login with google. It says "token() should not be called from within an iframe". This is preventing me from using the extension.
- (2025-07-06) Manish Raj Kamal: This is the extension where my search ends.
- (2025-07-02) Ian Evidente: So far, this is the only chatGPT sidebar extension I've found that allows for copying responses via the 📄 copy button (underneath the response).
- (2025-07-02) CJ K: Hey, this app is really great! Honestly, there's just one little thing that annoying me: when I type in my prompt, I have to hit Command + Enter on my Mac to send it. Most AI chats I use just let you hit the regular Enter key. It would be super helpful if that could be adjusted to just a single Enter press. Thanks so much for considering it!
- (2025-06-30) Yanan ZHANG: Fairly cool - but still very few customization like scaling or font setup is there.
- (2025-06-29) Lisa K: Really helps having this as a side bar rather than having to flit between tabs.
- (2025-06-22) Jodine Theron: Works great and is handy to have as a side bar in your browser. Would give it 5 stars if you were able to use voice dictation and voice mode. (I did allow microphone in extension settings, but I still get an error message "Enable mic access to dictate" when I try to use the voice features.)
- (2025-06-17) Vinay Kumar: okay
- (2025-06-15) Akhilesh Saxena: amazing got what i asked
- (2025-06-09) Nameless: Sidebad for ChatGPT is a game-changer — having ChatGPT right in my browser sidebar saves so much time. It’s fast, intuitive, and makes multitasking effortless. An absolute must-have!
- (2025-06-09) Darren Hue: Awesome, such simple app saves a lot of time.
- (2025-06-06) Khizar Jaffry: Exactly what I was looking for, I needed to find something just integrates with my gpt subscription and this is best of both worlds
- (2025-06-02) ELDHO: Very useful tool.
- (2025-05-31) Tian Mai: Very nice. May I ask, what if “Enter” is set to submit instead of creating a new line?
- (2025-05-30) Madje Tobi Marc'Avent Tchona: love it. not having to go back and forth between gpt and other applications is ridiculously helpful
- (2025-05-28) libra study: like the idea
