Why it exists

ChatGPT is powerful. Long conversations are messy.

✏️

Notes per conversation

Capture context, decisions, loose ideas and next steps directly next to the conversation where they belong.

💬

Prompt drafts

Prepare prompts before sending them. Dictate, copy, and keep a simple record of what you already used.

📊

Follow-up dashboard

Mark conversations as unfinished and return to them later from a local dashboard.

Local-first

Your notes stay in your browser.

ChatMargin is designed to be useful without accounts, servers or hidden data collection.

  • Notes and prompt drafts are stored locally in your browser extension storage.
  • There is no ChatMargin account and no ChatMargin server in the beta.
  • We do not sell user data.
  • Feedback is only sent when you deliberately email us.
  • See the Privacy Policy for the full wording.
