NavGPT Release

Finding myself endlessly scrolling to understand the context of conversations before preparing my next prompt in ChatGPT, I decided to create a tool to help.

Install NavGPT from the Chrome Web Store

NavGPT is a lightweight sidepanel which sits unobtrusively on the right-hand-side of the UI and displays a list of the conversation's prompts and their branches, along with actions like copying and editing- making it easier for you to understand, navigate and remix the conversation to create better prompts, faster.

I took extra time and care to make NavGPT look and feel native to ChatGPT, syncing theme changes and matching styling.

Features include:

  • Prompt history sidebar showing all user prompts in the current conversation

  • One-click navigation to jump directly to any prompt

  • Copy prompts to your clipboard for reuse or reference

  • Edit navigation, which jumps to a prompt and opens it for editing

  • Version controls for navigating between edited prompt versions

  • Code detection badges, including language hints when code is present

  • Collapsible layout with a compact mini-mode for quick navigation

  • Theme syncing

Keyboard shortcuts are included for fast prompt navigation:

  • Alt + ↑ Jump to the previous prompt

  • Alt + ↓ Jump to the next prompt

Currently NavGPT only runs on ChatGPT pages:

  • chatgpt.com/*

Limitations: NavGPT builds its prompt list by reading the page content directly in your browser. If ChatGPT’s interface changes, some features (such as prompt detection, edit buttons, or version controls) may require updates.

If you have any feedback or would like to share your thoughts, I’d love to hear from you.
