hi everyone, solo dev here 👋 after ~20 years in software this is my first chrome extension — and i built it out of my own frustration. i run everything through chatgpt/claude/gemini, and a few months in i had hundreds of chats with genuinely good answers buried in them. i kept re-asking things i'd already solved. chat history is a feed; i wanted a library. so foldif adds folders, persistent highlights, margin notes and a "book builder" that compiles months of highlights into an exportable pdf/html book. it also auto-catches the TODOs hiding in AI responses before they vanish into scroll history. everything is local-first — your conversations never touch my servers. no api key, no signup wall, free core features. i'm here all day — happy to answer anything, and brutal feedback is genuinely welcome. that's how the product got this far.
good product and very helpful
.
Thanks Mark, appreciate it a lot. Let me know if anything feels missing once you dig in.
The highlighting feature was the first thing that caught my attention. Valuable insights from AI conversations often get buried in hundreds of messages, and being able to highlight key sections and revisit them later feels incredibly useful. For anyone using AI extensively for research, learning, or content creation, this can be a real productivity booster. The Book Builder is also a very compelling idea. Turning conversations into structured, shareable outputs has a lot of potential. One direction I’d love to see is expanding it with templates for different use cases, such as research reports, study notes, project documentation, or content drafts. Features like automatic chapter generation, multiple summary levels, collaborative editing, and integrations with platforms like Notion or Google Docs could make it even more powerful. I just discovered Foldi today, but it already feels like it’s addressing a real problem for heavy AI users. Looking forward to seeing how the product evolves and what new features the team brings next.
.
This genuinely made my day, thank you for taking the time. You nailed exactly why I built the highlighting first, that "buried in hundreds of messages" problem is the whole reason Foldif exists. The Book Builder templates idea is spot on. Research reports and study notes are already on my list, and your point about multiple summary levels is something I hadn't framed that way before, going to sit with it. Notion/Docs export is the integration people ask for most, so that's coming. Really appreciate you digging in on day one. Stuff like this is what keeps me building.
The book builder feature is genuinely clever — being able to compile months of AI conversations into an exportable document solves a real pain point. I use Claude daily for research and my history gets buried fast. One question: does Foldif support nested folder structures, or is it flat organization? Nested folders would be a game-changer for managing long-term projects across different topics.
.
Thanks for the kind words on Book Builder, that one means a lot since it was the feature I struggled with the most to get right. To answer your question: yes, Foldif supports nested folders. You can build proper hierarchies, so managing long-term projects across different topics works exactly the way you described. Basic stuff like folders and pinning stays free, no paywall on the organization layer. A couple of other things you might find useful since you're a daily Claude user. Highlights get saved straight into your notes, so anything you mark while reading is captured automatically. Foldif also auto-detects TODOs inside your conversations and pulls them into todo lists, so action items don't get buried with the rest of the chat. And there's automatic redaction for sensitive stuff like emails and personal info, so you can export or share without leaking anything by accident. Honestly your use case, research buried fast and long-term projects, is pretty much the exact reason I built this. Let me know if you try it.
good product and very helpful
Builder of AI products. I run AIDirHub.com — a curated directory of 325+ AI tools across 27 categories.
This solves a real frustration — I've had dozens of useful AI conversations buried in scroll history with no way to find them again. The folder + highlight approach makes a lot of sense. The margin notes feature is particularly interesting; being able to annotate what was useful about a specific response rather than just saving the whole chat is a meaningful difference. Does it support export to markdown or PDF for offline reference?
.
Thanks, that buried-conversation problem is exactly what got me building this in the first place. On export, yeah, PDF is there. You can also pull things out as TXT, a shareable link, or even formatted as a WhatsApp message if you want to send something to someone quickly. And it works at both levels, you can export just a single response or the whole conversation, depending on whether you want one useful answer or the full thread for offline reference.
upvoting this! i like the style
it looks nice! good work
Nice work. Good product
Love tech
I like foldif, i like work. Very nice
I'm a long-time programmer and start-up community member.
Interesting, I get that you provide a service that spans multiple GPTs, but I'm not exactly sure what problem you solve. I say this only because I don't really find myself referencing old chats too often unless they were very recent. I may not be the typical user though.
.
Fair, and you might just not be the user for it, no problem. The way I'd frame it though: it's less about searching old chats and more about catching the good answers in the moment, you highlight a line, note why it mattered, file it, so it never becomes buried scroll in the first place. The cross-AI part matters more if you bounce between ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini. If you live in one tool and mostly need recent stuff, you probably won't feel the pain, and that's fair.
Nice work. Good product

This is something that I would definitely use as a heavy user of AI tools.
.
That's exactly who I built it for, the heavy users feel the mess the most. If you do try it, I'd really want to hear where it holds up and where it doesn't for your workflow. That's the feedback that actually moves the product.

A good service blur function is useful for video demonstrations
.
Yeah, that's honestly one of the main use cases I had in mind. Funny thing, the blur idea first hit me because of a video, some kid was getting an award and showed their screen, and you could see from the GPT history that the homework was basically done there. If I remember right the award got pulled lol. So I kind of dedicate this feature to that kid. But yeah, for videos, online meetings and that kind of thing I really think it's gonna be useful.
I would definitely use this AI tools.
.
Appreciate that, means a lot. It's free to start so give it a shot whenever, and if you do, hit me with whatever feels off or missing. That kind of feedback is what's been shaping it.

Foldif is a genuinely useful idea for anyone working across multiple LLMs. Chat history is usually messy and hard to reuse, so turning conversations into structured folders with highlights and notes solves a real workflow problem.
.
You nailed the framing better than I usually do honestly. The messy-and-hard-to-reuse part is the whole reason this exists, history isn't really the problem, reuse is. Curious about one thing from your side: when you work across models, is it more about carrying context between them, or pulling old answers back out later? I keep going back and forth on which one to lean into.
Developing since 14 for 19 years now, working on honest projects.
Seems very useful for academic learning!
.
Yeah, students end up being some of the most natural users. When you're learning something you ask a lot of follow-ups, and the good explanations get buried fast. Being able to highlight the version that finally made sense and keep it in one place means you're not re-asking the same thing three weeks later. Glad it reads that way to you.
