About ChatPilot – ChatGPT Bulk Delete, Archive & Timestamps
Overview
ChatPilot is a Chrome extension that adds bulk management tools to the chatgpt.com sidebar. It puts checkboxes on every thread and a floating action bar on the page, so users delete or archive many conversations in a single run instead of working through one menu at a time.
The extension also adds message timestamps and quick navigation inside conversations, ships its interface in 55 languages, and follows the page's light or dark theme. It runs locally in the browser: it does not read, collect, store or send chat content, and Google sign-in serves only to identify the account. ChatPilot is an independent project with no connection to OpenAI.
Key Benefits
- Delete a long backlog of old ChatGPT threads in one run with Delete Selected instead of opening one menu at a time.
- Archive selected threads to clear the sidebar while keeping conversations you may want later.
- Pick a whole range with Shift-click or grab every thread with a single select-all button.
- Watch a progress bar count how many items are done out of how many, with each row spinning while handled and sliding away when finished.
- Press Stop to end a run at any moment rather than waiting on a process that looks frozen.
- Read the date and time under every message to know when something was actually said, and jump between your own messages or to the top or bottom of a long thread.
How It Works
Open chatgpt.com and press Add Checkboxes. Click the threads you want, Shift-click to pick an entire range, or use the button that selects them all. Choose Delete Selected or Archive Selected and the extension works through the queue while a progress bar tracks completed items and a Stop button remains available.
Use Cases
- ChatGPT power users clear a year of stale conversations in a couple of minutes instead of deleting them one by one.
- People who want a tidy sidebar without losing history send old threads to the archive instead of deleting them.
- Researchers and writers reading long conversations use message timestamps to check when a statement was made.
- Anyone scrolling a very long thread jumps between their own messages or straight to the top or bottom.
- Non-English speakers work in their own language through an interface localized into 55 languages.
- Privacy-conscious users clean up their history with an extension that does not read, store or send chat content.

Frequently asked questions about ChatPilot – ChatGPT Bulk Delete, Archive & Timestamps
How do I bulk delete ChatGPT conversations with ChatPilot?
Open chatgpt.com and press Add Checkboxes, then click the threads you want to remove. Use Shift-click to pick a range or the select-all button, then choose Delete Selected and the extension deletes them in one run.
Can I archive chats instead of deleting them?
Yes. After selecting threads, choose Archive Selected to tidy the sidebar without losing conversations you might want later. Both bulk delete and bulk archive run from the same floating action bar.
Can I stop a bulk delete while it is running?
Yes. A progress bar shows how many items are done out of how many, each row spins while it is being handled and slides away when finished, and a Stop button ends the run whenever you want.
Does ChatPilot read or collect my chat content?
No. Nothing leaves your browser, and the extension does not read, collect, store or send the content of your chats. It only acts on the threads you tick, and Google sign-in is used for nothing but identifying your account.
Is ChatPilot affiliated with OpenAI?
No. ChatPilot is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or otherwise connected to OpenAI. ChatGPT is a trademark of OpenAI.
Can I see when a message was sent?
Yes. ChatPilot adds the date and time under every message so you can tell when something was actually said.
