Organize Your Gemini Chats on Mac
Google Gemini dumps every conversation into a single flat list. No folders, no profiles, no saved layouts. After a few weeks of use, finding anything becomes impossible. Users on r/Bard have been requesting organizational tools since launch. Gemlet for Mac solves this with 3 layers of organization: folders for your chats, profiles for your Google accounts, and workspaces for your panel layouts.
1. Folders: Group Your Bookmarked Chats
Bookmark your important conversations, then organize them into folders — by project, client, or topic. No more scrolling through a flat list to find that one chat from last week.
- By project: "Website Redesign", "Marketing Campaign", "API Integration"
- By role: "Code Reviews", "Writing", "Data Analysis"
- By status: "Active", "Archive", "Reference"
Unlike ChatGPT (which added folders in 2024), Google Gemini still offers zero organizational tools. Gemlet fills that gap.
2. Multiple Profiles: Separate Google Accounts
Run multiple Google accounts in separate windows, each with its own chat history, Gems, bookmarks, and preferred model. Switch between profiles with Cmd+Shift+P — no logging out, no browser tabs.
Work + Personal Separation
Your work Google account stays completely isolated from your personal one. Different chat histories, different Gems, different bookmarks. No cross-contamination.
Free + Paid Accounts
Use your Gemini Advanced account for complex tasks and a free account for quick lookups. Each profile maintains its own subscription tier and model preferences.
3. Workspaces: Save Your Panel Layouts
Workspaces save your Split Panel configuration so you can restore it in 1 keystroke via Cmd+K. Instead of rearranging panels every time you switch contexts, just load the right workspace.
Example Configurations
- "Research": 2 side-by-side panels — one for exploring sources, one for summarizing findings.
- "Coding": Single focused panel with your Code Expert Gem loaded.
- "Comparison": 3 panels running different Gems to compare outputs on the same prompt.
All 3 Layers Working Together
| Layer | What It Organizes | Access |
|---|---|---|
| Folders | Bookmarked chats grouped by topic or project | Sidebar |
| Profiles | Separate Google accounts in independent windows | Cmd+Shift+P |
| Workspaces | Saved Split Panel layouts and Gem arrangements | Cmd+K |
