Feature request for product/service
Cursor IDE
Describe the request
Please add a way to automatically hide (not delete) chats in the Agents sidebar that are older than a configurable number of days, with an option to apply this per project / repository.
Why The sidebar fills up quickly with old conversations. Archiving one by one is tedious. I want a “working set” of recent chats without permanently deleting history. Different projects also need different retention windows (e.g. 3 days for a busy repo, longer for a rarely opened one).
Proposed behavior
Age filter (configurable)
Setting or sidebar filter: “Hide chats older than N days”
N is user-configurable (e.g. 3, 7, 14, 30, or custom)
Older chats are hidden from the main list only; they remain searchable / restorable / visible when the filter is off or when browsing Archived / All
Per-project scope
Allow this age filter to be set globally and/or overridden per project/repository
Example: Project A → hide older than 3 days; Project B → hide older than 14 days; or disable for a specific project
Non-destructive
Must not delete chats (unlike Developer: Delete Old Chats…)
Only controls sidebar visibility / clutter
Current workaround Manual Archive, or permanently deleting old chats by age. Neither matches “keep history, keep the sidebar clean, and tune retention per project.”
Operating System (if it applies)
Windows 10/11
