Set aside important chats so they stop cluttering the sidebar

Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

I would love to see a “Set Aside” action that works similar to archive: move a chat out of the main sidebar so it isn’t part of the active chats, and view all of them in a separate set aside section.

Archive currently means “this chat is finished”. That makes it a bad place for chats I still need later, but not now. On a typical task, I often end up with chats that have ideas or refactors that need to wait until I finish something else first. Those chats are not done, and if I archive them they disappear into a pile of hundreds of finished chats getting lost.

I currently have around 50 chats at any given time stuck in the sidebar making it hard to keep track of things.

Other solutions

Folder organization would also be a way to solve this (if folders could be collapsed): Folder organization for agent chats

I also know that chats can set an icon, however that doesn’t work in IDE mode and they still clutter the sidebar.

Thanks for the feature request! Others can weigh in here and add support or voice other opinions.
