Feature Request

Description In the Claude Code desktop app (Windows), there is currently no way to rename conversations. The only action available on a conversation in the sidebar is "Archive".

Why it matters When you have many conversations open for different projects (accounting agent, code review, debugging...), it becomes very hard to find the right one without a custom name. Auto-generated titles are not always meaningful.

Expected behavior

  • Right-click or 3-dot menu on a conversation in the sidebar
  • Option to "Rename" the conversation
  • The custom name persists across sessions

Current behavior Only an "Archive" button is shown next to each conversation. No rename option exists.

Platform Windows 11 (desktop app from Microsoft Store)

extent analysis

TL;DR

Implementing a "Rename" option for conversations in the Claude Code desktop app's sidebar is likely to resolve the issue.

Guidance

  • Review the existing code for the sidebar conversation menu to identify where the "Archive" option is implemented and consider adding a "Rename" option in a similar manner.
  • Investigate the data storage mechanism for conversations to determine how to persist custom names across sessions.
  • Consider adding a keyboard shortcut or alternative access method for the "Rename" option to improve usability.
  • Evaluate the UI/UX implications of adding a "Rename" option, such as how to handle name conflicts or empty names.

Notes

The implementation details of the "Rename" feature may depend on the underlying architecture and technology stack of the Claude Code desktop app, which is not specified in the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement the "Rename" feature as described in the expected behavior, allowing users to customize conversation names and improving the overall usability of the app. This will address the core issue and provide a better user experience.
