Preview of bookmarklet to toggle history

Quickly Toggle Training & History – ChatGPT Bookmarklet (javascript)

ai

TL;DR: Got tired enough of the extra clicks needed to disable Training & History, created bookmarklet.

Drag link to Bookmark bar:

Toggle History

This JavaScript bookmarklet code toggles the chat history on ChatGPT site itself. It prompts you in the browser with a confirmation message asking if you want to toggle the chat history before proceeding. On confirmation, it retrieves the current value of the “oai/apps/historyDisabled” key from the browser’s localStorage. It then toggles the value of the key and logs the new value to the console (just for debug). Finally, it reloads the page to apply the toggle history changes.

The code uses a few JavaScript concepts such as conditional statements, local storage, and reloading the page. The use of local storage allows the bookmarklet to remember the user’s preference for the chat history across different sessions.
