LADLE keeps the organizational primitives small on purpose. Chats live at the top level or inside a project; there are no folders, no tags, no colors, no starred subfolders. Everything else is search. This page enumerates the exact set of organizational tools and how they compose.
The two buckets: loose chats and project chats
Every chat is either loose (sits under Recents in the sidebar) or inside a project (grouped under that project). Move a chat: right-click → Move to project, or drag it into a project in the sidebar. Convert a loose chat to a new project: right-click → Convert to project.
Pinning
Right-click any chat → Pin. Pinned chats appear above the rest of Recents.
Renaming
Chats get an auto-generated title based on the first message. Rename: right-click → Rename, or ⌘⇧R with the chat selected. Renaming does not affect chat history or content, only what appears in the sidebar.
Archiving vs deleting
Archive: right-click → Archive. Archived chats disappear from the sidebar but stay in your account; retrieve via Settings → Archived chats. Delete: right-click → Delete. Deleted chats are removed within 30 seconds and unrecoverable after 24 hours (post-cleanup). Archive when you might come back to it; delete when you're sure.
Search as the organizational tool
⌘K searches across every chat (loose and projected), every chat's message body, and attached files' text content. If you can't find a chat via search, ask why — the answer is usually that its content doesn't include the terms you're searching for (rather than that it needs a tag).
