How do I enable the extension after installing it?

After installing, open any supported AI platform in your browser. The Ophel panel should appear automatically in the sidebar. If it doesn’t, check that the extension is enabled in your browser toolbar (click the puzzle-piece icon and confirm Ophel is toggled on), then hard-reload the page with Ctrl+Shift+R (Mac: Cmd+Shift+R).

Some URLs require you to explicitly grant Ophel permission to run. If you see a “Click to enable” prompt in the extension popup, click it and allow access to the current site.

What's the difference between the browser extension and the userscript?

The browser extension (available for Chrome, Edge, and Firefox) is the recommended option. It has the full feature set, better performance, and higher compatibility because it integrates directly with the browser.

The userscript runs inside a userscript manager like Tampermonkey and does not require a browser extension install. It is a good fallback if you cannot install extensions, but some features may be limited compared to the extension version.

Panel & Navigation

Why isn't the panel showing on the page?

Work through these steps in order:

1. Confirm the extension is installed and enabled — check the browser toolbar for the Ophel icon.
2. Hard-reload the page: Ctrl+Shift+R (Mac: Cmd+Shift+R).
3. Check that the site you’re on is in the supported platforms list.
4. If you previously closed the panel, press Alt+P (Mac: Option+P) to reopen it, or click the floating show/hide button.

How do I open the panel if the floating buttons have disappeared?

Press Alt+P (Mac: Option+P). This keyboard shortcut toggles the panel regardless of whether the floating buttons are visible on screen.

How do I use ghost mode?

Ghost mode makes the panel temporarily transparent and click-through so you can interact with the page behind it. Hold Ctrl (Windows/Linux) or Command (Mac) alone for about 0.2 seconds. The panel fades out and lets clicks pass through. Release the key to return to normal.

What is edge snap, and how do I use it?

Edge snap lets the panel hide against the screen edge and slide out when you need it. Drag the panel toward a screen edge until it snaps into place. To reveal it, hover over that edge — the panel slides out automatically. To undock it, drag it away from the edge.

If you prefer to keep the panel floating freely, you can disable edge snap entirely in Settings → General → Panel.

Outline

Why is the outline empty even though the conversation has content?

Some AI platforms update the DOM asynchronously, so the outline may not populate immediately when the page first loads. Press Alt+R (Mac: Option+R) to refresh the outline manually. If the outline stays empty after a refresh, check that Auto update is enabled in Settings → Features → Outline.

Why isn't the outline tracking my scroll position?

The scroll-tracking feature is controlled by a setting. Go to Settings → Features → Outline and make sure Sync outline with scroll (Follow mode) is set to current rather than manual.

How do I refresh the outline manually?

Press Alt+R (Mac: Option+R) at any time to force the outline to re-scan the conversation and rebuild its entries. You can also find a refresh button in the outline panel header.

Conversations

Why aren't my conversations showing in the Conversations tab?

The Conversations tab reads from the AI platform’s own sidebar. If the platform’s sidebar hasn’t fully loaded, Ophel cannot see the conversations. Try scrolling the native sidebar on the AI platform to trigger it to load more items, then check the Conversations tab again.

What does WebDAV sync actually back up?

WebDAV sync backs up the metadata that Ophel adds to your conversations: titles, folder assignments, tags, pins, and any notes you’ve added inside Ophel. It does not upload the actual conversation messages — those belong to the AI platform and stay there. You can also optionally include your saved prompts, settings, and Claude session keys in the backup.

Prompts & Queue

How does the Prompt Queue work?

The Prompt Queue lets you line up multiple prompts and send them automatically one by one without waiting manually after each AI response. To use it:

1. Enable the queue in Settings → Features → Prompts → Prompt Queue.
2. Open the queue overlay with Alt+J (Mac: Option+J).
3. Add prompts one by one, or use the batch-import option to paste and split a large block of text.
4. Press Start. Ophel monitors the page and automatically sends the next prompt once it detects the AI has finished responding (no active generation for two consecutive checks, roughly 2 seconds).

You can pause, skip items, reorder by dragging, or clear the queue at any time.

The queue isn't sending the next prompt — why?

Ophel waits until the AI page appears idle (no generation spinner detected) for two consecutive polling intervals, which takes about 2 seconds. If the AI platform uses an unusual loading indicator that Ophel cannot detect, the queue may stall indefinitely. As a workaround, click the manual Send next button in the queue overlay to advance to the next prompt.

Claude

What are Session Keys?

A Claude session key is an authentication token from your active browser session on claude.ai. By adding multiple session keys (from different Claude accounts), you can rotate between accounts when one hits its usage limit. Ophel intercepts outgoing requests to claude.ai and swaps in the active session key automatically.

Is it safe to store session keys in Ophel?

Session keys are stored locally in your browser on your own machine. Ophel does not upload them to any server. If you use WebDAV backup and enable the option to include session keys, be careful about who has access to your backup files — they would contain valid authentication tokens.

Permissions

Why does Ophel ask for the all_urls permission?

The <all_urls> permission is required for two optional features: WebDAV sync (to connect to your own WebDAV server at any URL) and watermark removal (to fetch and convert images). This permission is entirely optional — if you don’t use either feature, you can deny or revoke it. Go to Settings → Permissions and click Revoke next to it.

Can I revoke permissions after granting them?

Yes. Go to Settings → Permissions and click Revoke next to any permission you want to remove. Revoking a permission disables the feature that depends on it, but everything else in Ophel continues to work normally.

Privacy

Does Ophel send my conversation data anywhere?

No. Ophel runs entirely in your browser. Your conversation data, prompts, and settings stay on your device by default. If you configure WebDAV sync, data is sent only to the WebDAV server you specify — which you control. Ophel itself does not collect or transmit any user data.

General

How do I reset everything to defaults?

Go to Settings → Backup & Sync and click Clear all data. This removes all Ophel data stored in your browser, including saved prompts, conversation metadata, folder and tag definitions, and all settings. The AI platform’s own conversation history is not affected.
