Thinking Renamer for Claude, ChatGPT & Gemini

Description

Rename the animated "Thinking…" indicator on claude.ai, ChatGPT, and Gemini to a name of your choosing. Thinking Renamer lets you personalize the animated "Thinking...", "Pondering...", "Reasoning..." indicator that Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini show while they're reasoning — replace it with any name you want, like a custom assistant name or your own name. WHAT IT DOES While Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini is working through a response, the page cycles through a handful of single-word status labels and, once done, shows a collapsed duration header or toggle (e.g. "Thought for 12 seconds", "Reasoned for 8 seconds", or "Show thinking"). This extension quietly swaps that specific text for whatever name you set in the popup — nothing else on the page is touched. FEATURES • Works on Claude (claude.ai), ChatGPT (chatgpt.com), and Gemini (gemini.google.com) • Choose which of the three to apply it to — all of them or just one • Set any custom name (with an optional suffix, e.g. "Nova is thinking") • Optionally keep the trailing "..." animation dots • Optionally rename the "Thought for N seconds" / "Reasoned for N seconds" header too • Live preview in the popup shows exactly what will appear before you save • Turn it off any time — the original text is restored instantly, no reload needed PRIVACY This extension does not collect, transmit, or sell any data. It never reads your conversations or messages — it only looks at short (48 characters or fewer) status-label text nodes on the page, and explicitly skips text inside message composers, code blocks, and editable areas. Your chosen name and settings are stored locally using Chrome's built-in sync storage and are never sent to any server operated by this extension's developer. PERMISSIONS • storage — to remember your chosen name and preferences across devices signed into the same Chrome profile • claude.ai / claude.com / chatgpt.com / chat.openai.com / gemini.google.com — the only sites this extension is allowed to run on This is an independent, unofficial personalization tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google.
