🧠 Memory for everyone

Memory (drawn from your history) is available on all plans, Free included. Visible and editable in Settings → Capabilities → Memory.

🗂️ Per-topic entries

No more daily summaries: Claude now keeps categorized individual entries, which it reads and updates during a conversation.

📅 Monthly Recap

In Settings → Reflect (beta): a monthly recap of your activity, your usage habits, and areas for improvement.

🔒 Compliance instinct

Memory can be purged or disabled at any time — worth framing in your internal policy if client data passes through Claude.

🔗 One memory for chat and Cowork

What Claude learns in conversation now follows it into Cowork, and vice versa. Memories are per-topic files you can read, edit, or delete in Settings → Memory. Sensitive topics (health, opinions, religion, orientation) are excluded by default — an explicit toggle lets you include them.
