Memories

Browse and manage the knowledge chunks Claude has extracted from your conversations

Memories

The Memories page lets you browse, search, and manage the knowledge that Claude has extracted from your conversations. These memory chunks are what give Claude long-term context about your preferences, decisions, and established patterns.

How Memories Are Created

Memories are not created manually. They are automatically extracted from your Claude conversations when extraction hooks are triggered. Each chunk captures a distinct piece of knowledge -- a decision you made, a fact you shared, a solution that worked, or a pattern Claude noticed.

For details on how extraction works, see Claude Integration.

Memory Table

The page displays memories in a data table with the following columns:

ColumnDescription
TypeThe category of knowledge, shown as a color-coded badge with an icon.
ContentThe extracted text, truncated to two lines. Hover to see the full content.
RelevanceA visual progress bar showing how relevant this memory is (0-100%).
AccessedHow many times this memory has been retrieved for context.
CreatedWhen the memory was extracted, shown as relative time (e.g., "3 days ago").

Memory Types

Each memory is classified into one of six types:

TypeIconColorWhat It Captures
DecisionBranchPrimaryChoices you made and their reasoning
FactInfoBlueConcrete facts about you, your projects, or your environment
SolutionCheckGreenApproaches that successfully solved a problem
PatternRepeatYellowRecurring workflows or conventions you follow
PreferenceSettingsNeutralYour stated likes, dislikes, and style preferences
SummaryFileNeutralCondensed summaries of longer exchanges

Use the toolbar to narrow down the memory list:

  • Type filter -- Select a specific memory type or "All Types" from the dropdown.
  • Search -- Free-text search across memory content. Results update as you type with a short debounce delay.

Relevance Scores

Each memory has a relevance score between 0 and 1. Higher scores mean the memory is considered more important or more frequently useful. The score is displayed as both a progress bar and a percentage value, making it easy to spot the most impactful memories at a glance.

Access Counts

The "Accessed" column shows how many times a memory has been retrieved when building context for Claude. Frequently accessed memories are the ones Claude relies on most.

Deleting Memories

To delete a memory, click the three-dot menu on its row and select Delete. A confirmation modal will appear. Deletion is permanent -- the memory cannot be restored.

The total count of memories is displayed as a badge next to the page title, so you can see at a glance how large your memory store is.

If Claude keeps recalling something you would rather it forget, find that memory here and delete it. Claude will no longer use it as context.
