How It Works
thedotmack/claude-memClaude-mem is a tool that remembers your past work with Claude. Every action you take is saved as a short note. At the end of your session, all notes are summarized. When you start a new session, the tool brings back the most relevant memories. You do not have to explain everything again.
Memory starts working from your second session. The first session builds the foundation. Later sessions get automatic context from earlier ones. You can also run a special command to load your whole project at once.
All your data stays on your own computer. Nothing leaves except calls to an AI provider for compression. The files live in a folder called .claude-mem. When you uninstall, everything is removed cleanly.
