Problem Statement

Lack of Universal Memory per User/Team

Proposed Solution

Hi Anthropic team,

I'd like to suggest a feature that I think would significantly improve the experience for power users: universal, persistent memory that works across all Claude interfaces — claude.ai (web), Claude desktop (Cowork), Claude Code (CLI/VPS), and the VS Code extension. The problem today: Each interface has its own isolated context. A user who works across multiple environments has to re-explain their preferences, projects, and background in every single session. This creates friction and limits how useful Claude can be as a long-term assistant. The proposal: A unified memory layer — a structured file (e.g. JSON or Markdown) containing user preferences, ongoing projects, and key facts — that every Claude interface can read from and write to. The key design idea — user-defined storage: Rather than forcing a single centralized store, let users choose where their memory lives: Anthropic cloud (zero-config default) Their own S3/R2/Blob storage (for enterprise/compliance needs) A self-hosted server or VPS A private Git repository (with built-in versioning and history) This approach respects privacy, satisfies compliance requirements, and gives technical users full control. Why this matters: For developers and professionals working across web, desktop, and CLI environments simultaneously, this would transform Claude from a per-session tool into a genuine long-term collaborator.
