Your Cowork sessions, remembered.
Claude can now remember Cowork tasks inside the app. claude-mem takes that memory everywhere: every new session starts already knowing what you did last time — and the same memory follows you into Claude Code, Cursor, and every agent you use.
Then say "set up claude-mem" and paste your key from cmem.ai → Connect. That's the whole setup.
Cowork sessions are goldfish
Every Cowork session runs in a fresh cloud container that's destroyed when it ends. The research Claude did this morning, the plan you built on your phone, the bug it finally understood — gone. Tomorrow you explain it all again.
With claude-mem, the container is still disposable — the work isn't. Everything Claude learns while working for you becomes memory that outlives the session.
A coworker who never forgets
You work. It remembers. That's the entire experience.
Watches while you work
Every task Claude does in Cowork — files it touched, decisions it made, things it figured out — gets captured automatically. You don't do anything.
Turns work into memory
cmem.ai compresses the raw activity into short, structured observations — the kind of notes a great coworker would keep.
Briefs every new session
Open a fresh Cowork session and it already knows what happened last time. Spawned agents get briefed too, before they start.
Follows you everywhere
The same memory shows up in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex — any MCP client. What you did on your phone is known on your laptop.
It can help you. It can't hurt you.
Never breaks a session
No API key? Every hook is a silent no-op. cmem.ai unreachable? Events spool locally and flush later. Your session always works.
Zero effort, zero lag
Capture is a thin background shim — the heavy lifting (compression, indexing, recall) runs server-side on cmem.ai, not in your session.
Questions, answered
Doesn't Claude already remember Cowork tasks now?
Yes — and that's great. Claude's built-in memory keeps notes inside the Claude app. claude-mem goes further: it captures structured observations of the actual work (tools used, files changed, decisions made), makes them searchable, and syncs them to every other coding agent you use — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, any MCP client. Built-in memory is a notebook; this is a shared brain.
What is Cowork?
Cowork is Claude's way of doing real multi-step work for you in the Claude app — on mobile, web, and desktop. Sessions run in cloud containers that are wiped when they end. claude-mem for Cowork is what makes the work survive the wipe.
How do I set it up?
Install the plugin in a Cowork session, then say "set up claude-mem" — the built-in setup skill walks you through pasting your key from cmem.ai → Connect. Two minutes, once, and every future session is remembered.
What does it cost?
The plugin is free and open source. Server-side memory (compression, storage, recall across devices) runs on CMEM Pro, which has a free trial.
What about privacy?
Tool inputs and outputs are truncated before sending, credentials and secrets are redacted, and memory-tool calls are never captured. You can open, search, and delete everything from your cmem.ai account.
What if I lose connection mid-session?
Nothing breaks. Capture events spool to a local file and flush the next time a hook fires. Every hook exits cleanly no matter what — a memory outage can never take down your work.
Stop re-explaining yourself
Two commands in your next Cowork session, and every session after it starts smarter than the last.
