What does Claude remember?

Claude keeps memories across conversations, and since 2026 that is available on every plan including free.

Does Claude share memory between projects?

Each project has its own memory. Inside a project, Claude uses that project's memory plus memory from chats outside projects, never another project's. To separate a project fully, turn off Use account memory on that project's page.

Does the import tool move my ChatGPT memory across?

Not as a copy. Claude's import tool reads an export from another assistant and builds Claude's own memories from it. It is experimental and it prioritises work-related memories.

Can Claude read an outside memory store?

Yes. Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise, with free accounts limited to one, and an owner adding the connector first on Team and Enterprise.
