Today's change unifies memory between the two systems.
"Cowork now has memory, and it’s the same one you use in chat, leading to less re-explaining and more picking up where you left off," Anthropic says. "When Cowork runs a task in the cloud, what Claude remembers from your chats is there, and vice versa."
Anthropic adds that memory for sensitive topics is off by default, but it can be enabled.
"Claude does not store subjects considered sensitive, like health or beliefs, to memory by default, but if those are the topics you're tired of re-explaining, you can turn them on in Memory settings," they explain.
The company supports memory on free and paid plans, including on Mac and iOS.
"Memory is on by default on Free, Pro and Max plans across web, desktop, and mobile," per Anthropic. "Note that saving sensitive topics in memory is off by default. On iOS and Android, update to the latest version of the mobile app to get the most recent updates."
