Claude Memory Manager

Background

Claude Code keeps memory files per project (~/.claude/projects/<project>/memory/). Two things are missing:

• No global memory. Fix Claude's behavior in project A, and project B still doesn't know about it. Settings have global and per-project tiers; memory only has per-project.
• No way to see or manage memories. Files are scattered under ~/.claude/. You can't browse, edit, or clean them up without digging through directories by hand.

What this does

Adds global memory and a web UI for managing all of Claude's memories.

Global memories injected at session start	Web UI for browsing and editing memories

Global memory:

• Keeps cross-project memories in ~/.claude/memory/
• Injects them into context at session start via a SessionStart hook
• Includes a skill so Claude can read and write global memories during conversations

Web UI (default localhost:5050, picks another port if taken):

• Three-panel layout: folders, memory list, preview/edit
• Drag-and-drop between containers, bulk move/delete
• Export as .zip, import on another machine

Install

In Claude Code, run /plugin → Marketplaces → + Add Marketplace, enter:

WhymustIhaveaname/claude-memory-manager

Then go to Discover and install claude-memory-manager.

TODO

• Timestamped knowledge files that naturally age and can be periodically pruned (ref: yurukusa's comment)
• Manage Claude Code settings.json in the web UI
