This update is all about helping you understand your own habits and manage your time better. It’s especially useful if you use Claude a lot for school, work, or personal projects and want a quick summary of what you actually did over the past month, along with some gentle boundaries to keep you from overworking.
What's new
- Monthly Recap: Found under Settings > Reflect, this gives you a dashboard of your activity. It shows the main topics you chatted about, your busiest day, your peak hour, and a few observations about your workflow. It's currently in "beta" (meaning it's an early version they are still testing) and you must have the "memory" feature turned on for Claude to use it.
- Time and Focus Settings: You can now go to Settings > Time and focus to set up optional break reminders. You can also schedule "quiet hours" so Claude stays silent during times you need to focus or step away.
Improvements
- Claude is getting better at helping you step back and see the big picture of how you work, rather than just answering your questions one by one.
