Fresh releases
All releases →Claude-Mem: v15.8.3 privacy fix
Browser setup now asks before uploading anything: a consent panel lists each detected tool and its prompt count, and "Keep everything local" uploads nothing. Earlier versions (since v15.2.0) uploaded the last 30 days of prompts, with project names and paths, without asking; those uploads are not removed by the update. Update if you've installed it.
