Problem Statement
Allow Claude Code memory and user preferences to sync across
machines when logging in with the same Anthropic account.
Proposed Solution
Use Case / Motivation:
Currently, memory files are stored locally in ~/.claude/memory/
on each machine. This means:
- Setting up guidelines on Mac doesn't sync to Ubuntu
- Cross-machine setup is manual and error-prone
- Global preferences can't follow the user across devices
With cloud sync, I could set once and have it available on:
- Mac development machine
- Ubuntu server on LAN
- Future machines with same login
Expected Behavior:
- User sets global memory/settings on one machine (e.g., Mac)
- Logs into Claude Code on another machine (e.g., Ubuntu) with same account
- All memory and preferences automatically available
- Changes sync bidirectionally across devices
Alternative Solutions
Current Workaround:
- Manually recreate memory files on each machine
- Store guidelines in git repos (CLAUDE.md files)
- Use cloud storage symlinks (fragile, OS-dependent)
Priority
High - Significant impact on productivity
