Claude Adds Reflect: A Monthly Recap and Usage Dashboard for How You Use Claude
Anthropic introduced Reflect, a beta dashboard in Claude's Settings that shows a monthly recap of when you use Claude most and what you worked on, with quiet hours and break nudges. It runs only when memory is on and excludes incognito chats and health integration content.
Anthropic has introduced Reflect, a new beta dashboard that gives you a monthly recap of how you use Claude. Per Anthropic, Reflect shows when you use Claude most and what you spent that time working on, and adds options to set quiet hours and nudges to take breaks. You find it in Settings under Reflect on the Claude web or desktop app, and it runs only when memory is on. (Claude on X, Anthropic)
Key Takeaways
- A self-audit dashboard: Anthropic describes Reflect as a beta way to reflect on and refine how you use Claude, tracking and visualizing usage so you can decide whether that time aligns with your goals.
- Monthly recap: The summary covers key topics, usage patterns, and the types of tasks you work through, over the past 1, 3, 6, or 12 months.
- Quiet hours and break nudges: Per Anthropic, you can set quiet hours and schedule a nudge to take a break after a certain amount of time; both are dismissible reminders of your own preferences.
- Beta on Free, Pro, and Max: Anthropic says Reflect is in beta on those plans, on the Claude web and desktop app.
- Requires memory on: Reflect runs only when memory is turned on; if a report fails to generate, it may be because memory is off.
- Privacy exclusions: Per Anthropic, Reflect does not draw from incognito chats, does not pull underlying files from connected tools, and leaves out health integration conversations entirely.
What Anthropic Announced
Per Anthropic, Reflect helps you track and visualize your Claude usage and decide whether that time aligns with your goals. The reflection dashboard lives in Settings on the Claude web or desktop app. The summary covers key topics, usage patterns, and the types of tasks you work through, and you can look back over the past 1, 3, 6, or 12 months. Anthropic says it plans to add a view of how much time you spent using Claude soon. (Anthropic)
Beyond static summaries, Anthropic says Reflect periodically surfaces questions and lets you talk them through with Claude, positioning it as an ongoing reflection tool rather than a one-time report.
Quiet Hours and Break Nudges
The wellness-oriented controls are the second half of the feature. Per Anthropic, you can set quiet hours and schedule a nudge to take a break after a certain amount of time. Anthropic frames both as dismissible reminders of your own preferences rather than hard limits. (Claude on X, Anthropic)
Anthropic says it developed Reflect with input from experts at MIT Media Lab's Advancing Humans with AI program, the Digital Wellness Lab at Boston Children's Hospital, and the Family Online Safety Institute. (Anthropic)
Availability and Requirements
Per Anthropic, Reflect is currently available in beta for Free, Pro, and Max users, and is supported on the Claude web and desktop app. It requires memory turned on, and if report generation fails, it may be because memory is not enabled. Anthropic also says reflecting on Cowork conversations will be available soon, so Reflect does not yet cover Cowork sessions at launch. (Anthropic)
| Detail | What Anthropic says |
|---|---|
| Status | Beta |
| Plans | Free, Pro, Max |
| Surfaces | Claude web and desktop app |
| Requirement | Memory turned on |
| Time windows | Past 1, 3, 6, or 12 months |

Privacy and Exclusions
Anthropic is explicit about what Reflect does not touch. Per Anthropic, Reflect:
- Does not draw from incognito chats.
- Does not pull underlying files from connected tools.
- Leaves out health integration conversations entirely.
- Keeps reflection information and insights within Reflect, not used for other purposes.
- Surfaces sensitive conversations only at a high level.
For anyone weighing a usage dashboard against privacy concerns, these exclusions are the load-bearing detail: Reflect is designed to summarize patterns without exposing the contents of sensitive, incognito, or health-related conversations. This pairs with Anthropic's broader work on how Claude handles memory and context. (Anthropic)
