The dashboard is where you manage memories, buckets, chat history, and settings. Open it at [memoryplugin.com/dashboard](https://memoryplugin.com/dashboard).

<Frame caption="The dashboard: bucket sidebar on the left, the add-memory box and memory list on the right.">
  <img className="block dark:hidden" src="https://mintcdn.com/memoryplugin/0D7zqA9Ak-TR54pG/images/screenshots/dashboard/dashboard-overview.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=0D7zqA9Ak-TR54pG&q=85&s=12d624e2ff518379964ef033b6f4a77a" alt="MemoryPlugin dashboard overview showing the bucket sidebar and a list of memories" width="3200" height="2000" data-path="images/screenshots/dashboard/dashboard-overview.png" />

</Frame>

## Layout

The dashboard uses a fixed left sidebar plus a main content area. The sidebar stays put while you work; the main area shows whichever bucket or feature you have open. A vertical **Ask Docs** tab sits on the right edge of the screen and opens the docs help panel.

## Sidebar

The sidebar is grouped into three sections.

### Buckets

This section is where your memories live.

* **Bucket selector** at the top. Click it to switch buckets or create a new one. Hold ⌘ (or Ctrl) and it shows a **⌘B** badge.
* **Browse** shows the memories in the selected bucket.
* **Ask** opens the AI query tool scoped to the current bucket.
* **New Memory** opens the add-memory dialog. Badge: **⌘J**.
* **Suggestions** lists cleanup suggestions for the selected bucket. An amber count badge appears when there are pending suggestions.
* **Get to Know You** starts a short conversational interview that turns your answers into memories.
* **Knowledge Graph** (early beta) builds a concept map of a bucket. This item carries a **Pro** badge and only shows on the Pro plan.

When the selected bucket is a file bucket, the items below the bucket selector are hidden, since they apply to memory buckets only.

### Chat History

* **Import** goes to the uploads page, where you bring in ChatGPT and Claude exports.
* **Browse** lists your imported and synced conversations.
* **Search** opens semantic search across your chats. Badge: **⌘K**.
* **Activity** shows usage stats and trends. It carries a **Beta** pill.
* **Ask** opens the AI query tool over your chat history. Badge: **⇧⌘O**.

### Resources

**Feedback** and **Roadmap** open embedded boards. **Changelog** and **Help** open the help center in a new tab.

### Footer

The sidebar footer holds the **Setup Guide** button (with a `{completed}/{total}` step counter, see below), your account button, and a **Theme** row with the dark mode toggle.

## Setup Guide

The **Setup Guide** is a short onboarding checklist. The footer button shows how many steps you have finished as a `{completed}/{total}` counter, and clicking it reopens the checklist. It is separate from **Get to Know You**, which is a conversation that creates memories rather than a checklist.

## Keyboard shortcuts

Badges for these appear in the sidebar while you hold the modifier key.

| Shortcut (Mac / Windows) | Action                     |
| ------------------------ | -------------------------- |
| **⌘K** / Ctrl+K          | Search your chat history   |
| **⌘J** / Ctrl+J          | Open the Add Memory dialog |
| **⇧⌘O** / Shift+Ctrl+O   | Go to the Ask page         |
| **⌘B** / Ctrl+B          | Open the bucket switcher   |
| Escape                   | Close the open dialog      |

Inside the add and edit forms, **⌘↵** (Ctrl+Enter) saves. **⌘F** focuses the memory search box.

## Account menu

Click your account button in the sidebar footer to open the account menu. It shows your email, your current plan, and three actions: **Settings**, **Manage Subscription**, and **Logout**.

## Settings

Settings open as a modal, not a separate page, so you keep your place in the dashboard. Open it from the account menu. It has five tabs.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Profile">
    Upload or change your avatar (JPEG, PNG, or WebP, up to 2MB), or fall back to your Google profile picture. Set a **Display name** shown across the app. Your email is read-only and managed through your Google account.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Account">
    Shows your current plan, trial or billing status, and what your plan includes. Paid users get **Manage Subscription**; trial and Core users see upgrade options. Eligible Pro users see a **Go Lifetime** offer.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Integrations">
    Your **Authentication Token** plus install cards for every platform (TypingMind, ChatGPT, Chrome, Safari, MCP Server, iOS). Copy the token into a plugin to connect it, or regenerate it to invalidate the old one.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Connected Apps">
    Apps you connected via OAuth, what each can access, and when it was last used. Revoke any app's access here; you can reconnect it later through the OAuth flow.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Notifications">
    Toggle marketing emails on or off. Essential account and onboarding emails are always sent regardless of this setting.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

<Warning>
  Keep your Authentication Token private. Anyone with it can read and write your memories. Regenerate it if it is ever exposed; regenerating invalidates the old token, so you will need to update any plugin that used it.
</Warning>

## Working with memories

The main area is where you add, edit, move, and organize memories.

* **Add**: type into the inline box on the home page, or press **⌘J** for the dialog. Turn on bulk mode to add one memory per line.
* **Search**: use the search box (placeholder "Search memories... (Cmd+F)") to filter the current bucket.
* **Edit**: each memory has an inline edit action. Memories you have edited show a version pill so you can view the edit history.

<Frame caption="Edits never overwrite: each change adds a version, and only the latest one is served.">
  <img className="block dark:hidden" src="https://mintcdn.com/memoryplugin/0D7zqA9Ak-TR54pG/images/diagrams/versioned-memory-chain-light.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=0D7zqA9Ak-TR54pG&q=85&s=730bf63960fdb15e27dc97836b63acea" alt="Diagram: one memory as a chain of versions, with only the latest tagged as current" width="580" height="190" data-path="images/diagrams/versioned-memory-chain-light.svg" />

  <img className="hidden dark:block" src="https://mintcdn.com/memoryplugin/0D7zqA9Ak-TR54pG/images/diagrams/versioned-memory-chain-dark.svg?fit=max&auto=format&n=0D7zqA9Ak-TR54pG&q=85&s=5ced340da25510e386b64749c1ee9453" alt="Diagram: one memory as a chain of versions, with only the latest tagged as current" width="580" height="190" data-path="images/diagrams/versioned-memory-chain-dark.svg" />
</Frame>

* **Move**: send a memory to another bucket from its row.
* **Filter**: once a bucket has Smart Categories, filter the list by category.

For selecting and acting on many memories at once, see [Bulk Operations](/features/bulk-operations). For CSV and JSON import and export, see [Import & Export](/features/import-export).

## Organizing with buckets

Create buckets to keep contexts separate, for example work apart from personal. Open the bucket selector to switch buckets, create a new memory or file bucket, rename, share, reorder, or delete. Your bucket order is kept in sync between the dashboard and the browser extension. See [Memory Buckets](/features/memory-buckets).

For buckets with 30 or more memories, **Smart Memory** groups them into categories with summaries so your AI can load only what is relevant. See [Smart Memory](/features/smart-memory).
