A tiny VS Code extension that adds an Activity Bar view to browse the markdown files your AI coding agent keeps about your projects.
Designed for Claude Code's auto-memory system
(files under ~/.claude/projects/<slug>/memory/), but works with any tool
that follows the same on-disk layout.
Features
- 📎 Dedicated Activity Bar icon — one click, memory is right there
- 📁 Workspace-aware: opens the memory folder for the project you're in
- 🔀 Fallback browser: no workspace open? Browse all projects with memory
- 🔄 Auto-refresh when memory files change on disk
- 🗂
MEMORY.mdpinned as the index entry, rest sorted alphabetically
How it works
The extension derives the memory folder path from the currently open workspace:
~/.claude/projects/<slug>/memory/
where <slug> is the absolute workspace path with / replaced by -
(e.g. /Users/you/Desktop/my-project → -Users-you-Desktop-my-project).
This matches Claude Code's on-disk layout. If your agent uses a different
root, point it there via the memoria.memoryRoot setting.
Settings
| Setting | Default | Description |

Commands

Install
From the Marketplace: search for Memoria in the Extensions panel.
Or sideload a .vsix:

Why
Claude Code (and similar agents) can build up a useful pile of facts about you and your project over many sessions. Those notes already live on disk, but they're buried in a long absolute path you never want to type. This extension just surfaces them.
