## How do I see how I've been using Claude each month?

Open Settings, then Wellbeing, and click View under Reflect to see your monthly recap (as of October 2026). It's in beta on the Free, Pro and Max plans on the web and desktop, and it needs memory turned on. Pick this month for a quick check, or the past 3 months or year to spot real patterns. If you don't see it yet, it's still rolling out, so check again in a few days.

## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Here's my Claude monthly recap: [PASTE YOUR RECAP]. I mostly use AI for [MAIN GOAL, e.g. running my coaching business]. Read the recap like a friendly coach. First, tell me in three sentences what my habits say about how I work. Then pick the two suggestions from the recap that would save me the most time and turn each one into a small experiment I can try this week, with the exact first message I'd send to start it. Finally, name one task I keep doing by hand that I could set up once as a project or skill so I never explain it again. Keep it short, warm and practical, and don't lecture me.
```

## Step by step

1. Open Claude on the web or desktop and go to Settings, then Wellbeing
2. Click View under Reflect to open your monthly recap
3. Switch the date range to the past 3 months for a bigger picture
