Why

There is no dedicated toggle for the recap; it is enabled or disabled by the memory setting. Turning it off does not affect chat history or break reminders.

What it does and when to use it

You can disable Claude's monthly recap by turning off 'Generate memory from chat history' in Settings > Capabilities. This setting controls both memory and the recap, and disabling it will hide the recap without impacting other settings.
