activeloopai Deeplake Memory — Persistent Filesystem for AI Agents
Deeplake Memory is a FUSE-mounted folder backed by Deeplake Cloud. Everything written here survives across sessions and syncs in real-time to all connected AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, etc.).
Memory Location
Your persistent memory is mounted at ~/.deeplake/memory/.
- Read/write files with standard commands (
cat,ls,echo >) - Sessions persist — files are shared across all Claude Code sessions
- Multi-agent — other AI assistants see the same files in real-time
- Cloud-backed — data stored in Deeplake Cloud, accessible from any machine
