I would _love_ the ability to use project-specific memory (like in named folders or workspaces) **without needing to have general memory turned on**. Right now, there’s no way to separate the two, and that limits how safe or intentional some users can be with what they share.

Please consider giving users **more control over what gets saved, where it gets saved, and how memory is handled within projects versus general use**. I’d feel so much more comfortable using long-term memory features if I knew they were project-contained and not influencing unrelated conversations or accounts.

This kind of user-centered memory management would make ChatGPT feel more grounded, trustworthy, and personally aligned with how I work.
