Set up Claude Desktop

Bunplan goes in as a Claude Desktop extension. It takes about a minute.

Before you start

• Bunplan and Claude Desktop are both installed on this Mac.
• You have Bunplan Plus, or the free trial.

Add Bunplan to Claude Desktop

1. Open Bunplan, choose Bunplan → Settings, and click Assistants.
2. Under Access, choose Read only or Read & write. See Access and Plus.
3. Click Add to Claude Desktop.
4. Bunplan asks you to confirm. With Read & write, it says: "Add Bunplan to Claude Desktop? Claude will be able to read and change anything in your plan. You can undo its changes here." Click Add to Claude Desktop.
5. Claude Desktop opens and asks you to confirm the extension. Follow its steps to install it.

Try it

Start a new chat in Claude and ask:

• "What's on my plan today in Bunplan?"
• "Plan my statistics final in Bunplan. It's on December 12."

The first time Claude uses a Bunplan tool, Claude Desktop may ask for your permission. Bunplan's prompts are there too, as slash commands.

Change or remove access

• To change what Claude may do, choose another access level in Bunplan → Settings → Assistants. It applies from Claude's next request.
• To stop Claude for now, choose Off. Claude's requests are turned away until you choose again.
• To remove Bunplan from Claude Desktop, remove the extension in Claude Desktop's settings.

Tip

Every change Claude makes is listed under Assistant activity, grouped by conversation, with Undo. See Activity and Undo.

If it doesn't work

• Add to Claude Desktop only works once access is Read only or Read & write.
• If Claude says assistants are off, or that Bunplan is read only, change Access in Bunplan.
