Use the board as a desktop widget: Mac

Other systems: Windows

Linux

On a Mac this is short, because Safari can turn any web page into an app with one menu item. The board then has its own window, its own icon in the Dock, and can open at login.

Time: about 5 minutes.

You need

• macOS Sonoma (14) or later, for Safari web apps. On an older Mac, see Older macOS below.
• Your board link, YOUR-BOARD-ARTIFACT-URL (README, step 2).

Step 1. Make the board an app

1. Open the board link in Safari.
2. In the menu bar, choose File, then Add to Dock.
3. Type a name, for example Day board, and click Add.

The board is now an app in the Dock. It is saved in the Applications folder of your home folder, and you can also open it with Spotlight.

Step 2. Open it and sign in

Click the Day board icon in the Dock. Sign in to claude.ai when asked. A Safari web app keeps its own sign-in, separate from Safari, so you sign in once inside the app.

Step 3. Make it small

Drag the edge of the window until it is about as wide as a phone. The board is made for a narrow window. The window remembers its size.

Step 4. Open it at login

1. Open System Settings, then General, then Login Items (on newer macOS: Login Items & Extensions).
2. Under Open at Login, click +.
3. Open your home folder, then Applications, choose Day board and click Open.

Step 5. Keep it in the Dock

The app is already in the Dock. To be sure it stays there, right-click its icon, choose Options, and tick Keep in Dock.

Keep it on top

macOS has no built-in setting to keep one window above all others. A third-party window tool can do it. Without one, a quick way to reach the board is to click its Dock icon, or press Command + Tab.

Older macOS

Safari web apps need macOS Sonoma or later. On an older Mac:

1. Open the board link in your browser.
2. Drag the padlock (or the site icon) from the left of the address bar to the right side of the Dock, next to the Bin.

This puts a link to the board in the Dock. It opens as a normal browser tab, not its own window.

Updates

The board link never changes. When the board is updated, the app shows the new version. Quit the app (Command + Q) and open it again to load it.

Notifications

The board cannot send Mac notifications itself. The daily messages are Claude scheduled tasks. They arrive as push notifications in the Claude app, and can also be sent by email.
