Works with Claude
A planner Claude can read and write.
Claude is good at thinking. Braindetangler is good at keeping up. Connect them once, and Claude plans with you in your real loops, tasks and calendar.
What's on today?
You have the dentist at 10:30 and a call with the landlord at 14:00. Three tasks are due: send the insurance form, book the car service and draft the team update. Last night's evening routine is still open.
Things you can say
Here are my notes from my 1:1. Sort them.
ClaudeFour loops got an update. Q4 budget has two new tasks: confirm the revenue number with finance, and send the draft to Sam and Priya by Friday. Performance reviews has a question for Lena in HR. Team direction has a note. The appreciation day has a task to confirm the dates, with Tom owning testing five days before. It's all in Incoming for you to check.
Plan my week around my calendar.
ClaudeTuesday and Thursday are full of meetings, so I put the deep work on Wednesday morning. Three tasks don't fit this week. Shall I move them to next week, or drop one?
What have I been avoiding?
ClaudeThe tax return task has moved four times since September. The bike repair loop has had no update for three weeks.
Keep me honest about this week.
ClaudeYou planned five deep-work blocks and kept two. Both skipped ones were on days with more than four meetings. Want me to plan fewer blocks on those days next week?
Use Claude with your real to-do list
Claude is great at thinking a day through. What a chat can't do as well is keep up over weeks: what's open, how it connects and what's due when. Braindetangler holds that, and Claude works in it.
| Claude on its own | Claude + Braindetangler | |
|---|---|---|
| Memory | Remembers some context about you; your tasks live in chats you have to find again | Loops, tasks and routines in one place Claude reads every time |
| When the AI is closed | Your plan sits in a chat or an artifact you have to open yourself | A Today board, an iPhone app and reminders on your phone |
| Calendar | Calendar events, if you connect your calendar | Time blocks tied to their tasks and loops* |
| Structure | Whatever shape the chat gives it | Loops that connect tasks, notes and people; a backlog that keeps later things out of sight |
*Google Calendar, for now.

What Claude can see
- Claude reaches your Braindetangler data only through the connector you add.
- Braindetangler only sees what Claude sends it when it uses a tool, like a task to add. It never sees your chats.
- Claude's own settings decide what it may do, and when it has to ask you first.
- You can disconnect it any time in Claude's settings.
