Does GraphNotes work with Claude?
Yes, from GraphNotes for Mac, once you turn it on. Turn on Settings › Assistant › Assistant Access, then, in GraphNotes for Mac, choose Add to Claude Desktop… in Settings › Claude. For Claude Code, the same place has the command to copy. Claude then runs GraphNotes for Mac on that Mac whenever it needs your notes. Claude is an assistant made by Anthropic.
Claude can search your library and read your docs, highlights, boards, tags, To Do marks and links, and the pages of your PDFs. It can propose links, notes, highlights, new docs and To Do or Done marks. Each one waits under Proposals in the sidebar until you choose Keep or Dismiss, and nothing in your library changes before that.
Handwriting reaches Claude as the words GraphNotes recognized, never as ink, so Claude may quote words that GraphNotes itself does not show. What Claude reads goes to Anthropic with your conversation, under Anthropic’s privacy policy, and none of it reaches GraphNotes’ developer. Boards other people share with you are left out. Turn on Assistant Access on your iPad or iPhone too, and Claude reads the newest copy, wherever you last wrote. The Privacy Policy has the details.
