Set Up Your Capsul
Zero to a working dashboard in about 10–15 minutes.
What You Need
MyCapsul/ directory inside it.Download & Set Up
One zip. No installer, no app store.
Download the Zip
Get mycapsul-v1.5.2.zip from MyCapsul.com.
Place It in Your Folder
Move the zip into the folder where MyCapsul should live — Documents is a fine default. Don't unzip it; your agent does that.
Create Your Capsul
One conversation from here to a working dashboard.
Open Cowork and Select Your Folder
Open a new Cowork session in Claude Desktop and, when prompted, select the folder holding the zip.
Run Setup
Say "Unzip and set up my MyCapsul". Your agent unzips, scaffolds the workspace, and starts onboarding.
Walk Through the Onboarding Wizard
When your dashboard opens for the first time, a 5-step setup wizard asks for your name, color palette, schedule type, key people, life areas, and how you want to track money. About 2 minutes. Every step is skippable; your agent picks up the rest in your first conversation.
Open Your Dashboard
After setup, you'll have a file called mycapsul.html in your folder. Open it in a browser. That's the dashboard, running entirely on your machine.
The zip itself is packed as a plugin (docs/, README.md, commands/, skills/mycapsul/…). Your agent builds the MyCapsul/ folder below from it.

Your First Real Session
What a normal session looks like.
Start a Cowork Session
Open a Cowork session and select your MyCapsul folder. Your agent reads last session's handoff and picks up where it left off.
Talk About Your Life
"I spent $30 on lunch." "I have a meeting Thursday at 3." "My energy is low today." Your agent updates the knowledge base and dashboard as you talk; refresh the dashboard to see it.
Not sure what to say? Check out the Prompt Cookbook has dozens of examples by category.
Sync Your Dashboard
Your agent's changes go to a push file. Open or refresh the dashboard to pull them in. (Live 5-second updates only work if you serve the folder over http — opened directly, it's refresh-only.)
capsul-sync.json and your agent picks it up from Downloads next session. Then tell your agent to "sync from the dashboard."mycapsul-demo.html — sample data for a fictional user named Brodie. When you're ready, open the clean mycapsul.html.
