Installing the desktop app

The GetBusy Desktop App makes it quicker and easier for you to access GetBusy on your computer.

Download

To download the GetBusy Desktop app for Windows or Mac, go to https://app.getbusy.com/downloads, and select the appropriate option for your operating system.

If you are signed into the GetBusy Web app, you can also download the Desktop apps from Apps, which is available from the main menu.

Installation

Once you've downloaded the installer, simply double-click it to install GetBusy. The app will launch automatically when the installation finishes.

Make sure to pin the desktop app shortcut to your Windows taskbar or Mac dock for easy ongoing access.

Once you have installed, launched and signed in to the app, you'll start receiving push notifications so that you don't miss a thing!

Updates

The app automatically lets you know when new versions are available and automatically installs updates when the app is fully closed.

Deployment in managed environments

Most specific to Microsoft Windows enviornments - the GetBusy desktop app is a user profile application, not a machine wide application, so you don't need any elevated persmissions to install or run it.

If your environment is managed for you, perhaps provisioned by a third party using technology like Citrix or Microsoft Remote Desktop Services, you shouldn't need your provider to deploy GetBusy, but we'd recommend letting them know of your intentions as a courtesy.
