DeskWink

DeskWink is a bridge that connects web-based AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini to the files and folders on your local computer or server. Designed for developers and power users, it allows you to use your preferred AI models to read, edit, and manage local files while maintaining strict security through manual human approval for every action.

Key features

• Human-in-the-loop: Every file change proposed by the AI requires your explicit approval before it is executed.
• Cross-platform support: Works on Windows 10/11 and macOS 13+, with support for Linux servers coming soon.
• Model flexibility: Use the best AI models available in your web chat apps without being restricted to specific built-in coding agents.
• Remote access: Start tasks from your phone or web browser that execute directly on your local machine.
• Privacy-focused: No file contents are stored on DeskWink servers.

How it works

2. Pair: Run deskwink launch to link your computer to your DeskWink account.
