Desktop Steward
Your own computer's files from ChatGPT or Claude: folder rules, confirmations and undo.
ماذا يمكنك أن تفعل مع Desktop Steward؟
- Rules in plain words. You choose which folders Claude may read and which it may change. Everything else is invisible to it.
- Asks before anything risky. Deleting, replacing a file, or moving many files opens a confirmation window on your computer. The model cannot answer it.
- Undo for 7 days. Old versions are kept before a change; deleted files wait in a holding area;
undobrings them back. - Off limits, always. Passwords, keys, browser data, mail, system folders, and anything that runs on double-click. No terminal, no network, no telemetry.
- Ready-made tasks in the chat's + menu: tidy Downloads, find duplicate photos, free disk space, tidy the Desktop, find documents by topic, rename photos by date.

Public core and the official bundle
This repository is the core of Desktop Steward: the file tools, the folder rules, the confirmation step and undo. Everything that touches your files is here and can be audited. The official bundle from desktopsteward.com is built from this core plus extras that are not in this repository: a local panel with Undo buttons, images-to-PDF, zip/unzip, opening files, remote access from the phone (Pro). The extras use the same rules, confirmations and undo as the core.
Build from source
npm install
npm test # builds and runs the test suite
npm run bundle # builds build/desktop-steward-<version>-<platform>.mcpb for this platform
Node.js 22 or newer. The bundle is platform-specific because the bundled search binary (ripgrep) is.
Configuration
Settings live in the Claude Desktop extension panel, or in ~/.desktop-steward/config.json:
| Key | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
readFolders | Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Pictures | Folders Claude may read and search |
writeFolders | Documents/AI Workspace, Downloads | Folders Claude may change |
askBeforeDelete | true | Confirmation window before deleting |
confirmThreshold | 10 | Moving more items than this asks first |
keepHistoryDays | 7 | How long undo copies and deleted files are kept |
Privacy
Desktop Steward reads only the folders you opened to it and keeps copies of changed or deleted files for undo in ~/.desktop-steward on your own computer (7 days by default). The core sends nothing anywhere and has no telemetry. Full policy: Privacy · Security model: Security · Contact: hello@desktopsteward.com
