Desktop steward
Claude connectorCommunityYour own computer's files in Claude: folder rules, a confirmation before risky steps, and undo for every change.
Desktop Steward lets Claude work with the files on your own Mac or Windows computer, inside folders you chose: list, search and read files (text, PDF, Word, images), write and edit, create folders, move and rename, find duplicate photos, see what uses disk space, combine scans into one PDF, zip and unzip.
What keeps it safe: the free Desktop Steward app on your computer only exposes the folders you opened. Deleting, replacing a file or moving many files opens a confirmation window on the computer that Claude cannot click, and every change can be undone for 7 days, from the chat or from the local panel. The relay between Claude and your computer passes requests through and stores no file content.
Setup: install the app from desktopsteward.com, press Turn on in its panel, add this connector in Claude and type the 8-digit code shown on your computer. Free for 7 days on every computer, then Desktop Steward Pro ($10/month, up to 3 computers).
Desktop steward is #4,833 of 11,065 Claude connectors by popularity, up 2,831 places in a week.
