What Is DeskWink?

DeskWink is a remote MCP connector that lets web AI apps like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini work with folders on your own computer. Pick which folders to share, then let your AI assistant browse, read, search and propose file edits inside them. Every proposed change is previewed for your approval before anything is touched. Sensitive files such as .env and .ssh are blocked by default, and file contents are never stored in its database or logs. Currently in closed beta; free during the beta.
