Description

DeskSentry is a Windows-based automation tool that observes designated areas on the screen using local optical character recognition (OCR) and executes predefined actions when specific text or events occur. This versatile application can respond to various triggers, including alterations on the screen, changes in files and folders, clipboard activity, running applications, log file updates, hotkey activations, and scheduled tasks. Its actions range from sending alerts to communication platforms like Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, or via email, to posting updates through webhooks, launching applications, simulating keystrokes, managing dialog controls, and writing information into SQL databases. The actions dictated by the rules can utilize parameters captured by a trigger, such as recognized text or file names. DeskSentry also logs rule activities and captures screenshots locally while keeping rules and settings stored directly on the Windows machine. Notably, it does not require any user accounts and operates without telemetry or cloud services for executing rules, with the only server interaction being for license verification. This application is designed for use by administrators, quality assurance teams, and laboratory staff who need to automate or monitor Windows applications that lack appropriate APIs, thereby enhancing productivity and efficiency in their workflow.

Description

DeskWink facilitates the connection of compatible web-based AI assistants to designated folders on a user's device via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It employs a local command-line interface (CLI) that works alongside a remote MCP endpoint, enabling clients such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini to efficiently browse, read, search files, and suggest modifications. Before implementing any changes, DeskWink presents these proposed edits for user approval, ensuring control over the editing process. Users have the flexibility to select which folders they want to share, while sensitive directories and files like .env and .ssh are automatically restricted to maintain security. Importantly, DeskWink does not retain any file contents in its database or logs. Currently, DeskWink is in a closed beta phase, with restrictions allowing up to two computers and a maximum of 5,000 AI actions monthly. This service is particularly aimed at developers and professionals seeking AI assistants to enhance their interaction with local project or work directories. Comprehensive documentation is available for the Windows and macOS CLI, facilitating easy access and implementation for users. Additionally, the service promises to evolve based on user feedback gathered during the beta testing phase.
