Why Local Commander
See what actually happened.
Every request shows which computer ran it and how it ended: done, failed or unknown.
Parallel work without collisions.
Independent tasks run side by side. Work on the same folder waits its turn.
Unknown stays unknown.
If a computer drops mid-task, the work is never re-run on a guess. It waits for you in Needs attention.
You choose the access.
Full access to your Windows account or only the folders you pick. Block commands, revoke a computer or an AI client any time.
Set it up once. Then just ask.

Before you install
Can I use this from my phone while I'm away?
Yes, through a supported AI app or website connected to Local Commander. Send a request while you're a passenger, on a train or on a flight with internet access. The Windows computer you ask to work must be awake, online and running the paired agent.
Can it find my work tasks or family plans?
Your AI can work with notes and files available on the computer you choose. If the information lives in a calendar, email or task service, your AI needs a separate connection to that service or a saved export. Connecting a PC does not automatically connect those accounts.
Can I help someone else with their computer?
Yes, with their permission and the agent installed and paired with your Local Commander account. For example, ask your AI to investigate a VPN problem and help with a fix. The computer needs a working internet connection; if it is offline, someone there must reconnect it first.
What can my AI touch?
What you choose at setup: full access to your Windows account, or only the folders you pick. You can block specific commands and remove access at any time.
Can I stop it?
Yes. Ask your AI to cancel its work, stop the agent on that computer, or remove the computer’s access in your dashboard.
Does my data go through your servers?
Commands and their results pass through our service to reach your AI. The privacy policy explains what is kept and for how long.
Is it a sandbox?
No. Work runs with the permissions of your Windows account. For stronger isolation, run the agent under a separate Windows user.
What do I need to install?
Windows 11 x64 and Node.js 20 or later. No Docker, WSL or Git checkout. Tools your projects use, such as Git or Python, are installed separately.
