Hey everyone! 👋
I’m Eduard, the maker of Desktop Commander — a tool that gives Claude full system access: it can read and edit files, run terminal commands, generate diagrams, automate workflows, optimize websites, and more. Basically, it turns Claude into a real AI assistant.
This started as a personal project because I was tired of tools that kept AI boxed into just writing code. I wanted something that could help with actual dev work — and Desktop Commander has completely changed how I build.
⚡️ Early users have called it "cheating" or "dev superpowers" — and now it's your turn to try it out.
🛠️ Free & open source
💻 Runs inside Claude Desktop ($18/mo, no API/token limits)
🌍 Works offline, with full access to your terminal & files

If you're using Claude, this takes it to a whole new level.
Would love to hear what you think, what you’d build with it — and how we can make it even better. Drop a comment below! 👇
Easy to set up and tremendously useful tool. Thank you for creating it 👏 Keep up the great work Eduard!
