Enterprise coverage for native AI desktop clients.
The LogosGuard enterprise desktop app extends the same policy engine, the same audit-log shape, and the same warn / redact / block / allow logic to native AI desktop clients (ChatGPT desktop, Claude desktop) and command-line AI tools that bypass the browser. One admin console covers both the browser and the desktop.
Some employee AI usage happens outside the browser. Native AI clients and command-line AI tools live outside the extension's reach. The desktop app closes that gap.
Why a desktop app exists.
Most employee AI usage is in the browser, but the rest is not, and the rest is often the highest-value usage. Research teams using the native ChatGPT or Claude desktop apps for full-context conversations. SREs piping logs into terminal-based AI tools. Engineering teams running CLI AI assistants outside the browser.
A browser-only DLP cannot see any of that. The desktop app extends the same LogosGuard policy engine to those surfaces by hooking paste, type, and upload at the OS layer.
When to deploy the desktop app.
- Teams that adopted native ChatGPT or Claude desktop apps: full-screen, focused AI workflows that live outside the browser.
- Workflows where users paste from terminal: log lines, stack traces, config snippets that end up in AI tools.
- Command-line AI assistants: CLI tools that invoke ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini APIs outside the browser.
- Organizations with a dedicated DLP backstop: pair the enterprise browser extension + desktop app for full surface coverage.
How desktop detection works.
- 1
OS-level hook
The desktop component hooks paste, type, and file-upload events at the OS layer for supported AI clients. Captured text is sent to your LogosGuard deployment for detection.
- 2
Same policy engine
The same rules that govern the enterprise browser extension apply on the desktop. A redaction rule for source code is enforced identically whether the user is in claude.ai or in the Claude desktop client.
- 3
Same warn / redact / block / allow
The user gets the same in-context coaching: see what was flagged, redact with one click, edit, or accept.
- 4
Same audit log
Every event flows to the same audit log. User, AI tool, policy, data classes, action, without retaining the underlying content.
Coverage matrix.
- Operating systems: macOS Sonoma+, Windows 11+.
- Native AI desktop clients: ChatGPT desktop, Claude desktop.
- Command-line AI tools: supported as configured, scoped to specific binaries to avoid surprises.
Same policy engine as the extension.
The desktop app is not a separate product with a separate console. It uses the same policy engine, the same data-class detectors, and the same audit-log shape as the enterprise browser extension. Configure once in the LogosGuard admin console; the rules apply across both surfaces. See the enterprise browser extension for the equivalent in-browser surface.
