I wanted to share a desktop client I've been building: DWN.BRIDGE (fully open-source C# WPF).

I love using AI for data analysis (like cleaning CSVs or querying databases), but there was no way I was going to upload my private/corporate files to cloud LLMs.

So I built a Zero-Knowledge local bridge:

  • When you point the client to a local database (SQL Server, SQLite, Excel, CSV), the client extracts ONLY the table schemas/headers locally.
  • It sends the schema metadata to the LLM (Gemini web UI) via a secure browser-automation bridge.
  • The LLM writes the SQL query, and the client executes it locally on your computer. Your raw rows and records never leave your hard drive.
  • All local file system access and system commands run locally and require explicit pop-up confirmation.

You can check out the source code or download the installer below. I'd love to get feedback on the local sandboxing model!

Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality. The distinction between the former and the latter categories is often revealed by the acronym chosen.
