Clotr for Windows

The browser extension guards one chat box. This guards the PC, from the AI apps you paste into to the old files sitting in Downloads, and it does all of it with the internet off.

Clotr for Windows' Home. A shield beside the words All quiet, the copy check on for 3 AI apps, and buttons to run a quick scan or choose a scan. Below are Check my files and Look back, the protection switches and this month's counts.

A warning before you paste

Clotr sits in the tray. Copy something while the ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot app is in front, and if it holds a password, an API key, a card number or an ID number, a card shows up beside the app before you paste. You can hide the detail or paste it as it is. Commands get the same check right before they reach the Run box or a terminal, because a pasted command can carry a key too.

Check my files

A Quick scan reads Downloads, Desktop, Documents and Pictures, a Full scan reads every drive, and Folders I choose reads only what you pick. You watch it work as a web of folders, and anything worth a look stays on screen.

It skips the folders that belong to programs and a password manager's own vault. Leave out of scans, in Settings, takes any other folder off the list.

The Scan screen shows a folder map from This PC through Desktop, Documents and Downloads. A card points at aws-credentials.csv with an AWS Access Key, and secrets.json, .env and IMG_0912.jpg appear below as worth a look, with seven more listed.

What to do first

Results don't stop at a list of files. They start with the worst thing and say what to do about it, like changing the passwords a file holds before deleting it, or saving a copy of a photo without its place.

Tick a step off once it's done. Clotr remembers that you did it, and nothing about the file.

Results, under the heading What to do first. Step one, change the passwords and keys these files hold, then delete or move the files, for logins.txt on the Desktop. Step two, delete or move the files with ID numbers. Step three, remove the place from these photos. Each step has How to do this, Open the folder and Mark as done.

One file at a time

If a list of steps feels like a lot, Walk me through it shows one file at a time. It says in a sentence what's wrong with it and what Clotr recommends, and puts the safest choice at the top.

Skip one for now, or go back to the whole list whenever you like.

Results as a walk, file 1 of 3. A password or key, on the Desktop. In short, logins.txt holds a password or key that still works. Clotr recommends changing it wherever it's used, then deleting or moving the file. Below, five choices, with Move to the Recycle Bin marked Recommended, then Ask for help and Skip for now.

A note for the person who helps you

If someone else looks after your computer, Clotr can write them a page with what it found and what it suggests, worst first. It holds counts and folders, never the details themselves, and file names only if you switch them on.

Print it, save it as a page, or open it in your email to send.

A note for the person who helps you, open over Results. Include file names is off. A table lists three files worth a look, a password or key in a plain file on the Desktop, an ID number in a document and a photo that shows where it was taken, each with what Clotr recommends, then the steps.

Also inside

  • Three looks in Settings, called Light, Plum and Ember.

It stays on your PC

Clotr for Windows has no account and no server to talk to. A test reads the program Windows runs and fails the build if a network call ever shows up in it. What it reads and keeps
