Five steps, all on your own computer.

1. Write your goal

   Describe what the project is for in a few sentences. Deewanji uses it to show the findings that matter most first.

2. Add your project folder

   Choose a folder or single files: text and Markdown notes (.txt, .md), CSV data files (you can search them, but they do not add findings), Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx) and PDF files, saved emails (.eml) with their attachments, WhatsApp chat exports, or a conversation you paste in. Pictures and scanned PDFs are listed but not read. Your original files are only read, never changed. Add the folder again later and only what changed is read again.

3. Review what it found

   Deewanji picks out likely decisions, tasks, constraints, rejected options and open questions. The review queue shows the most important and newest ones first, 50 at a time, and tells you how many there are in all. You approve, edit or ignore each one, or many at once. Nothing counts as settled until you approve it.

4. Keep it honest

   When two sources give different amounts or dates for the same thing, Deewanji flags it. When a decision changes, you mark the old one as replaced and give a reason, and both stay on record.

5. Continue the project

   The Continue project page brings together your goal, progress, constraints, rejected options, file locations, questions and next action. Summaries are written in whole sentences, without stray formatting symbols. Suggested next steps come from your latest handoff file and are marked Deewanji suggestion · not checked until you save them. Copy or download the handoff and paste it into a fresh AI chat, or send it to a colleague.

Every item has a source

Each finding links back to the file and line it came from, so you can always check where it was said. The Sources page lists the files Deewanji read, says how many it skipped, and lets you download the list.

Optional: AI drafting

Deewanji can ask Anthropic's Claude to help draft parts of your handoff. This is off by default, and everything else works without it.

• It uses your own Claude API key from Anthropic. Anthropic bills your API account directly; Deewanji charges nothing.
• Before anything is sent you see a preview of the exact text and an estimated cost. A monthly spending limit you set stops requests that would go over it.
• When you press Send, that text leaves your PC and is processed by Anthropic's API under Anthropic's own terms and policies.
• Your key is kept in Windows Credential Manager, not in your project files or backups.

See Privacy for what is stored and where.

Optional: use Deewanji in Claude

With the Deewanji extension for the Claude desktop app (Windows), you can open a chat and say “Using Deewanji, continue my project X. Start with the handoff.” Claude then reads your handoff instead of starting from nothing.

• Read-only. Claude can list your projects, read the handoff (CP.md and EP.md), search the findings and file text, and read one file. It cannot change your projects or your files.
• It runs on your PC. The extension reads the Deewanji folder on your own computer. Nothing is uploaded to us, and we receive nothing.
• What Claude sees. Only the answers Claude asks for in that chat. Those answers are part of your conversation with Claude and are handled under Anthropic's terms and your Claude plan. Passwords, keys and tokens are hidden in every answer.
• No API key needed. It uses your normal Claude chat, not the optional AI drafting above.

To install it:

1. Get the file

   The extension file is Deewanji-Claude-Connector.mcpb. It comes with your installer link.

2. Open the Claude desktop app

   Go to Settings, then Extensions, then Advanced settings, and choose Install Extension. Pick the file and press Install. Make sure it is switched on.

3. Ask Claude

   Start a new chat and say “Using Deewanji, list my projects.” If you used the older “Connect to Claude app” button in Deewanji, use one or the other, not both.

Deewanji for Windows must be installed and have at least one saved project.
