Life Admin & HomeDone with Claude computer use Apr 1, 2025
Organize a desktop folder with computer use
A commenter told Claude computer use to organize a folder and said it finished without many clarifying questions.
- What They Did
- The source is a Reddit post by someone comparing Anthropic’s new computer-use feature with OpenClaw on a Mac. The only concrete account of this use case is the poster saying they told Claude to organize a folder and it completed the desktop task without asking many follow-up questions; they also frame Claude’s approach as simulating a person at the keyboard.
- How It Went
- The reported result was simply that it worked well for a quick desktop task. The thread gives no step-by-step breakdown, no prompt, and no measurable outcome beyond the commenter’s positive impression.
- Worth Knowing
- The main catch from the thread is platform scope: the poster says Claude’s computer use was Mac-only at the time.
Try it yourself with Claude computer use
Please organize the folder at [folder path, e.g. Desktop or Downloads]. Sort the files into sensible subfolders by [type, date, or project], rename obvious duplicates or unclear names only if it's clearly safe, and don't delete anything. When you're finished, give me a summary of the new structure and what moved where, and ask me before touching anything you're unsure about.
