Nudge helper
A small app that connects the Nudge browser extension to your own Claude, running on your computer. Your forms and memory never touch a Nudge server.
Install
The installer sets things up for your user only, with no admin rights. If you're not signed in to Claude yet, it opens claude.ai: approve, copy the code, and paste it into the installer window.
Windows
- Unzip the download somewhere you'll keep it.
- Double-click
install.cmdin the folder. - Open the Nudge extension. It should say Connected.
Where it goes: the helper runs from the unzipped folder. A small manifest is written to
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Nudge
and registered with your browsers in the per-user registry.
Uninstall: double-click uninstall.cmd, then delete the folder.
macOS
- Unzip the download somewhere you'll keep it.
- Open Terminal in that folder and run
./install.sh. - Open the Nudge extension. It should say Connected.
Where it goes: the helper runs from the unzipped folder. Each browser gets a manifest in
~/Library/Application Support/ <browser>/NativeMessagingHosts
If macOS blocks it, run this in the folder first:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine .
Uninstall: run ./uninstall.sh, then delete the folder.
Linux
- Unzip the download somewhere you'll keep it.
- Open a terminal in that folder and run
./install.sh. - Open the Nudge extension. It should say Connected.
Where it goes: the helper runs from the unzipped folder. Each browser gets a manifest in
~/.config/<browser>/ NativeMessagingHosts
Uninstall: run ./uninstall.sh, then delete the folder.
Keep the folder
Your browser starts the helper from where you unzipped it. If you move the folder, run the installer again.
Your own Claude
The helper runs Claude Code signed in with your account. Nothing goes through the developer. Read the privacy policy.
