Sentinel for Windows

The Sentinel Windows app is the fastest way to protect a Windows machine. A single installer runs a local Sentinel gateway as a background service, points your AI tools at it, and adds a tray icon showing whether you're protected — no Docker, no Python, and no secret to copy. It's the Windows alternative to the CLI and Docker paths.

You'll need a SUPERWISE® account.

1. Download the installer

Download the Sentinel for Windows installer — it installs just for you, no admin rights needed.

2. Install and connect

Run the installer, then open SUPERWISE® Sentinel from the Start menu.
On first run the app opens your browser to approve this device. Sign in and confirm — you'll see Access Approved. There's no API secret to copy: the app enrolls the device with your account.
Back in the app, the Dashboard shows a green Protected banner and your connected Sentinel.

That's it. Your AI tools now route through the local gateway — open a new terminal and run a tool like Claude Code, and its traffic is inspected and guardrails applied before anything leaves the machine.

Your new gateway also appears in the Sentinels list in the SUPERWISE® app, where an admin can manage its guardrails like any other Sentinel.

The app

The app lives in the notification-area tray — closing the window hides it there rather than quitting. Its tabs:

Dashboard — whether you're protected, the active Sentinel's name, when it connected, and this device's identity. Run check re-tests the connection.
Protection — pause or resume protection, and see which guardrails are being enforced.
Tools — the AI tools detected on the machine (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and more) and whether Sentinel is enforcing for each.
Diagnostics — status details you can copy or download, plus a self-test of the local gateway.
About — version information, and links to the documentation and Terms of Service.
