One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for providing application command recommendations to a privacy-sensitive client device. The technique includes receiving a command log from each general client device included in a plurality of general client devices and analyzing the command logs to generate a command recommendation file. The command recommendation file may indicate a relationship between one or more application commands executed by at least one of the general client devices and one or more application commands that are available for execution by the privacy-sensitive client device. The technique further includes transmitting the command recommendation file to the privacy-sensitive client device.
