Prompt library

Draft

Designer & Developer / 2025

Small, fast desktop app for storing and reusing prompts—local-first data on disk, no account or backend; global hotkey opens a search palette for quick copy.

Shipped macOS and Windows builds with search, filters, stars, themes, and import/export—users keep full control of data via open folder and JSON portability.

Problem

Cloud prompt managers add friction; notes apps are fragile.

Power users needed instant reuse across tools without accounts, telemetry, or sync complexity—local storage had to stay transparent and portable.

Build

Desktop shell with hotkey-first retrieval.

Implemented titled prompts with tags and collections, instant search, filters, quick copy, light/dark/system themes, and JSON import/export with open-data-folder access.

Outcome

Stays out of the way; data stays on the machine.

A focused utility for grabbing the right prompt from anywhere with minimal ceremony—aligned with local-first privacy expectations.
