Your prompts.
One click.

Stop retyping the same AI instructions. Build a personal prompt library once, pin it to your screen edge, and run any prompt on any selected text — in any macOS app — instantly. That’s real efficiency.

How it works

Three steps. Under 5 seconds.

From rough draft to polished text without ever leaving the app you’re in.

1Step one
👆
Select your text

Highlight any text in any app on your Mac — a browser, email client, Slack, Word, Notes, or anywhere else.

2Step two
⚡️
Click a prompt

Pick from 9 built-in prompts on the Promptape strip — or type your own custom instruction on the spot.

3Step three
AI improves it

The result appears in the panel instantly. Copy it or hit auto-paste to replace your original text in one click.

4Works everywhere
Any app. Every time.

Promptape uses macOS Accessibility APIs — if you can select text in an app, Promptape can improve it.

Features

Built around
your workflow

Every design decision keeps you in flow — not pull you out of it.

🖇
Three states — always the right size

Promptape lives on your screen edge in three states: Close (a tiny 20px pull-tab), Ready (a 52px strip with all prompt icons visible), and Open (a full 280px panel with results and custom input). It never overlaps your work and follows you across monitors automatically.

⌘ Shift P to toggle
🔍
Works in every app

Uses macOS Accessibility APIs to read text from any app — Safari, Chrome, Mail, Outlook, Slack, Word, Pages, Notion, VS Code, and more. No per-app setup, ever.

🎯
9 built-in prompts, ready instantly

Polish text, write a reply, make shorter, make friendly, make formal, fix grammar, simplify, translate to Spanish, translate to French — all ready from day one, no setup required.

✎️
Custom instructions & saved prompts

Type any one-off instruction directly in the panel — free for all users. Pro users can save unlimited custom prompts with icons from 500+ SF Symbols, reorder them via drag-and-drop, and sync across devices via iCloud.

Bring your own AI key

Promptape AI (powered by Llama 3.3 70B via Groq) is free and built-in — no key needed. Pro users can also connect OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, or DeepSeek for per-prompt model selection.

Pro feature
🔒
Your text is never stored.
Your keys are never shared.

Text you process is sent directly to the AI provider and never logged or stored by Promptape. Your API keys (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek) are stored exclusively in the macOS Keychain — the same secure storage used by iCloud and Safari — and never touch Promptape servers.
