A tiny native macOS menu bar app for the prompts you type ten times a day. Local-only, free, native — no account, no telemetry.
You're driving five AI agents in parallel — and typing the same prompts a hundred times a day.
That's the whole product.
No global hotkey to memorize. No folders to maintain. No tags to tag.
Always one click away. No global hotkey ceremony, no launcher to open first.
Drop placeholders in any snippet. A small HUD asks for each value before copy.
Pin favorites at the top. Order them however you actually use them.
Instant filter on title and body. No folders, no tags, no taxonomy to maintain.
One file on disk. Edit it in Obsidian, version it in git, sync via iCloud Drive — your call.
No sign-up. No telemetry. No SaaS dependency. Your snippets never leave your Mac.
Branch names, issue IDs, file paths, dates — anything you'd otherwise paste in by hand.
When you copy a snippet, PromptShelf detects every {{variable}} and shows a small HUD asking for each value. Hit return, and the rendered text lands on your clipboard.
Zero network requests. No account. No telemetry. No analytics ping when you open the popover. The JSON file lives in your Application Support folder — and that's the entire backend.
PromptShelf is free. It will always be free. Grab it for macOS, drop in your prompts, and get back to work.
