PromptShelf
Prompt snippets in menu bar
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
PromptShelf is a tiny native menu bar app for your AI prompt library.
If you live inside Claude Code, ChatGPT, Cursor, Conductor or any other prompt-driven workflow, you already know the friction: typing the same prompts ("review the codebase", "fix lint errors and rerun tests", "open a PR for branch X") dozens of times a day.
PromptShelf puts those prompts one click away. A small icon in your menu bar opens a popover with your library. Click → copied. Paste with Cmd+V wherever you need it.
That's the whole product.
KEY FEATURES
• Menu bar popover — always one click away, no global hotkey ceremony, no launcher to open.
• Variable templates — drop {{placeholders}} like {{branch}} or {{file}} in your prompts. PromptShelf asks for each value in a small HUD before copy.
• Pin your favorites — keep the prompts you use most at the top, and drag to reorder.
• Search-as-you-type — find the right snippet instantly.
• Plain JSON storage — your snippets live in a single readable file. Edit it in Obsidian, version it in git, sync it with iCloud Drive if you want.
• Zero cloud, zero account — no sign-up, no telemetry, no SaaS dependency. Your prompts never leave your Mac unless you put them somewhere yourself.
• Native Swift / SwiftUI — no Electron, no Chromium bundle, no JS runtime.
• Free, forever — no trial, no paywall, no Pro tier.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Click the menu bar icon.
2. Click "+" to add a snippet — title plus body, with optional {{variables}}.
3. Click any snippet → text is copied. Paste it where you need it.
There is no step 4.
PRIVACY
PromptShelf makes zero network calls. It does not collect, transmit, or share any data. Your snippets stay in your home directory.
REQUIREMENTS
• macOS 14 (Sonoma) or newer
