PromptBoard

Your local prompt library — fast, offline, tray-ready.

Note

Disambiguation: file-bricks/promptboard is a native local-first Windows desktop tray application (Python & PySide6) designed for offline LLM prompt management and local Markdown materialization. It is not a cloud web service, SaaS platform, or browser extension.

Tip

PromptBoard is a fast desktop utility and Windows tray application for reusable LLM building blocks: prompts, skills, workflows, roles, and agents. Unlike larger prompt managers, the focus is not on versioning or complex board systems, but on rapid access: open, filter, copy, edit directly, and materialize as .md files when needed. Your prompt libraries stay offline, searchable, and copy-ready without requiring a cloud account or external API connections.

Status

Phase: public release (v1.1.1), store and platform hardening active in local development
Code: PySide6 desktop application with 116/116 passing pytest tests

CI: PromptBoard tests running Windows Pytest and macOS/Linux source smoke checks
Repository: file-bricks/promptboard

The local README preview and the four store views are generated directly from the live UI state.

These store screenshots can be reproducibly regenerated via _tools/generate_store_screenshots.py.

Key Features & Goals

PromptBoard serves as a compact tray tool for managing local knowledge blocks:

• Prompts
• Skills
• Workflows
• Roles
• Agents

Every entry is directly editable, sortable by type and name, and copyable to the clipboard with a single click. A right-click option lets you materialize an entry as a clean Markdown file (.md) to a configured location (defaulting to the Desktop). The exported file is content-focused: H1 header, compact metadata block, followed by the actual prompt text.

Global hotkeys allow you to show/hide the tray window and quickly copy the last used entry.

Comparison

• Lighter than ProfiPrompt: No large version history or heavy board system at the core.
• More Robust than AutoPrompter: No fragile keyboard or daemon hook logic.
• More Private than Cloud Tools: Purely offline, no account sync, external APIs, or telemetry.

Next Steps

The next primary focus is completing the Store-P1 path: entering real Partner Center values and documenting the elevated WACK run against releases/PromptBoard.msix. The macOS/Linux source smoke tests are now integrated into the project and CI pipeline.

Running the Project

python -m pip install -e ".[dev]"
python src\promptboard.py

Under Windows, you can alternatively start the app by double-clicking start.bat.
