Menu bar app that helps learn prompting and refine your AI prompts from anywhere on your Mac.
A bit of background, I just started using AI for a few weeks now for work and I still have problems with prompting due to lack of experience (I often missed important details to add into the prompts).
I looked around for prompt refinement tools but they are not free. I just don't want to spend additional money just for prompting so I decided to build my own. To clarify, I don't really code and I used Claude as my coding assistant throughout the whole thing; from writing the Python codes, fixed the bugs, installation on my mac.
You copy your rough prompt (from anywhere on your Mac), click the ✦ on menu bar, give it a few seconds to rewrite it into something clear and actionable, then you paste it wherever you need it. For my personal use, I chose to run it on DeepSeek V4 Flash because it's super cheap and more than enough for the task. Feel free to customise and use your own API of choice.
A small caveat, this tools is aimed for beginner and it does not read your entire codebase to produce a heuristic prompt. Feel free to see demo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2V6oFk7-Fw8) and give it a try at github.com/Apekusay/BarPrompter
Hope it helps you learn prompting better!
