Prompts

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built Prompts because writing is how I think, but it’s also where I've learned to doubt my ideas the fastest. I noticed that most of the writing I started but never finished wasn't necessarily bad or off base. I usually found myself stop writing because I felt the writing was getting too real, uncertain, or confusing. As AI writing tools have become better at finishing our thoughts for us, I found myself wanting the opposite: a tool that helps you stay with your own thinking instead of replacing it. Prompts offers quiet, thoughtful questions at the exact moment you're most likely to need them, you can keep writing. But there's a longer story behind this launch. The original version of Prompts launched in 2013! Over the years, the app has been featured by Apple, used by educators and professional writers, and adopted by hundreds of thousands of people. This new version was rewritten from scratch. With an evolved, intelligent algorithm, a Mac-first experience for serious writing, and seamless syncing to iOS. The biggest change, though, is philosophical: more restraint in features, care and craft, and more focus for writers. Prompts is entirely free. No ads, no subscriptions, and I plan to keep investing in it with frequent updates and new features over the coming months. I'd love to hear how others here think about writing, voice, and AI tools that support rather than replace.
