About PromptDC
PromptDC is a desktop app for macOS and Windows, organized around writing profiles, that rewrites text wherever you type. You select text in any app, browser, IDE or terminal, press a keyboard shortcut, review the editable rewrite and then replace the original or copy the result.
It handles both everyday writing and coding prompts. Writing profiles cover grammar fixes, emails, replies, social posts, summaries, explanations and tone changes. A code profile converts a loose request into a prompt ready for building, aimed at AI code generation, and can output it as simple or structured text in regular, JSON, XML or YAML format.
An optional Chrome extension rewrites editable fields in place and supports per-website profiles, and optional IDE extensions cover AI chat panels in editors such as Cursor and VS Code. The homepage presents it as a Grammarly alternative that also works on AI prompts.
