Show HN: I built a tool to save and manage AI prompts on my local device

1 ankit21j 2 6/25/2025, 10:18:41 PM github.com ↗

I like most engineers these days, use Cursor, Claude Code and ChatGpt pretty much every day. And when I thought a prompt was good, I would usually save it to my Notion template, often creating templates. I know a lot of people might suggest using rules in cursor or mdc's, but that just became bloated for me.

I love making CLI tools, and while going through this, I thought it would be a cool idea to build a CLI tool to save and manage prompts, all locally so that my data is with me. This resulted in me building PromptForge.

It might seem pretty useless to some, but I thought it would be a nice thing to share if it helps others in their day to day use.

You can find the link to the public installer at: https://github.com/aki21j/promptforge-releases/releases/late... Guide to use it is also available in the same repo.

I used notes and notion both, but my only friction was getting those prompts in the editor or the terminal quickly. This just does that, with I guess better searching and tagging options. :D
