Repo Prompt

Repo Prompt is a sophisticated desktop application designed to bridge the gap between developers and AI, functioning as an essential 'AI Coding Swiss Army Knife'. Its primary goal is to solve the critical challenge of context in AI-assisted development. By providing AI models with a deep and accurate understanding of your codebase, Repo Prompt enables developers to build software faster, more efficiently, and with greater accuracy. It operates 100% locally, guaranteeing the privacy and security of your code. The tool is not meant to replace your favorite IDE but to supercharge it, integrating seamlessly with editors like Cursor and Claude Code via its innovative Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server.

How to use Repo Prompt

The workflow in Repo Prompt is designed for simplicity and power. First, you open your project repository (or multiple repositories) within the application's intuitive interface. You can then use the visual file tree to manually select relevant files or leverage the 'AI Context Builder' to automatically identify the necessary context for your task. This curated context, which can include code snippets, file structures, and dependencies, is then used to generate a highly efficient prompt. You can interact with this context directly in Repo Prompt's multi-model AI chat or send it to a connected AI editor. For applying changes, the 'Apply Mode' allows you to implement multi-file edits (creations, modifications, deletions) suggested by the AI with a single action, streamlining the refactoring process.

Core Features of Repo Prompt

• Visual Context Engineering: A user-friendly file tree interface to visually build the perfect context for AI tasks, with instant file previews and project-wide search.
• MCP Server Integration: Transforms Repo Prompt into a powerful backend for external AI editors like Cursor, syncing context and enabling advanced capabilities through over 15 specialized tools.
• Code Maps & AI Context Builder: Intelligently scans your entire codebase locally to map out classes, functions, and references. It automatically finds the most relevant files for your task, reducing token usage and improving AI comprehension.
• Multi-Model AI Chat: Natively supports a wide range of local and hosted LLMs, including models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, and more. Users can bring their own API keys for maximum flexibility.
• Apply Mode: Directly apply AI-generated code changes across multiple files, including creating, modifying, and deleting files, which significantly speeds up refactoring.
• Cross-Repository Intelligence: Uniquely capable of analyzing and managing context across multiple Git repositories simultaneously, ideal for complex microservices architectures.
• Prompt Library: Save, organize, and reuse effective prompts across different projects to maintain consistency and efficiency.

Use Cases for Repo Prompt

Repo Prompt is versatile and valuable for various development scenarios. It excels at large-scale code refactoring, where changes span numerous files or even multiple repositories. For developers new to a project, it can rapidly build context to help them understand a complex codebase. It's also a powerful tool for debugging, allowing the AI to analyze interactions between different components. Furthermore, it's ideal for architectural planning, where developers can consult with advanced reasoning models like GPT-4o or Claude 3.5 Sonnet for high-level strategic guidance. Any task that requires the AI to have a deep, holistic view of the code is a perfect use case for Repo Prompt.

Advantages of Repo Prompt

The main advantage of Repo Prompt is its ability to create highly optimized, low-token context, which leads to faster AI responses, significant cost savings on API calls (up to 80% less token usage), and more accurate results. Its 'local-first' approach ensures complete code privacy. Unlike monolithic AI IDEs, Repo Prompt enhances your existing workflow rather than forcing you to switch tools. Its MCP Server provides unparalleled interoperability, making your favorite editor smarter. The freedom to use any supported AI model provider prevents vendor lock-in and allows for cost-effective task delegation to different models based on complexity.

Pricing and Plans

Repo Prompt offers a freemium model with a generous free tier and a powerful pro upgrade.

• Free Tier ($0): Includes core features like the Mac-native UX, clipboard & chat with a 32k token limit, multi-repo workspaces, advanced search, a prompt library, and Apply Mode. It supports connecting to various models with your own API key.
• Pro Plan: Available as a monthly subscription ($14.99/month), yearly subscription ($149/year), or a lifetime license ($219 special, regularly $249). The Pro plan removes all token limits and adds advanced features like the AI Context Builder, CodeMaps, Pro API Delegation, and the crucial MCP Server Integration. A single license can be used on up to 3 machines.

Special discounts are available for students and teams. Students can email from a .edu address for a discount code, and volume discounts are offered for team orders.
