Products that do what Hodor – a 701KB native macOS prompt launcher for AI tools does
Hodor is a tiny macOS app that launches saved AI prompts into any text field — from the screen edge, keyboard shortcut, or keyword such as ;git. I work with different AI tools every day, and had prompts scattered across Raycast snippets, Apple Notes, and Notion — notes that kept getting longer and unmanageable. Raycast snippets are useful, but cumbersome to browse and edit. I wanted one local place to save and review them, and one click to paste them into whatever AI tool I'm using.

Hi HN! We’re Akilan and Miguel, the creators of MarbleOS. The inspiration for Marble comes from the GUI work at Xerox PARC, the 1984 Macintosh, and later NeXTSTEP, which became the foundation for Mac OS X. Before GUIs, interacting with a computer was limited to strange terminal commands: C:\> DIR C:\> COPY FILE.TXT A: You had to remember the command, syntax, paths, and parameters. The GUI made those capabilities visible. Instead of remembering commands, you could point at files, drag them, click buttons, and select actions from menus.
