Save AI prompts, search them, and reuse them instantly.
English · 日本語
Cue is a desktop app for saving and reusing the prompts you send to AI tools like Claude Code, Codex, and ChatGPT. Save a prompt with a hotkey, search for it later, and click it to copy.
Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- Launcher: Open with a global hotkey, search, and click an item to copy it.
- Projects: Group prompts, with an "All" view across them.
- Markdown: Each prompt supports Markdown, and you can switch between editing and preview.
- Organize: Search, pin, drag to reorder, and a context menu (rename, copy, preview, edit, pin, delete).
- Always on top: Keep the window above other apps.
- Backup and sync: Export and import all data as one JSON file, or sync to a private Git repository you own.
- Themes and languages: Light and dark themes, accent colors, text size, and 14 languages.
- Local storage: Data is kept in a local SQLite file. Nothing is sent anywhere unless you set up Git sync.

Your data is stored in a local SQLite database (cue.db) under the OS app data directory, for example %APPDATA%\com.cue.app on Windows. Cue does not make any network calls on its own. If you turn on Git sync, it pushes only to the private repository URL you provide, using your own git credentials.
