What is Hodor?

Hodor is a lightweight native macOS application that simplifies access to saved AI prompts. Instead of manually typing out lengthy prompt instructions each time you interact with ChatGPT, Claude, or other AI tools, you save prompts in Hodor and trigger them with a single keystroke or gesture. The app sits quietly in your menu bar until needed, then pastes your prompt into any web-based AI tool. At just 701KB, it adds minimal overhead to your system. As an open source project, you can inspect the code, suggest improvements, or adapt it to your workflow without licensing restrictions.

Pros & cons

Advantages

  • Completely free with no subscription or feature paywalls
  • Extremely lightweight, does not consume meaningful system resources
  • Works immediately without configuration; create and use prompts straight away
  • Compatible with any web-based AI tool, not locked to specific platforms
  • Open source allows inspection, customisation, and community contributions
  • One-gesture access reduces friction when switching between prompts and AI tools

Limitations

  • macOS only; Windows and Linux users cannot use this tool
  • Designed for web-based AI tools, not desktop or API-based applications
  • Requires you to manually create and maintain your own prompt library
  • Pasting into web tools means no direct API integration or automation
  • No cloud sync; prompts stored locally and not backed up across devices
  • Niche use case; most benefit for users who repeatedly send similar prompts
