Prompt rewriter — one app for every text box
Updated July 2026
PromptDC Desktop rewrites underspecified requests into clear instructions in any app, every browser, IDE and terminal on macOS or Windows. Select text, press the global shortcut, edit the reviewed result, then Replace or Copy.
Rewrite a vague coding task
fix the search, it is too slow
Improve product-search performance in the Next.js storefront. Start by profiling the existing query in src/server/search.ts and report the bottleneck before changing code. Keep the current API response shape and ranking behavior. Add pagination if it is missing, avoid new dependencies, and include a regression test. Acceptance: the same top 20 results are returned and the test query completes in under 300 ms against the seeded database.
Why the rewrite is better: It names the file, protects current behavior, requires evidence before edits, and turns ‘faster’ into a measurable acceptance test.
Plans from $9/mo, or Lifetime from $69 with your own API key.
More before and after examples
Each rewrite preserves the original intent while making the task clearer and easier to act on.
Rewrite an AI-chat planning request
plan a trip to Lisbon for me
Create a four-day Lisbon itinerary for two adults visiting in October. Budget: €180 per day excluding the hotel. We like local food, architecture, and relaxed neighborhoods more than nightlife. Group stops by area to minimize transit, include one rainy-day alternative each day, and flag anything that normally needs advance booking. Return a morning/afternoon/evening table plus a short estimated daily cost.
Why the rewrite is better: The rewrite supplies dates, budget, preferences, routing constraints, contingencies, and a format the traveler can use immediately.
Rewrite a debugging prompt
why does my React form submit twice
Help me diagnose why this React 19 form’s submit handler runs twice in development. I’ll paste the component and console output next. Separate likely Strict Mode behavior from a real duplicate event listener or request. For each hypothesis, show what evidence to look for and the smallest fix. Do not recommend disabling Strict Mode. End with a five-step verification checklist for development and production builds.
Why the rewrite is better: It identifies the environment, prevents a common non-solution, asks for evidence, and requests a diagnostic sequence instead of a guess.
One desktop install works everywhere with per-app defaults, and PromptDC is the first desktop app to enhance prompts inside the terminal. The Code profile adds outcomes, context, boundaries and a definition of done for Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI and Grok, while writing profiles handle everyday text. Chrome adds in-place web rewriting and per-website profiles; optional IDE extensions add target-agent selection and Simple or Structured output.
Frequently asked questions
What does a prompt rewriter change?
It adds the goal, missing context, constraints, and a useful output format while preserving the original intent. For code, it can also add target files, edge cases, and acceptance criteria.
Can it rewrite everyday writing and coding prompts?
Yes. The writing profiles improve everyday text and general AI questions. The Code profile creates implementation-ready prompts for AI code generation.
Can I rewrite a prompt on this page?
This page is a curated before-and-after showcase, not a public rewriter. PromptDC is a paid desktop app for macOS and Windows, with Chrome and IDE extensions available as additions.
