Hi Product Hunt community! 👋
I'm Aarav, the solo developer behind Prism, and I'm incredibly excited to share it with you all today.
What inspired me to build Prism? Like many of you, I found myself constantly switching back and forth between different browser tabs just to use various AI models for coding, writing, and research. Web-based AI tools felt slow, clunky, broke my focus, and lacked any real integration with my Mac's operating system. I wanted a fast, native tool that fit perfectly into the macOS experience, but existing AI wrappers were either locked to a single model provider or felt like web views inside a container.
The problems I wanted to solve:
- Multi-Model Access in one place: I wanted to switch between Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (ChatGPT), Google (Gemini), Grok, Kimi, and local offline models (via Ollama) instantly under one beautiful, native SwiftUI interface.
- True System-wide Utility: I wanted to quickly pull up AI without breaking my flow. So, I built a Spotlight-like Quick AI Panel (summoned instantly with
Ctrl + Space), a system-wide writing assistant, project knowledge bases, and custom prompt templates. - Power-user Features: Beyond chat, I needed tools that competitors lacked—specifically Model Comparison Mode (sending a prompt to multiple models at once and synthesizing the best parts), local browser automation (Playwright/Puppeteer), and built-in study creators (quizzes and spaced repetition flashcards).
How Prism evolved during development: What started as a simple menu bar shortcut quickly turned into a deep OS-level productivity suite as I integrated developer tools (like the Prism CLI and IDE proxies). As I worked toward this launch, privacy became a top priority, leading me to build robust local-first privacy options, support for private offline models (Ollama & Apple Intelligence), and optional iCloud history sync.
Prism has a permanent free tier, an affordable hosted plan, and a Lifetime License (you can use code SPECIAL25OFF at checkout for 25% off during launch week!).
I’m actively shipping updates based on user feedback. I would love to hear what features you’d like to see next or how Prism can better fit into your day-to-day workflow. Please let me know what you think! 🚀
