PromptPaste is a native Apple app that lets you save, organize, and instantly paste AI prompts from a Mac menu bar overlay or iOS share sheet. Hit ⌘⇧P anywhere on Mac and your entire prompt library is accessible without switching apps or hunting through notes. The app supports dynamic templates using {{variable}} placeholders so prompts can be customized at paste-time, folder-based organization, iCloud sync across all Apple devices, and link-based sharing of prompt collections. Crucially, everything is stored locally — no account required, no cloud sync of your actual prompts outside of iCloud. Built by indie developer Ivan Terehin, PromptPaste fills a genuine gap: most people accumulate dozens of AI prompts scattered across notes, docs, and chat history. Works with every major AI platform — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Midjourney, GitHub Copilot, and more.

Travel Hacking Toolkit is an MCP-based skills layer that teaches AI assistants how to search award flights, compare loyalty program valuations, and surface hotel points deals in natural language. Built by Michael Borohovski and posted as a Show HN, it connects Claude Code and OpenCode to live travel APIs including Seats.aero, SerpAPI, Duffel, and AwardWallet through structured markdown "skills" files that teach the AI how to call each service. The toolkit includes MCP servers for Skiplagged, Kiwi.com, Trivago, Ferryhopper, and Airbnb, enabling queries like "find me a 60,000-mile business class flight to Tokyo and compare it to cash prices." Static data files encode airline alliance structures, hotel chain partner awards, historical sweet spots, and community-sourced valuations—giving the AI grounded knowledge rather than hallucinated redemption values. The project is deliberately low-abstraction: skills are readable markdown files you can edit to add new programs or APIs, and it requires no persistent backend. With 205 stars from a Show HN debut, it's a small but focused tool for the travel hacking community that finally gives the "ask your AI for deals" fantasy some real API teeth.
Reviewer scorecard
“The ⌘⇧P hotkey that drops your prompt library anywhere is the feature I didn't know I needed. I have system prompts, code review templates, and git commit formats that I paste constantly — having them one keystroke away instead of buried in Notion is a real productivity win.”
“The MCP architecture is exactly right for this problem—travel APIs are diverse and constantly changing, and skills-as-markdown-files means any developer can add a new loyalty program or airline API in 30 minutes without touching a codebase. The Seats.aero integration alone makes this worth setting up.”
“This is a well-executed clipboard manager with an AI marketing angle, not really AI itself. Raycast and Alfred already do this with snippet libraries, and most power users are already in those ecosystems. The Apple-only constraint also limits its audience significantly.”
“Most of these APIs require paid keys or have aggressive rate limits, and the 'sweet spots' data will go stale quickly as airlines devalue programs. This solves a real problem but requires significant manual maintenance to stay useful—you're essentially signing up to maintain your own travel hacking research infrastructure.”
“Personal prompt libraries are the new dotfiles — the accumulated knowledge of how to get AI tools to work for your specific workflows. Apps like PromptPaste are the beginning of a whole category of 'AI configuration layer' tools that will become essential infrastructure.”
“This is an early template for domain-specific MCP skill sets—curated API knowledge plus structured data that turns a general AI assistant into a specialist. As MCP adoption grows, we'll see these skill bundles for every vertical from legal research to healthcare, and travel hacking is a natural first mover.”
“For creators who use AI daily across writing, image generation, and video tools, having a single organized library across Mac and iPhone with variable templating is exactly the kind of workflow glue that saves an hour a week.”
“Finally something that makes the 'just ask your AI to book travel' promise real rather than theoretical. The alliance and partner award data files are the kind of curated, hard-to-find knowledge that normally lives in obscure blog posts—having it structured for AI consumption is genuinely useful.”
