Technical specifications and hardware requirements.
System Requirements
Prompter Dock is designed for performance. Our bundled local AI engine is optimized to leverage modern hardware architecture for zero-latency response.

macOS Requirements
(Recommended)Apple M1, M2, M3, or M4 chip. (The app leverages Apple's Metal architecture for lightning-fast, zero-lag AI generation).
(Minimum)Quad-Core Intel Core i5 (2018 or newer). (Older dual-core Intel chips may experience slight delays during AI generation).

Windows Requirements
Installation & Setup
Getting started with Prompter Dock is straightforward. Choose between the standard Lite release or the fully autonomous Gold binary based on your machine's capabilities.
10-Day Unrestricted Trial
Every download of Prompter Dock triggers an automatic, hardware-bound 10-day trial period. During this time, the entire suite of AI tooling, personas, and category trees is fully unlocked. No credit card, account creation, or cloud sign-in is required to begin testing the application natively.
Activating Your License
Once you purchase a 6-month, 12-month, or Lifetime tier from our portal, you will be issued an encrypted alphanumeric License Key. To unlock your installation past the trial window:
- Launch the Prompter Dock background process.
- Click the tray/menu bar icon and navigate to Settings > License.
- Paste your key and select Activate.
Global HUD Shortcuts
Prompter Dock runs stealthily in the background. It utilizes native OS APIs to listen for global keyboard hooks, summoning the Spotlight-style overlay instantly over any active application.
macOS Activation
Triggers the search HUD instantaneously across all fullscreen spaces and applications.
Windows Activation
Evokes the HUD layer without disrupting active application focus or cursor state.
AI Engine & Capabilities
The Gold tier of Prompter Dock integrates a localized, high-speed Large Language Model (LLM) running exclusively on your machine's hardware logic paths.
Qwen 2.5 Offline Inference
Under the hood, Prompter Dock utilizes a quantized `.gguf` architecture of the cutting-edge Qwen 2.5 engine. By utilizing Llama.cpp and Tauri processes, this logic model runs independently, guaranteeing that your raw thoughts, variables, and refined prompts never touch an external server or API.
Refinement & Persona Control
Writing complex prompts is friction-heavy. Input simple, fractured thoughts, and allow the engine to expand them into perfectly formatted Markdown logic.
Prompt Sequencing (Chains)
Automate tedious workflows by linking prompts together. The AI Engine supports dynamic execution chains, routing the logical output of one prompt directly into the context window of the next—all happening securely in system RAM.
