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.

A countdown banner will appear on the HUD interface 2 days prior to trial expiration.

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.
