Prompt Line is a macOS app developed to improve the prompt input experience in the terminal for CLI-based AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenAI Codex CLI, and Aider. It addresses UX challenges related to multi-byte character input (e.g., Japanese) by providing a dedicated floating input interface.
This greatly reduces stress when entering text in the following cases in particular.
Quick launch with shortcut (Cmd+Shift+Space).<br>
Type text and quick paste (Cmd+Enter).

The operation is the same as a typical text editor. <br>
Of course, you can also use it in combination with a voice input app. <br>
Pressing Enter will not automatically send the text, so you don't have to worry about line breaks. <br>
It is also ideal for editing text entered by voice. <br>
(This video uses superwhisper.)

Prompt history is saved and can be reused from the right menu. <br>
Search is also available. (Cmd+f)

Can be launched anywhere there's a text input field. <br>
Also convenient when you want to reuse the same prompt in other apps.

Of course, it also works with apps other than Terminal.
