MOP - MyOwnPrompts - prompt manager
A free, locally-run prompt manager built with Python that links prompts to reference images and videos.
A Reddit user known as Fluid-Barracuda4786 has released MOP (MyOwnPrompts), a free, locally-run desktop application built to solve a common pain point in AI workflows: organizing and reusing effective text prompts. The tool, developed as a hobby project using Python, PySide6, NumPy, and OpenCV, stores all prompt data and generated thumbnails locally in JSON files and a .cache folder, ensuring privacy and offline access. It bypasses the need for subscriptions or cloud services, offering a straightforward database for power users who accumulate libraries of prompts for models like Stable Diffusion or Midjourney.
Key functionalities address specific organizational needs. Users can create, categorize, and tag prompt templates, with dynamic filters that cross-reference categories and tags for quick retrieval. A standout feature is the ability to link prompts directly to local media files—images, videos, or audio—serving as visual references or outputs. The app includes quality-of-life tools like a quick-view popup for copying, a random prompt selector for inspiration, and bulk export to generate .txt files for all media-linked entries. The developer notes the executable may trigger antivirus false positives due to Python packaging and lacks code signing, but provides a VirusTotal report for transparency.
The project reflects a growing niche for personal productivity tools in the AI space, built by enthusiasts for their own workflows. The developer, who states they are 'not a dev' but interested in building better organizational structures, has released the tool for free and may open-source it on GitHub. They also hint at a more complex, related project in the future, suggesting continued development in this area of AI utility software.
