Ask naturally
Describe the outcome you want instead of stopping to remember a command, flag, or exact syntax.
SAFETY-FIRST TERMINAL ASSISTANT
Ask naturally. Understand first. You decide.
PromptMeUp is a lightweight, open-source AI assistant for Windows, Linux, and macOS. It explains terminal tasks, proposes PowerShell commands, and runs one only after an exact preview and explicit approval.
From an everyday question to a reviewable next step
Use the public hm command to ask for help in your own words. PromptMeUp explains the task, proposes one concrete command when appropriate, and keeps the choice to run or cancel with you.
Understand before action
Read the explanation, inspect the exact command, and ask a follow-up before anything can run.
Approve one command
Authorization applies only to the displayed command and expires. Nothing in an AI answer runs automatically.
Safety by design
Control is product behavior
A deterministic local review always runs before approval. Optional AI review may add context, but it can never authorize execution for you.
Read the privacy and data flow- Every command starts as an exact local preview.
- Each execution requires explicit, single-command approval.
- Commands run without elevation, with a timeout and bounded output.
- Recognizable credentials are redacted before persistence or AI follow-up.
One small assistant across Windows, Linux, and macOS
PromptMeUp ships as a portable console application with no background agent. The same hm workflow supports quick questions, conversations, diagnostics, PowerShell drafts, reviewable plans, file previews, and reusable recipes.
