Prompt Player

Stealth keyboard utility for live demos. Type the first word of a stored prompt + >, and the app suppresses the > and continues typing the rest with statistically realistic human cadence — log-normal mixture distribution, hierarchical pauses, occasional typos with corrections, the works.

See prompt-player-spec.md for the full v0.3 specification.

Status

Active build, following the 14-phase plan in prompt-player-spec.md §16.

Quick start (dev)

pnpm install
pnpm tauri dev

First run on macOS will request Accessibility and Input Monitoring permissions. Both are required (Screen Recording is not required and never requested).

Architecture

• Backend: Rust + Tauri 2.x.
• Frontend: Svelte 5 (config UI; runs from tray).
• Storage: Markdown files for prompts; SQLite (SQLCipher) for usage history; YAML for config.

See prompt-player-spec.md §8 for the full architecture.

Distribution

Installable artifacts will land in GitHub Releases once the repo is connected. Until then, build locally with pnpm tauri build.

The first signed releases will be unsigned until an Apple Developer ID and a Windows EV code-signing certificate are provisioned. Expect a one-time Gatekeeper / SmartScreen unsigned-binary warning on first install.

Telemetry

Aptabase, events only — never prompt content. See spec §12 for the event whitelist.
