About promptring
promptring (pronounced prompt-tring) is a specialized productivity tool designed to bridge the gap between terminal-based AI operations and desktop awareness. Built by Pratyansh Agrawal, it fires real, native desktop notification banners the moment your terminal agent finishes its execution, requires your input, or encounters a blocker.
The utility is specifically built for the latest macOS Copilot CLI — powered by Claude — and also fully supports Windows, Linux, and WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). With python3 as its single dependency, promptring is extremely lightweight and easy to integrate. It works seamlessly out of any terminal environment you prefer, including Terminal.app, iTerm2, and VS Code, ensuring you never waste time waiting on or forgetting about an active background terminal task.

With Clarity, getting started is friction-free: there is no installation and no account creation required. Users can create an expiring room instantly, share a single link, and present their screen to up to 10 viewers.

To ensure fast performance, streams are routed peer-to-peer whenever possible.
