Start a Codex task with your proven brief
Find the review rules, test requirements, acceptance criteria, and handoff format you use every time. Copy them into the new task yourself—no old task to search.
AI prompt workflows on Mac
Reuse the AI prompts that already work.
Keep the prompts, checklists, constraints, and output formats you reuse in Codex, Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor in one local library. Press ⇧⌘C, find the setup you saved, copy it, then paste it yourself.
Lazy Quips requires a Mac with Apple silicon running macOS 14 or later. The app interface is currently available in English and Traditional Chinese.
Open a Claude chat with the right context
Bring back the context, constraints, tone, and output format that already work. Copy the saved setup into the new chat, then adapt it for this task.
Reuse a ChatGPT prompt without searching old chats
Keep the prompts you return to for research, analysis, drafting, and review. Find the version you trust, copy it, and paste it into a new conversation.
Keep Cursor instructions ready
Save refactor requests, debugging checklists, response constraints, and PR summary formats. Choose the right instruction and paste it into Cursor yourself.
The workflow stays manual.
Lazy Quips is a library beside your AI tools, not an integration inside them. It does not inspect a task, conversation, editor, or input field.
You choose a saved prompt, Lazy Quips copies it, and you review and paste it yourself. Nothing is submitted or sent automatically.

A few things worth knowing.
What is Lazy Quips?
Lazy Quips is a local-first macOS menu bar phrase manager for saved AI prompt snippets, quick replies, links, and reusable text. Press ⇧⌘C or open it from the menu bar, choose a saved item, and it is copied for you to paste yourself.
How do I copy a saved phrase with the shortcut or menu bar?
Press ⇧⌘C or open Lazy Quips from the menu bar. Find a saved item and choose it. Lazy Quips copies it; you paste it into the app or text field you want.
Does Lazy Quips connect to Codex, Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor?
No. Lazy Quips does not connect to those tools, call their models, read their conversations, or send them data. It only copies the saved text you choose so you can paste it yourself.
Can I use Lazy Quips wherever I can paste text on my Mac?
Lazy Quips copies the text you choose to the clipboard. You can paste it in browsers, code editors, email, tickets, documents, and other places that accept text.
Does Lazy Quips paste or send messages automatically?
No. Lazy Quips only copies the text you choose. You decide where to paste it and when to send it.
How is Lazy Quips different from Apple Text Replacements or text expansion?
Apple Text Replacements and text expanders usually replace typed shortcuts automatically. Lazy Quips lets you open your saved text, choose what you need, and paste it yourself.
Can Lazy Quips send quick replies in Telegram, WhatsApp, GitHub, or X?
No. Lazy Quips does not connect to chat accounts, send messages, post replies, or automate conversations. You can copy a saved reply and paste it manually where macOS allows.
Where is my data stored?
Your saved library stays on your Mac. Lazy Quips has no account, cloud sync, analytics, tracking SDKs, or AI model calls.
How is Lazy Quips different from clipboard history?
Clipboard history helps you recover text you copied recently. Lazy Quips keeps the phrases, prompts, and replies you deliberately save for next time.
What can I save in Lazy Quips?
You can save AI coding prompts, code review prompts, debugging checklists, PR summary templates, support replies, email fragments, common links, sign-offs, and other small text snippets you reuse often.
Can I reuse prompts across AI tools?
Yes. Save the prompt once, press ⇧⌘C when you need it, then copy it into ChatGPT, Codex, Claude, Cursor, or another tool yourself.
What coding prompts are worth saving?
Save the prompts you reuse with little or no change: code-review rules, debugging checklists, refactor requests, test requirements, and PR summary formats for Codex, Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor.
