Show HN: Wings – queue the next prompt while your AI is still working

Original text(via HN AI)

AI is thinkingMy mind is racing

Wings is a window that docks to the right of Claude, ChatGPT and other AI apps. No need to wait for the AI to finish: keep typing your plans and ideas.

While the AI works,where do your ideas go?

Long tasks run for ten minutes or more. Ideas don't wait, and the usual places to put them aren't great.

Three steps, no thinking required

Write as usual

Type your next message in the AI's input box, like always.

Save to Wings

Click "Save to Wings" above the input, or press ⌥S. The input clears and the message moves to the sidebar.

Click to paste back

When the AI is done, click the note and it goes back into the input. Check it, then press Enter.

Small tool, carefully made

Follows you, or stays put

Switch to another AI app and the sidebar docks beside it. Or stick to one app, or float anywhere on screen.

Never sends for you

It pastes, it never presses Enter. Sending is your call.

Also on your clipboard

A clicked note stays on the clipboard too, so ⌘V puts it anywhere.

Images too

Save a screenshot as an image note and paste it back as is.

Only on your computer

Notes live on your Mac. No account, no upload.

Ten interface languages

Switch in Settings; it follows your system by default.

FAQ

No. Wings only pastes the note into the input box. It never presses Enter.

Saving and pasting simulate select all, cut and paste, which macOS only allows after you enable it in Privacy & Security → Accessibility. Wings walks you through it on first launch.

No. It only cuts the text in the input box when you save. To tell whether the input is empty it checks locally for text, without storing or uploading anything.

In Wings' data folder on your computer. No account and no cloud sync.

Yes. Click the shortcut in Settings and press one modifier plus one key, like ⌥S or ⌃E.

It can follow and paste into Terminal or iTerm2. The input line belongs to whatever program is running there, so saving isn't supported.

It's in progress and will be released here when ready.

Where it came from

Wings comes from Coffee CLI by the same author. Its side panel, first called Tasks and later Pre-input, sends saved messages to the AI in one click. Wings brings that to every AI desktop app.
