Download Promptu 0.9 beta

Promptu 0.8, an older non-beta version of Promptu, is available for download here.

Promptu is portable and self-contained (does not use the registry), and it does not matter where you put it, provided the location has read/write permissions.

The installer simply unpackages Promptu in the location of your choice.

How can I support Promptu?

Promptu is free to download and free to use, but if you would like to show your appreciation monetarily for Promptu and the 1100+ hours (and counting) of work put in by Zach Johnson, a computer science student at UCSD (University of California, San Diego), you can make a donation through PayPal.

What's new in Promptu 0.9?

Promptu now uses Windows Presentation Foundation

Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is Microsoft's leading edge user interface toolkit. As a part of the development effort leading up to the plugin API (see below), the Promptu user interface has been entirely re-worked in WPF and features a new default skin.

Promptu 0.9 also comes with a Classic skin for those who prefer the old look. Even then you will find improvements made possible by WPF.

Plugin API

Promptu 0.9 also includes a pilot plugin API and two plugins, Calculator and Notes, but the API is not ready for general public development right now.
