About Aicodeprep Gui
This desktop utility builds a context block from a code project for pasting into any AI chat. Launched from a right click on a folder or by typing aicp in a terminal, it opens with relevant files preselected. The user checks or unchecks files, chooses a preset prompt, and clicks Generate Context to copy the bundled code to the clipboard, with the prompt optionally placed both before and after the code.
It is for developers who prefer to control exactly what a model sees rather than let an IDE agent guess, and who want better bug fixing and planning help from web chats at lower API cost. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux with native context menu integration, works independently of any editor or agent, scans projects with a gitignore style filter and lazy loading, shows a real time token counter, and remembers file selections and window size per project. A newer Rust version adds redaction, compression and token budget control, and the developer also offers a visual Flow Studio. The vendor states plainly that it is not meant to replace agent software.
The base tool installs free through pipx or uv. A lifetime Pro license key, sold on Gumroad, costs $15 and unlocks all Pro features, including future updates and the Rust version with tree sitter parsing and context compression. A separate Pro bundle at $19 adds extras such as a free API router for agents and guides to lowering AI costs.
The developer notes that the lifetime option may later give way to a subscription, while existing lifetime license holders keep every feature.
