Install & first run
Download the installer for your platform from the Download page — .dmg on macOS (Apple Silicon) or .msi on Windows 10/11 (64-bit).
On macOS: drag Prompt to Page to Applications. Because the beta is ad-hoc signed and not yet notarized, clear the macOS quarantine flag once:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Prompt to Page.app"
Right-click → Open does not work for this build — the app launches a bundled helper process. Open it from Applications after running the command.
On Windows: run the .msi. If SmartScreen shows “Windows protected your PC”, click More info → Run anyway and follow the installer. Launch Prompt to Page from the Start menu.
Set up your model
Prompt to Page needs a local language model. On first launch you'll be offered three routes:
- Built-in. One-click. Downloads an open-weight model the first time, then runs entirely offline.
- Ollama. Point Prompt to Page at your local Ollama instance and pick any model you've pulled.
- LM Studio. Connect to a running LM Studio server on your machine.
After the one-time download, everything happens on your machine. You can use the app on a plane.
Your first prompt
Keep prompts plain. Verbs lead. Real services beat made-up ones. Examples:
Start page for applying for a Blue BadgeReport a pothole — pick a location stepCheck your State Pension age — answer pageRegister a birth — choose a registrar stepRequest a copy of a Carer's Allowance decision letter
How generation works
You'll see live progress as the model writes — a percentage and tokens-per-second. Once it's done, the finished page renders in the GOV.UK style inside the preview panel. Generation never streams partial markup into the preview; you get a clean, finished page.
The marketing site you're reading uses our Inter + zinc design language. The GOV.UK preview inside the app — and inside the hero demo on the home page — uses GOV.UK styling. These two visual worlds never blend.
Journey templates
Six patterns to start from:
- Apply — straightforward application service.
- Apply with an eligibility check — pre-screen before the form.
- Report — report an issue or incident.
- Check — look something up.
- Register — register a person, vehicle, or event.
- Request — request a copy, replacement, or change.
Accessibility checks
Every generated page is checked with axe-core against WCAG 2.2 AA. Findings are listed by severity, with separate items that need manual review (axe is explicit about what it cannot automate). Fix issues, regenerate, or hand-edit — the check re-runs.
Exporting
- Download ZIP — a self-contained prototype folder.
- Copy HTML — paste into any editor.
- Copy as Nunjucks — drop into the GOV.UK Prototype Kit.
You can also share for testing: Prompt to Page serves the prototype on your local network and shows a QR code so a teammate on the same Wi-Fi can open it on their phone. Nothing is uploaded.
Privacy
Prompts, generated pages, and exports stay on your machine. The only network traffic is the one-time model download, plus any update check you opt in to. See the privacy notice for full details.
