Frequently asked questions
Straight answers, no fine print.
Does TPEE really work offline?
Yes — the app makes no network calls at runtime. No telemetry, no account needed to write prompts. Verify with your firewall; we encourage it. (The website and Stripe checkout are online, obviously.)
Windows SmartScreen warned me when I ran the installer. Is it safe?
That warning appears for apps without an expensive EV code-signing certificate — not because something is wrong. Click "More info → Run anyway". Before you do, verify your download against the SHA-256 hash we publish on our Security page.
Is there a free version?
Students and job seekers get TPEE free, application-approved. Apply from the pricing section — we review applications ourselves and reply by email.
What does the quality score actually measure?
Each of the 12 prompt sections is checked for completeness and internal consistency, shown as GREEN/YELLOW/RED, and rolled into a 0–100 score. It won't write the prompt for you — it tells you when you've done the work.
Which IDEs can I export to?
23 profiles, including Cursor, VS Code and its variants, Claude Code, Kiro, and Windsurf — plus a general formatter if your tool isn't listed.
Which AI models does it cover?
150 model profiles across 14 providers, with pricing, context windows, and API character limits. TPEE doesn't call these models for you — it helps you write prompts that fit them.
MSI installer or portable ZIP?
Both. Same app, same build: MSI for a normal Windows install, ZIP for run-from-anywhere (no admin rights needed).
Windows only? What about Mac or Linux?
Windows 10 and 11 only, for now. It's a native Rust/egui app, and we'd rather support one platform properly than three poorly.
What's the beta program?
Accepted beta testers get 50% off any paid plan (code BETA50) in exchange for short monthly feedback. Details and application: beta program.
What's your refund policy?
14 days from first purchase, no questions asked — email support and we refund through Stripe. Details: refund policy.
