📢 App Store Status
Despite months of back-and-forth and multiple name changes (MacMistral → Mistralis → PromptBar), Apple has officially rejected PromptBar from the Mac App Store — even while similar browser-based AI tools remain approved.
We’re disappointed but not surprised — and more determined than ever to keep PromptBar accessible and growing.
