Demo everything Prompt Petal does
Pro features shown.
Your petals
Five prompts in the free version. Click the flower in any app and they open around it, in the same place every time, so your hand learns where each one is.
Sync
Write a prompt on your Mac and it is on your iPhone, Android phone, Windows PC and watch too. It is encrypted on your device before it leaves, and Sync now sends it straight away. Pro.
Import
Bring the prompts you already keep: Markdown (.md) files, notes from Apple Notes, OneNote or Google Keep, Word and RTF documents, Excel and CSV sheets, and JSON exports like Raycast's. Their groups come too. Pro.
Improve
Free improves with the AI already on your device: Apple Intelligence on iPhone, iPad and Mac, Gemini Nano on supported Android phones. Anywhere else, it copies a ready request to paste into Siri, Gemini, Copilot or ChatGPT. Then Replace, Save as new, or Try again. Pro adds your own ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini key, and Claude Desktop, Cursor and VS Code can improve and save prompts through MCP.
Groups
One petal that opens into petals of its own. Summarize can hold five ways to summarize, and your main petals stay uncluttered. Pro.
Write your own
Name it, pick an icon and write the instruction. Put what you selected, what you copied, the app or the date wherever you want them filled in. Free for five of your own.
Workflows
A petal can open a link with your selection in it, open an app, run a Shortcut, or ask AI with your own key and type the answer for you. Share any prompt with a link. Pro.
Petals per app
Petals for Mail when Mail is in front, and others for VS Code. Add them to your usual petals, or show only those. Pro.
Clipboard history
Keep the last 5 to 100 things you copy and pick one from your petals. It stays in memory on your computer and is gone when you quit.
Your flower
Pick the petal shape and the color, and the button and your petals change with it. Show icons, words or both on each petal.
AI apps
Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and other AI apps that use MCP list your prompts and use them on what you are working on. One click to add. The flower types into Siri, Gemini, Copilot and any other AI you type to. Pro.
AI usage
A flower for each AI you use: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and Siri on a Mac. Pick each flower and color. Claude and ChatGPT petals shrink as your plan gets used, by 5 hours or the week. Pro.
Full screen
On a Mac, the flower steps aside when an app goes full screen. It is on by default, with one switch in Settings, and your shortcut still opens your petals.

Why I Built Prompt Petal
Hi, I'm Lee. I use AI all day, and I kept typing the same instructions into it. Rewrite this. Shorten this. Explain this like I'm new to it.
Every time, I'd retype them from memory or dig through a notes file to copy them, and the wording was never quite the same twice.
That's why I built Prompt Petal. Your prompts sit on a small flower that floats over your work. Click it, pick a petal, and the instruction lands where you're typing, with what you selected already in it.
It grew from there: workflows that open a link or run a Shortcut, clipboard history on the same flower, and your prompts inside Claude Desktop, Cursor and other AI apps.
Prompt Petal is free with five prompts. Download it for Mac, Windows or Linux, get it on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, or on Google Play for Android. You can use the Message Me button with any questions and I'll get back to you within 24 hours.
Cheers -Lee

Ahead of pace
A macro pad for AI, on your screen
A macro pad is a row of buttons that each do one thing you do all day. Prompt Petal is macro software for the work you hand to AI, all on your screen.
A button for every prompt
Research, rewrite, shorten, explain. Each one is a petal, one click from wherever you are typing, with your selection folded in.
Buttons that do things
A petal can open a link with your selection in it, open an app, run a Shortcut, or send a prompt the moment it lands. Pro.
A different pad per app
Petals for ChatGPT when it is in front, others for Mail, and the ones you want in every app. Pro.
Why the same prompt, every time
Long AI chats drift. As a conversation grows, the context window fills, and the instructions you gave at the start get pushed back, summarized or dropped, so the answers start missing things you asked for. Your best prompt, sent again in one click, puts every instruction back in front of the model.
Every instruction arrives
A tested prompt spells out every step you care about. Sending it again restates all of it, instead of trusting the model to remember what you said forty messages ago.
The same quality every time
You wrote the prompt once, when you were thinking clearly. Retyping from memory drops a line here and a detail there. A petal keeps every word.
Whole in any chat
Start a new chat, switch models or open another AI app, and your instructions arrive complete, with the text you selected folded in.
On every device you type on
One set of prompts, on your computer and your phone. Sign in with the same email and Pro and your prompts come with you. A new computer or phone signs in when your phone scans the QR code it shows.
Windows
The same petals, from the icon by your clock. Pro adds a Windows 11 widget. Also on the Microsoft Store, kept up to date for you.
Linux
The same petals, from the flower in your tray, on Ubuntu, Fedora and other desktops, on X11 and Wayland.
iPhone and iPad
A keyboard of your prompts, in any app. Pro adds a home screen widget that copies one in a tap, and an Apple Watch complication that sends one to your phone.
Android, Chromebooks and Wear OS
A keyboard of your prompts, in any app. Pro adds a home screen widget that copies one in a tap, and a Wear OS tile that sends one to your phone.
Prompts that keep getting better
A good prompt is a small piece of craft, and it improves the more you use it. We keep sharpening these and your copies stay current, the way an ad blocker keeps its lists current. Add a pack once and the good ones find their way to you. Part of Pro.
Code
Reviewing, explaining and untangling what you already have. 5 prompts.
Thinking
Prompts for when you are stuck, or about to be wrong. 5 prompts.
Writing
Getting a draft into shape, and getting out of your own way. 5 prompts.
What Prompt Petal does with your text
On a computer, Prompt Petal reads what you selected and types into the app you are in. On a phone, it is a keyboard. Here is exactly what it does with that.
Your text goes where you type
Your selection, and the text Prompt Petal builds from it, go straight into the app you are typing in. Prompts you sync are encrypted on your device before they leave it.
Your text stays with you
Prompt Petal reads your selection, uses it, and forgets it. It presses keys for you. Clipboard history, when you switch it on, stays in memory on your computer and clears when you quit.
Password fields stay private
Open a password field and Prompt Petal goes quiet until you leave it.

Questions
How does Prompt Petal help with the context window?
Every AI model reads a limited amount of text at once, its context window. In a long chat, early instructions get pushed back or dropped, and the model starts missing them. A petal sends your whole tested prompt again in one click, the same words every time, so each request carries every instruction instead of relying on something said forty messages ago.
Which AI apps does Prompt Petal work with?
Any app you can type into: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, or your preferred AI, in a browser or its own app. Prompt Petal types the prompt where your cursor is. With Pro, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code and other AI apps that use MCP can also list your prompts themselves.
Is there a keyboard shortcut on the Mac?
Option and Space opens your petals wherever your pointer is. While it is open, the arrow keys move between prompts, Return picks one, the number keys 1 to 5 pick directly, and Escape closes it.
What does the free version include?
Five prompts you can use as often as you like, and write or edit yourself: start with ours, change them, or replace them with your own. One of the five can be a workflow. Pro holds as many prompts as you like, groups variations under one petal, gives each app its own petals and keeps everything the same on every device.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. On a phone Prompt Petal is a keyboard. Turn it on once, then switch to the Prompt Petal keyboard in any app and tap a prompt. It works on Android tablets and Chromebooks too. Apple Watch and Wear OS can send one to your phone.
Can Prompt Petal read what I type?
Prompt Petal reads the text you selected when you pick a petal, uses it, and forgets it. Prompt Petal presses keys for you and stays quiet in password fields. Clipboard history, if you switch it on, stays in memory on your computer.
How do I get my prompts on another device?
Sign in with the same email on each device. Prompts you sync are encrypted on your device before they leave it, so only your devices can read them.
Is there a free trial of Pro?
The yearly plan starts with 7 days free. Monthly and one time start right away.
How do I change my Pro plan?
Open Settings, then Your account, then Manage subscription. If you purchased through the App Store or Google Play, it opens their page for you.
