A Claude Projects alternative
Claude Projects keep files and custom instructions together inside Claude. Every chat in a project uses that project's instructions and knowledge. They come with your Claude plan (checked on support.claude.com on October 19, 2026).

Where Prompt Petal is different
- Every device you type on. Mac, Windows, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android, with Apple Watch and Wear OS, all from one account.
- Any app. Select text, pick a petal, and the prompt lands with your selection in it, in a chat, a document or an email.
- Buttons that do things. A petal can open a link, open an app, run a Shortcut, or ask AI with your own key.
- MCP too. Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code and Codex can use, save and change your prompts.
When Claude Projects is the better fit
If you do your work in Claude and want a set of files and instructions per topic, Projects fit. Prompt Petal works beside them, since a petal can type into a project chat too.
