On a Mac, the button is not doing anything
Almost always Accessibility permission. Open System Settings, Privacy and Security, Accessibility, and switch Prompt Petal on. Until it is on, the menu bar menu starts with Allow Prompt Petal to Type for You.
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 the petals.
The text went somewhere else
Click into the text box first so the cursor is actually in it, then click the button. Prompt Petal types where your cursor was.
I cannot find the button
The button stays wherever you last dragged it, including the far corners. Press Option and Space to open your petals at your pointer, or open Settings from the menu bar icon and check that As a button on screen is ticked.
On Windows, where are my petals?
Click into a text box, then click the flower by your clock, or Open Petals in the Prompt Petal window. Pick a prompt and it is typed where your cursor was.
On iPhone or Android, how do I use Prompt Petal?
Prompt Petal is a keyboard there. Open the app and follow Turning the keyboard on, then switch to the Prompt Petal keyboard in any app and tap a prompt.
Can I change what the prompts say?
Yes. Lite holds five prompts, and you can rewrite them, rename them or replace them with your own. Plus holds as many as you like, keeps several inside one petal, and uses prompts that live in a Word, RTF or Markdown file.
Can I find a word inside a long prompt?
Yes. Press the magnifier above the prompt box while you edit, type the word, and jump from match to match.
Can I see what I copied?
Yes. In Settings, the Clipboard tab keeps the last 5 to 100 things you copy, if you switch it on. Copy one again or remove it from there, or pick one from your petals, which show the newest 10. It is kept in memory only and forgotten when you quit.
Can the text be bigger, or dark?
Yes, on Mac, Windows and Linux. Text Size and Appearance are in the menu bar or tray menu, and in Settings under Display.
Can I lock Prompt Petal?
With Plus. Turn on Require Touch ID to Unlock on a Mac, or Require Windows Hello to Unlock on a PC, and choose what it guards. A Mac without Touch ID uses your password. On a phone it uses your fingerprint, face or passcode. On a Mac you can also lock the button in place so it cannot be dragged.
How do I get my prompts on another device?
Sign in with the same email on each device. On your first device you choose how the others unlock: a passcode of 4 to 6 digits, typed once on each new device, or QR codes scanned from a device that is already set up. Each device then stays unlocked on its own.
How do I change my Plus 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.
