Import your prompts from Apple Notes, Word, Excel or Markdown
Most people already have a pile of prompts: one long note grouped by use, a Word document, a spreadsheet, a folder of Markdown files from ChatGPT, Claude or Cursor, or a snippet app. Prompt Petal Pro brings them in on your Mac or Windows PC, keeps the groups they were in, and Sync puts them on your iPhone, iPad and Android phone.
What it reads
- Markdown (.md). A
#heading names a group and a##heading names a prompt, the way most AI tools write them. A file exported from Prompt Petal comes back exactly. - Apple Notes, OneNote and Google Keep. Copy the note and paste it. A short line with words under it is a prompt and its name, and a short line on its own above prompts names their group.
- Word (.docx) and RTF. Heading styles become groups and prompt names. On a Mac, older Word files and OpenDocument work too.
- Excel (.xlsx) and CSV. A header row that says Name, Prompt and Group, or the name in the first column and the prompt in the second. Comma, semicolon and tab separated files all work.
- JSON. Any file with a text, prompt or content field for each prompt, such as a Raycast snippets export.

Shaping a note so it comes in cleanly
Put each group name on its own line, a blank line, then each prompt as its name on one line with its words right under it:
