Prompt

A native macOS app for keeping prompts and photos, in the spirit of Copper by shadcn: a floating panel that sits next to your work. Click anything to copy it back to your clipboard.

• Click to copy — text notes go back as text, photos go back as images.
• Capture from anywhere — select text in any app and tap Left Shift twice.
• Photos — paste (Cmd+V), drag & drop, or add via the photo button.
• Sections — type # Name in the composer; Cmd+K switches sections.
• Copy as List — Cmd+click to multi-select, right-click → Copy as List (or Shift+Cmd+C) for a numbered list ready to paste into a chat.
• Merge Notes, Mark as Done, Edit, Move To — right-click any item.
• Search — Cmd+F searches across all sections.
• Local & private — everything lives in ~/Library/Application Support/Prompt/ (store.json + Images/). No account, no sync, no telemetry.

Shortcuts

Action	Shortcut
Capture current selection	Left Shift ×2 (or Cmd+Shift+C)
Show/hide panel	Right Shift ×2 (or Cmd+Shift+Space)
Switch/create section	Cmd+K
Search	Cmd+F
Focus composer	Cmd+N
Copy selection as numbered list	Shift+Cmd+C
Close panel	Esc

Double-Shift gestures require Accessibility access (Prompt reads the selection by simulating Cmd+C, then restores your clipboard untouched). The Cmd+Shift fallbacks work without it. Bare keys like Space and Cmd+C are deliberately not bound inside the panel so they never conflict with typing in the composer.
