Keeps text prompts and photos in a floating always-on-top panel and
copies them back to the clipboard on click. Double-Shift captures the
selection from any app; sections, search, copy-as-list, merge, and
local JSON persistence mirror shadcn's Copper workflow.

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
# Namein 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.
