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](https://shadcn.com/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.
|
||

||
