Your prompts, one click away — from a grid, from the search, or from a floating button over any app.
A tiny, fully offline prompt manager for Windows. No account, no cloud, no telemetry.
- Faster than a notes file — click a tile, the text is in your clipboard.
- Always within reach — pin prompts as floating buttons that stay on top of every other window.
- Yours alone — everything lives in a local file. The app only goes online if you let it check for updates.
| Grid & views | Free placement on a per-view grid (1×1 up to 20×20), drag tiles anywhere, drop on an occupied cell to swap. Up to 20 named views, each with its own size and layout |
| Library | Every saved prompt in one searchable list — copy, edit, drag onto the grid, filter by color or type |
| Search & sort | Typo-tolerant search ("promt" still finds "prompt"), sorted by most used or recently used |
| Tags | Label prompts with your own colored tags and narrow the library down to any combination of them |
| View groups | Drag one view tab onto another to collect them into a folder tab with a member popover |
| Private notes | A notes field per prompt for context you keep but never copy — searchable, shown in the tooltip |
| Favorites | Star prompts for a live favorites view |
| Batch editing | Multi-select in the library to recolor, favorite, move between views, export or delete in one go |
| Duplicate finder | Finds near-identical prompts, shows them side by side, keeps the one you pick |
| One click | Click a tile — the text is copied, a bubble confirms it |
| Floating buttons | Pin any prompt as a frameless, always-on-top pill. Drag to move, right-click for size, edit or remove; positions survive restarts |
| Auto-paste | A fast second click (or Enter) copies and pastes into the app you were just in |
| Variables | Write {#{Name}#} placeholders and fill them in on copy — or {#{tone|formal,casual}#} for a dropdown |
| Self-filling | date, time, weekday, clipboard and uuid fill themselves in, no dialog, in your language |
| Prompt hotkeys | Give a prompt its own global key combination that copies — and optionally pastes — from any app |
| Tray menu | Copy a recent or favorite prompt straight from the tray, without opening the window |
| Drag-out | Ctrl-drag a tile, library row or floating button into any other app to drop its text |
| Button folders | Drag one floating button onto another and they merge into a folder that opens in place |
| Chaining | Combine several prompts into one clipboard entry |
| Copy history | A journal of recent and most-used prompts, with optional timestamps and adjustable retention |
| Clipboard inbox | An optional watcher collects text you copy anywhere, so you can turn the good bits into prompts later |
| Images, GIFs & videos | Save a picture from the clipboard or a file and paste it anywhere with one click |
| Video player | Looping previews on tiles and floating buttons, with scrubber, loop and volume — remembered per prompt |
| PDF & files | Attach any file by path; a PDF's first page becomes the button's image |
| Screenshot tool | Capture a region or a whole window — even protected ones like the Task Manager — and turn it into a copy button |
| Color picker | A pipette freezes the screen, magnifies the pixel under the cursor and copies it as hex, rgb or hsl |
| Markdown preview | Render a prompt in the editor — headings, lists, quotes and syntax-colored code, toggled or side by side |
| Full-screen viewer | Click any preview to open it full-screen: scroll to zoom up to 8×, drag to pan |
| 16 themes | Light, dark and system (live OS detection), plus Programmer, AI, Cyberpunk, Retro, Gradient and more |
| Custom themes | Build your own on top of any built-in one — a color per value, grouped and previewed live |
| Colors & fonts | Tint tiles and pills from a palette or a color picker; 20 fonts, per prompt if you like |
| Auto-fit text | Tile text grows to fill the button, or pick a fixed size |
| Scaling | Separate size control for UI, popups, icons and buttons — from 50 % up |
| Distraction-free | Hide the top and bottom bars; the grid takes over the freed space |
| 11 languages | Auto-detected from the system: EN, DE, ES, IT, PT, PL, ZH, JA, NL, TR, RO |
| Backups | Rotating local snapshots, compressed and encrypted, on a schedule you can change or switch off. Diagnostics, a restore list and usage statistics live in their own window |
| Smart retention | Keep a plain number of snapshots, or a number per day, week, month and year |
| Backup password | Optional — protects new backup files with a key derived from your password |
| Version history | Every prompt keeps its earlier versions; preview and restore any of them |
| Import / export | One backup file with prompts, views, layouts, colors, styles and language. Plain CSV/TXT export for the texts alone |
| Careful resets | "Delete data" and "Reset settings" are separate, both guarded, both with an optional safety backup |
| Expert menu | Six tabs with an on/off switch for every feature and a parameter for everything adjustable. Settings that are not self-explanatory carry a tooltip |
| Runs in the background | Optional minimize-to-tray, autostart at login, global hotkey |
| Auto updates | Opt-in check with one-click install, verified against a published checksum |
| 100 % local | A single local database. No account, no telemetry, no network traffic except the update check |
| Small | ~8 MB installer (Rust / Tauri), using the Windows WebView2 runtime |
From the latest release:
| File | What it is |
|---|---|
Prompt.Saver_<version>_x64-setup.exe |
Installer — all users or current user only, optional desktop / start-menu shortcuts, upgrades keep your data |
prompt-saver.exe |
Portable — one standalone exe, no installation, keeps its data next to itself |
Both need the Microsoft WebView2 runtime (preinstalled on Windows 11 and current Windows 10; the app offers Microsoft's installer if it is missing).

| Action | How |
|---|---|
| Save a prompt | Type it in the input line → Save → name + color (Ctrl+Enter works too) |
| Copy a prompt | Click its tile |
| Move a tile | Drag it to any grid cell; drop on an occupied cell to swap |
| Edit / hide / pin / delete | Right-click a tile (or hover ⋮); deleting asks twice |
| All prompts | List icon in the header: search, edit and place every prompt |
| Screenshot | Camera icon: drag a region or click a window to save it as a copy button |
| Floating button | "Toggle floating button" in the tile menu; right-click the pill for options |
| Views | Tabs next to the title: + adds one; right-click a tab to rename, resize, recolor or delete |
| Settings | Gear icon: theme, language, fonts, sizes, autostart, hotkey, import/export, updates, reset |
| Backups | Backup manager in the settings: schedule, retention, password, restore list and statistics |
Requirements: Node.js, Rust (MSVC toolchain).
PDF previews are rendered by PDFium, which is compiled into the exe. Download
pdfium.dll (x64) from pdfium-binaries
and put it in src-tauri/ before building — the build fails without it.
build.bator manually:
npm install
npm run build # portable exe + NSIS installer
# -> src-tauri/target/release/prompt-saver.exe
# -> src-tauri/target/release/bundle/nsis/Prompt Saver_<version>_x64-setup.exeTauri 2 (Rust backend, WebView2 frontend) · vanilla HTML/CSS/JS, no bundler, no framework · SQLite store · arboard (clipboard), rfd (native dialogs), pdfium-render (PDF previews), xcap (screen capture), winreg (autostart), sys-locale (language detection).
