Hi r/macapps,

I’m the developer behind Promta. I use ChatGPT and Claude daily for coding, writing, and research, but my prompts ended up scattered across Notes, docs, screenshots, and old chats. Reusing good prompts became surprisingly slow and annoying, especially when switching between apps.

So I built Promta, a native macOS + iPhone app focused on fast prompt access and reuse. I'd genuinely love feedback from Mac power users.

[Problem]

Managing complex AI prompts across different workflows is broken. Switching between browsers, desktop LLMs, and mobile apps means you're constantly digging through text files or history to find that one specific, well-engineered prompt layout.

[Comparison]

I looked at tools like Raycast snippets, TextExpander, and generic notes apps, but they didn’t fully fit my workflow:

• Notes apps: Flexible, but slow to search, filter, and manage specifically for prompt structures.
• Text expanders: Great for static snippets, but less focused on prompt organization and multi-line structures.
• Raycast: Works well for quick access on Mac, but I wanted a dedicated cross-device workspace with iOS integration, seamless syncing, and versioning.

Promta focuses specifically on:

• Menu bar access (always one click away)
• Fast search & instant filtering
• Tags and folders organization
• Prompt version history
• One-click copy/paste directly into your active window
• iCloud sync between Mac + iPhone (with a custom iOS keyboard extension)

[Pricing]

• Free: Limited prompts and AI improvement count.
• Monthly: $3.99
• Yearly: $24.99
• Lifetime: $69.99

[Transparency & Trust]

• Privacy & Security: App data is synced entirely via your native iCloud, meaning your prompts never hit a proprietary third-party server. Privacy Policy and Terms are linked in our website footer.

Questions for the community:

1. What features feel missing for your specific AI stack?
2. Would you use a dedicated prompt app instead of Notes/snippets?
3. What would make it an essential part of your daily workflow?

Thanks for checking it out and for any feedback you can share!

-------------------------

EDIT: A lot of people brought up the pricing, which is completely fair feedback.

I still believe in the value of the app, especially as a native macOS + iPhone experience with iCloud sync and a privacy-first approach, but I also understand that the lifetime price felt too steep for some here.

So I set up a 30% discount for r/macapps to bring the lifetime option under $50 for anyone interested in trying it out:

Really appreciate all the honest feedback today — it’s been genuinely helpful as an indie developer.

I was constantly rewriting the same AI prompts over and over, so I developed a faster way to reuse them in ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Before, I used to save prompts in notes, various documents, pinned chats, and so on. The problem wasn’t “saving” the prompts, but being able to access them quickly enough while working.

Every time I needed a prompt: I'd switch between tabs -> look for it -> copy it -> tweak it again -> and so on, 20 times a day

So I built Promta: an iPhone + Mac app focused on one thing: instant prompt reuse without breaking flow

What it does right now:

• save prompts with tags
• macOS menu bar access
• keyboard extension on iPhone
• paste prompts into any AI app instantly
• prompt versioning
• AI prompt improvement tools
• iCloud sync across devices
• search + filtering

One thing I realized while building it: Most “prompt management” tools created for storage.
But the real bottleneck is usually:

>“how quickly can I access the exact prompt I need right now?”

That’s the part I wanted to optimize. A few interesting things I noticed from early users:

• people reuse way more prompts than they think
• organization matters less than retrieval speed
• menu bar access gets used constantly
• versioning became unexpectedly useful for iterative prompts

Still figuring out where this should go next. Some ideas I’m exploring:

• model-specific prompt variants
• variable/template inputs
• shared/team libraries

I'm curious to know how people here organize their work with reusable prompts. What do you use: “Notes”? “Snippets”? Special prompt managers? Your own tools?

I would really appreciate feedback from those who are deeply involved in workflows with LLMs.
