Promtly.dev
A soundboard for the things you keep retyping.
You have maybe thirty sentences you send to a model every week — the framing, the tone, the “no preamble”, the one that makes it review a diff properly. They live in your head, or in a spreadsheet you stopped opening. Promtly puts them on pads. Click one and it is on your clipboard. Run the small local bridge and it goes further: it focuses the window you were just in and pastes it there, so one click ends with the text already in the box.
01
Blanks, not forks
A tile can carry {{topic}} or {{tone=direct}}. Firing it asks for the blanks once and hands over finished text — so you keep one tile instead of nine near-identical ones.
02
Whatever you just copied
{{clipboard}} drops your current clipboard into the prompt. “Explain this:” plus a copied stack trace becomes a single click.
03
Keyboard, if you prefer
Start typing to search, Enter fires the top hit, Alt1–9 fires by number. Pop out a narrow window and keep it beside the chat.
Why there are two pieces
The browser is not allowed to press your keys.
A web page cannot switch windows or send a keystroke — that is a hard sandbox boundary, and any tool claiming otherwise is a desktop app wearing a web page. So Promtly is honest about the split: the board is a website, and the paste is a small script you run yourself. It listens only on your own machine, answers only promtly.dev, and never sees anything but the tile you just fired. If it is not running, every pad still copies.
It refuses to send Ctrl+V if the window switch did not take, rather than risk pasting into the wrong place. The bridge needs Node and, for now, Windows — the board itself works everywhere, minus the automatic paste.
