One click, straight into the box.
The board already copies. The bridge adds the step a browser is not permitted to take: focusing the window behind you and pressing Ctrl+V. It is one file, it runs on your machine, and it goes away the moment you close it.
- 1
Get the file
One script, no dependencies, nothing installed. Read it before you run it — that is rather the point of it being one small file.
- 2
Run it
Put both files in the same folder and double-click
promtly-bridge.cmd— or from a terminal in that folder:node promtly-bridge.mjs
Leave the window open. It prints a line for every paste, so you can see exactly what it did and where it went.
- 3
Fire a pad
The badge in the board’s top bar turns green and names the window a click will land in. Put your chat window in front, switch to the board, click a tile: the text appears in the chat box.

What it can and cannot do
- It binds to 127.0.0.1 only — nothing off your machine can reach it, and it makes no outbound connections at all.
- It answers requests only from promtly.dev (a browser will not let another site forge that), and it only ever receives the text of the tile you just clicked.
- It targets whatever window Alt+Tab would have reached. If Windows refuses the window switch, it declines to send Ctrl+V rather than risk pasting into the wrong place — you will see “press Ctrl+V” instead.
- Windows only for now. On macOS or Linux it starts and says so plainly.
