Does this extension work offline?
Yes. Once installed, it works offline. Data is stored locally.

Features & Functionality
Can I organize prompts into folders or subcategories?
Currently, categories are flat. Use tags for more granular grouping.
Is there a limit to how many prompts I can save?
Limited by browser storage (usually 5–10 MB). In practice, thousands of prompts are fine.

Yes. Search scans title, content, category, and tags.
Can I batch delete prompts?

Do prompts sync if I use multiple browsers?

Version History
How many versions are kept?
All versions are kept. Older versions aren’t automatically deleted.
Can I delete old versions?
Not individually. When you delete a prompt, all its versions are deleted.
What happens to versions when I revert?
A new version is created with the reverted content. The original history remains intact.
Are versions stored separately from the current prompt?
Versions are part of the prompt data structure and stored together.
Export & Import
What format is the export file?
JSON. Openable in a text editor and importable back into the extension.
Can I edit the export file manually?
Yes, but maintain valid JSON. Errors can break import.
Can I import prompts from other tools?
If you can convert them to the extension’s JSON format, yes. Export first to see the structure.
What happens if I import a file with the same prompt IDs?
They are treated as new prompts. Duplicates may appear unless you clear first.
Categories & Tags
Can I have prompts without a category?
Yes. Use “General” or leave it empty.
Can I rename a category?
Not directly. Delete the old category, create the new one, and edit prompts to use the new category.
Are tags case-sensitive?
Tags are stored as entered. Use consistent capitalization.
Can I filter by multiple tags at once?
Currently, click one tag at a time. Use search to find prompts matching multiple terms.
Privacy & Security
Does the extension send data to servers?
No. Everything is stored locally.
Can the extension access my browsing history?
No. It only uses the storage permission.
Does the extension work on private/incognito mode?
Yes, if you enable “Allow in incognito” in extension settings.
What happens if I uninstall the extension?
Data is deleted. Export before uninstalling if you want to keep your prompts.
Is my data encrypted?
Data is stored in browser storage (not encrypted by default). If you use device encryption, storage is protected at that level.
Troubleshooting
My prompts disappeared after updating the extension.
Updates shouldn’t delete data. Check:
- Extension wasn’t uninstalled/reinstalled
- Browser storage wasn’t cleared
- Try exporting to verify data exists
Search isn’t finding my prompts.
Check:
- Search is case-insensitive
- No category filter blocking results
- Try searching by exact words from the prompt
The popup doesn’t remember my editor state.
State saves on input. If it’s not persisting:
- Ensure the extension has storage permission
- Check browser storage isn’t disabled
- Try closing/reopening the popup
Import fails with “Invalid import file.”
Ensure:
- File is valid JSON
- File was exported from this extension (or matches the expected structure)
- File isn’t corrupted
Version history shows old dates.
Timestamps use local time. If incorrect, check your system clock.
Share button opens multiple tabs.
This is the fallback when Web Share API isn’t available. Each tab opens a different social platform. You can close the ones you don’t need.
