PromptaroFree & open source · macOS
Keep your go-to messages above the chat input. Promptaro is a native Mac app that lets you use one editable prompt library across supported desktop AI apps and browser chats. Click a prompt to insert and send it.
A method to start with
As work develops, you may need to choose a direction, continue a task, review priorities, or check for loose ends. The built-in messages give you a starting point for those requests.
The seven defaults come from the creator's own AI workflow. They give you a repeatable way to steer the conversation. Keep the method, adapt it, or build your own.
Ask the AI to review the options, ask for decisions it needs from you, and recommend one next step.
Next step? (Think through the possible paths forward. Plan so your next step can, where it makes sense, cover a long stretch of work on your own. In your final message, recommend that next step and ask every decision you need from me for it, each with your recommended answer.)
Continue the work, finish loose ends, and move to the next useful action.
Proceed (if you have any loose ends, tidy them up; If you proposed the next step, it's approved as proposed; If you asked me to do something, check whether it's done and finish it yourself if not; If you haven't proposed the next step, propose one now)
Step out of the current detail to review the backlog, set priorities, and organize the work.
Take a step back and look at the entire backlog, all the things we have open in this chat and lets do backlog grooming, prioritisation and operationalization of work.
Ask for plain language and more detail when an answer is hard to follow.
Explain in simple terms what you mean, because I don't understand. Most likely some of the things you mentioned need expanding upon.
Ask for a concise summary when you need the essentials.
TLDR
Ask the AI to catch up on what has happened since you last talked.
Reorient yourself in what has happened since we last talked
Look for loose ends, cleanup, and refactoring before you finish.
Any loose ends? any leftovers from our work? anything to clean up or refactor related to what we did here?
Across your conversations
Promptaro is a native Mac app that runs alongside supported chat software. Keep one editable prompt library for different AI conversations.
The seven messages are ready when you install the app. Give them a try, then edit their labels and full text or add your own. Reorder the row to fit how you work.
A separate floating window appears above a supported chat input. Your saved messages stay within reach as you work in desktop apps or your browser.
Each button has a short label and a full message. Promptaro inserts the message at your cursor, replacing any selected text, then presses Return after verifying insertion. The rest of your draft is included when the chat sends.

An open-source project
I'm Maciej. I built Promptaro to stop typing the same follow-up messages in AI chats. The seven defaults come from my daily work. Use them as they are or adapt them to yours.
