Do you find yourself making up AI prompts on the spot every single time? Method is a native iOS prompt manager designed to help you organize prompts used in Generative AI into structured assets and maximize their potential. Now that AI has become an everyday tool, it's no exaggeration to say that the quality and management of your prompts directly impact your daily productivity. Rather than a simple notepad, Method delivers an IDE-like (Integrated Development Environment) experience engineered to accelerate your prompt engineering. 【What Method Resolves】 • Eliminates the wasted time of typing the same instructions over and over. • Perfect for scenarios where you want to reuse a prompt but change just a small part (like targets or numbers). • No more digging through endless AI chat histories to find past prompts. • Ideal for teams looking to share standardized, high-quality prompts. 【Key Use Cases】 Widely applicable across professional settings as well as personal life. • Engineers: Template instructions for feature design, review requests, or test code generation. • Writers: Centralize prompts for research, article drafting, and content proofreading. • Marketers: Beautifully manage frameworks for ideation, strategy formulation, and data analysis. • General Business: Access prompts for routine tasks—like meeting summaries, email replies, and translations—with just a single tap. • Personal Use: Set up language learning roleplays, create travel itineraries, plan weekly meals, and more. 【Features】 • Seamless Library Management: Flexibly organize your AI prompts using folders and tags. • Variables: Need to tweak a specific instruction per prompt? Use the variable feature to make portions of your prompt dynamic. • Templates: Save prompts with multiple variables as templates. You won't have to rethink the required inputs every time—just pick from your options to complete the prompt. • Image Attachments: Link reference images or output examples directly to your prompts for easy management. • Version History: Automatically tracks edit history for each prompt. Since fine-tuning is key to great prompts, you can instantly revert to any past state. • Prompt Gallery: Effortlessly replicate high-quality prompt templates available right out of the box. • Import/Export: Export your created "Methods" (prompt sets) as JSON files. Share them with team members to level up your entire organization's AI utilization. • Instant Search: Quickly find the exact prompt you need by title or content. • My Glossary: Keep track of specialized terminology, technical jargon, or specific assets for image generation that are easily forgotten but crucial for prompt quality. • Processes [Premium]: Register a set of prompts used in a specific workflow as a single "Process". Arrange them as steps and call them up in order to move through your workflow. • Launcher (Favorite Prompts) [Mac Only]: Easily call up your most-used prompts via shortcut keys, even when the app is running in the background. • iCloud Sync: Automatically sync your data across different devices using the same Apple account. • Image Compression: Compress attached images to keep your export file sizes lightweight. 【Native Experience Optimized for iPhone / iPad】 • Intuitive Touch Controls: A mobile-optimized UI ensures a smooth workflow, from entering variables to copying the final prompt. 【Seamless Mac Integration】 Method is also available for macOS. By sharing your exported files, you can seamlessly transition from working on your Mac at your desk to your iPhone while on the go. 【Plans & Pricing】 Method is free to download. • Free Plan: Create up to 20 prompts. • Premium Plan: Unlimited prompt creation, full access to your entire version history, and the Processes feature.

Promptropolis is your personal city of prompts — a beautifully designed library for the AI prompts you actually use. Stop scrolling through chat history looking for that one perfect prompt. Stop pasting prompts into Notes that you'll never find again. Save them here, organize them your way, and copy them with a single tap. KEY FEATURES • ONE-TAP COPY — Hit copy, paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or anywhere else. You're back to work in two seconds. • TEMPLATE VARIABLES — Wrap any word in {curly braces} and Promptropolis turns your prompt into a fill-in-the-blank tool. Type your code review prompt once, reuse it forever. • SMART CATEGORIES — Pre-loaded categories for Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, and General. Add your own custom categories for clients, projects, or workflows. • TAGS, RATINGS, AND PINS — Star your favourites, tag for fast search, pin the ones you use daily to the top. • VERSION HISTORY — Edit a prompt and the previous version is saved automatically. Up to 10 versions per prompt, restored with one tap. • POWERFUL SEARCH — Search across titles, prompt text, descriptions, and tags. Real-time, no waiting. • MULTIPLE SORTS — Newest, oldest, alphabetical, top-rated, or most-used. Each sort groups your prompts intelligently (Today, Yesterday, This Week, etc.). • IMPORT FROM ANYWHERE — Import from Apple Notes via clipboard, batch import from text or markdown files, or restore from a JSON backup. • EXPORT EVERYTHING — Backup your entire library as JSON or readable text. Your data, on your device, always. • LIGHT AND DARK THEMES — Switch between a deep purple dark mode and a clean light mode in Settings. • BUILT FOR PRIVACY — No accounts, no sign-up, no servers. Every prompt lives on your device. Delete the app and your data is gone — no traces left behind. WHY PROMPTROPOLIS Other note apps weren't built for prompts. They don't understand template variables. They don't have prompt-specific categories. They don't show you which prompts you copy most. Promptropolis is built for one thing: making your AI workflow faster. Save the prompt once. Use it forever. Copy it in seconds. PRICING Promptropolis is free with bottom banner ads. One-time $2.99 purchase removes ads forever — no subscriptions, no recurring fees. PRIVACY We don't collect your prompts. We never see them. They're stored on your device using iOS encrypted storage. The free version shows ads via Google AdMob, which is the only third party that receives any data — and only standard ad-related identifiers.
