Welcome to Promptly — here's the whole app in 20 seconds.

1. Press ⌥Space in any text field (Mail, Slack, your editor — anywhere).
2. Type a few letters to fuzzy-search your prompts.
3. Press ↵ to drop the prompt's text in place. Focus never leaves the app you're in.

Shortcuts worth knowing:
• ⌘1–⌘9 — paste a numbered prompt instantly. This one is ⌘1.
• Pinned prompts (like this one) always sit at the top.
• Open the Promptly menu-bar icon → "Library…" to add, edit, pin, and organize prompts.

Make your own: in the Library, hit + and write a prompt. Prompts are just Markdown files
in ~/Prompts — edit them in any editor and Promptly picks up changes instantly.

Tokens expand when a prompt is pasted. For example, today is {{date}}. Others:
{{clipboard}} (your current clipboard), {{cursor}} (where the caret lands after paste),
and {{ask:your question}} (Promptly asks you to fill in a value first). Unknown tokens
stay literal, so typos are easy to spot.

That's it. Delete this prompt whenever you're ready, and happy prompting.
