Promptlight 1.0 was the biggest product shift in the app’s early life.
What changed
- Prompts became Markdown files you can edit outside the app in tools like VS Code, Obsidian, or any text editor you already use.
- Promptlight gained direct create, edit, and delete flows that work cleanly with a file-based vault.
- Finder reveal made it easier to jump from a prompt in the launcher to the underlying file on disk.
- Relative path badges made larger vaults easier to scan when prompts live in nested folders.
- Browsing large collections got smoother, with reliability work around file changes, deletes, and renames.
Why it matters
This changed Promptlight from “an app that stores prompts” into “a Mac-native front end for a prompt library you actually own.”
That means your prompts stay portable, sync well with iCloud Drive or git, and never get trapped in a proprietary format just because you chose a faster launcher.
