Question 1

What is PromptFlower?

Accepted Answer

PromptFlower is a free AI prompt generator and prompt enhancer. You write a quick idea and PromptFlower turns it into a structured super-prompt that works across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other LLMs.

Question 2

Is PromptFlower free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — PromptFlower is free and runs entirely in your browser. There is no account, no subscription and no usage limit from us. You only pay whatever your own AI provider charges, and running a local Ollama model costs nothing.

Question 3

How does PromptFlower generate prompts?

Accepted Answer

PromptFlower applies a consistent blueprint — role, task, context, constraints, output format — on top of your idea, then runs it through the model you choose: your own API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, DeepSeek or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint) or a local Ollama model. The result is a longer, more reliable prompt ready to paste anywhere.

Question 4

Do I need my own API key?

Accepted Answer

For cloud models, yes. Paste your key in Settings and it is stored only in your browser — it is never sent to us. If you prefer to keep everything offline, run a local Ollama model instead.

Question 5

Do I need an account?

Accepted Answer

No. PromptFlower has no accounts and no sign-in at all. Everything works straight away and stays on your device.

Question 6

Can I run things locally?

Accepted Answer

Yes. PromptFlower talks to a local Ollama instance if you have one. See Settings → Advanced for connection instructions, including a guided tunnel setup for phone + laptop use.

Question 7

What is the Vault?

Accepted Answer

The Vault is where your saved prompts live. Generate a prompt in Create, hit Save, and it lands in your Vault with full revision history and one-click exports. Everything is stored in your browser's local storage.

Question 8

Are my saved prompts private?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your prompts never leave your device unless you send them to the AI provider you chose. We have no server and no copy of them.

Question 9

What happens if I clear my browser data?

Accepted Answer

Your Vault is deleted with it, since it lives in local storage. Use Export (Obsidian, Markdown, TXT or JSON) regularly if you want a backup.

Question 10

Do you train AI on my prompts?

Accepted Answer

No. We never see your prompts — they go directly from your browser to the provider you selected.

Question 11

Where is my data stored?

Accepted Answer

In your browser only (local storage). PromptFlower has no backend, no database and no user accounts.

Question 12

How do I delete my data?

Accepted Answer

Clear the app's data from Settings, or clear site data in your browser. That removes everything instantly — there is nothing stored elsewhere.

Question 13

Ollama says 'Unreachable'.

Accepted Answer

If you're using the hosted app over HTTPS, browsers block calls to http://localhost. Either run the app locally, or expose Ollama via an HTTPS tunnel (cloudflared/ngrok) and paste that URL in Settings.

Question 14

Cloud generation fails with an error.

Accepted Answer

Check that the API key in Settings is valid, has credits, and matches the selected provider and model. For custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints, verify the base URL and that the server allows browser requests (CORS).

Question 15

My prompts didn't save.

Accepted Answer

Saving uses browser local storage. Private/incognito windows and strict privacy settings can block it — try a normal window, and make sure site data isn't cleared on close.
