If you use Gemini for research, drafting, or coding help, you already have a handful of prompts that work — a specific way of asking for a comparison table, a debugging format you like, a tone you always have to re-explain. The problem is Gemini gives you nowhere to keep them. Every session starts from a blank box, and "the good version" of your prompt lives wherever you last pasted it from.
PromptDock is a free Chrome extension that fixes this directly inside gemini.google.com: save a prompt once, then type // in the Gemini input box to insert it instantly — no tab switching, no digging through old chats.
To be fair to Google, Gemini isn't missing memory entirely. There's chat history in the side panel, there are Gems (custom mini-assistants with a fixed instruction), and there's account-level personalization that quietly remembers facts about you across sessions. None of these are a prompt library:
So the default workaround is the same one everyone lands on: a notes doc, a pinned Google Doc, or a sticky note titled "Gemini prompts" that you copy from by hand. It works, but it costs a tab switch and thirty seconds every single time you use it.
PromptDock adds that missing shortcut. Once it's installed, here's the whole workflow inside gemini.google.com:
That's it — roughly two seconds from "I need that prompt" to "it's in the box." You can also open the palette with a configurable keyboard shortcut if you'd rather not type //, and you can save new prompts straight from Gemini: highlight any text on the page, right-click, and choose "Save to PromptDock" to add it to your library without leaving the tab.
Everything is organized the way an actual working library should be — folders to separate, say, "Research" from "Coding" from "Writing," tags for cross-cutting labels, and pinning so your five most-used Gemini prompts always sit at the top of the palette instead of buried under one-offs.
Most of your best Gemini prompts aren't actually one prompt — they're a pattern with one or two things that change each time. PromptDock lets you save that pattern once using {{variable}} placeholders:
Insert it with // like any other prompt, and PromptDock prompts you to fill in option_a, option_b, and use_case in small fields before it drops the finished prompt into Gemini's input box. One saved template quietly replaces dozens of near-duplicate prompts you'd otherwise have to retype or hunt for. It's the difference between a prompt collection and a prompt system.
Realistically, you don't only use Gemini. Maybe you draft in Gemini because it's fast and free with your Google account, but double-check facts in Perplexity, or switch to Claude for longer writing, or ChatGPT because a coworker shares chats that way. Every other prompt-saving method — Gemini's own history, a Chrome bookmark, a notes doc — stays trapped in whichever tool you wrote it for.
PromptDock's library isn't scoped to one site. The same saved prompts and templates are available via // in:
gemini.google.com) and Google AI StudioSave a research-comparison template once in Gemini, and it's already sitting there the next time you open Claude to polish the writing. If you're curious how this compares to living purely inside ChatGPT's ecosystem, see our guide to reusing prompts across AI tools, or the broader rundown of every way to save ChatGPT prompts — most of the trade-offs apply to Gemini too.
Prompts you write for Gemini often contain sensitive context — draft strategy, unpublished writing, internal research questions. PromptDock stores your entire library locally in Chrome's extension storage. There's no PromptDock account to create, no login screen, and no server your prompts get uploaded to. If you enable Pro's optional sync, that sync runs through Chrome's own built-in profile sync — still not a PromptDock server.
You can export your whole library to a plain JSON file at any time (handy for backups or moving computers) and import it back in one click. Nothing about using PromptDock depends on a network connection or an account, which also means nothing about your Gemini prompt habits can be sold, leaked, or tied to an email address you didn't want to give out.
If privacy and pricing across the category are on your mind, our comparison of prompt manager alternatives and roundup of the best AI prompt managers in 2026 go through this in more depth — most competitors require an account and a recurring subscription; PromptDock requires neither.
Installing takes under a minute, and every new install unlocks the full Pro feature set — unlimited prompts, templates, and sync — free for 7 days, no card required. After that you can keep using the free plan (up to 10 saved prompts, forever) or upgrade once for $19, no subscription.

No. Gemini has chat history, Gems, and Google's account-wide memory, but nothing that lets you save a named prompt and re-insert it with a shortcut. You still have to scroll history or keep a separate notes doc.
Select any prompt text on gemini.google.com, right-click, and choose "Save to PromptDock" — or open the extension popup and add it manually. It's saved locally in Chrome, instantly available everywhere PromptDock works.
