Text Blaze is a great general text expander. But if what you're really expanding is AI prompts, you're paying a monthly subscription for a tool that wasn't designed for ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. PromptDock is — and it's $19 once.
Text Blaze expands snippets everywhere — email, CRMs, forms — and if that's what you need, it earns its subscription. PromptDock only does one job: managing and inserting AI prompts inside AI chats. Because it's specialized, it does things a general expander can't: a searchable prompt palette that opens when you type // in the chat box, folders and pins built for a prompt library, and insertion that works reliably in the rich-text editors AI sites actually use. And because it's local-first, your prompt library never touches a cloud server.

$19 once vs a subscription that quietly totals hundreds over the years. If you'd use it for more than 7 months, one-time wins — and there's a 14-day money-back guarantee.
Prompt libraries reveal how you work and what you're working on. PromptDock keeps all of it in your browser's local storage — there's no server to breach and no account to hack.
With 40+ prompts, per-snippet shortcuts get hard to remember. Type // and search your whole library instead — arrow keys, Enter, inserted.
If most of your snippets go into email, support tools or CRMs — not AI chats — Text Blaze is the right tool and worth its subscription. Some people run both: Text Blaze for general work, PromptDock for their AI prompt library.
Yes — export your snippets, reshape them into PromptDock's simple JSON format (title, body, folder), and import in one click from the Options page. Prompts with dynamic fields can use {{variables}}, which prompt you to fill in the blanks at insert time.
No — and that's deliberate. PromptDock runs only on the ten AI chat sites it supports, which keeps its permissions narrow and your browsing private. If you need snippets everywhere, a general expander like Text Blaze fits better.
Yes. Pay once, keep Pro forever — unlimited prompts, {{variable}} templates, import and cross-device sync. Payment is processed by Stripe; there's a 7-day full trial before you pay and a 14-day money-back guarantee after.
Yes — save up to 10 prompts in 3 folders, use the // palette everywhere, no account required. Every new install also gets all Pro features free for the first 7 days.
