4 Best Ways (and Tools) to Save and Reuse Claude Prompts
Claude is quickly becoming a go-to AI for writing, brainstorming, and coding.
But there’s one big problem: your best prompts often get lost. You copy, paste, tweak, and before long, the version that worked best is buried or gone.
Since Claude doesn’t have a built-in way to save prompts, you need your own system to keep them organized and ready.
The good news is that setting up a personal prompt library doesn’t take long, and once you do, you’ll always have your best ideas within reach.
In this guide, I’ll share 4 effective ways to save Claude prompts, from simple note apps to a dedicated clipboard manager.
You’ll see the pros and cons of each method, plus why Clipboard History Pro gives you the smoothest workflow.
TL;DR: Best Ways to Save Claude Prompts
Method | What You Can Do | Best For | Limitations |
Notes app | Paste prompts into Google Keep, Apple Notes, or Notion | Quick setup and light use | Becomes cluttered; no version control |
Prompt document | Keep all prompts in a single Google Doc or Word file | Centralized storage | Time-consuming to scroll or search |
Prompt library tool | Use apps designed for saving and tagging prompts | Organized libraries with categories | Extra tool to manage; often paid |
Clipboard History Pro | Automatically saves every prompt, reusable with one click | Fast, secure, always accessible | Works only in Chrome |
4 Tools to Save and Reuse Claude Prompts
Now that you’ve seen the main options at a glance, let’s go through each method in detail.
You’ll see what works, what slows you down, and why a clipboard manager like Clipboard History Pro gives you the smoothest workflow.
1. Copy Claude Prompts into a Notes App
One of the simplest ways to keep track of Claude prompts is by pasting them into a notes app.
Tools like Google Keep, Apple Notes, or Notion are already on most devices, so it’s quick to get started. You can paste prompts right after using them and see them all in one place.
Pros
- Built-in on most devices, so no setup needed
- Quick way to store and retrieve prompts
- Keeps everything centralized in one app
Cons
- Not designed for long or complex prompts
- Gets cluttered as the number of prompts grows
- Difficult to track versions when editing the same note
- Searching for the right prompt can waste time
Best For
Users who only need to save a handful of prompts occasionally.
That’s why most users turn to smarter options like a text expander or a clipboard manager, which are designed to save and reuse text efficiently.
Here’s what it looks like to use a text expander tool like Clipboard history pro:

2. Create a Claude Prompt Document
Another way to save prompts is to keep them all in a single document.
Many users make a Google Doc or Word file titled “Claude Prompts” and paste everything there. This method gives you one central place to update and refine prompts as you improve them.
Pros
- Keeps all prompts in one centralized file
- Easy to update and refine over time
- Simple setup with tools you already use
Cons
- Switching between Claude and your document interrupts focus
- Scrolling through long documents wastes time
- Finding a specific prompt can be slow when the list grows
- Still feels like a workaround instead of a smooth workflow
Best For
Users who want one central place to store prompts and don’t mind searching or scrolling when needed.
For example, our guide on creating text shortcuts in Chrome explains how to paste stored text faster without leaving your workflow.
But even with shortcuts, a large document can feel like a workaround rather than a clean solution.
3. Use a Dedicated Prompt Library Tool
Some users prefer apps built specifically for storing and reusing AI prompts.
These tools let you tag, categorize, and search prompts so they’re easy to find later. Many also include collaboration or sharing features if you want to work with a team.
Pros
- Built for saving and organizing prompts
- Tagging, categories, and search features included
- Some tools allow sharing or team use
Cons
- Adds another step to your workflow
- Requires copying prompts into the app manually
- Often paid, with extra features you may not need
Best For
Users who want a structured, dedicated library and don’t mind managing an additional tool.
For example, Clipboard History Pro already works as a reusable prompt library for ChatGPT, and the same approach applies to Claude.
You don’t have to maintain two separate tools; your prompts are saved automatically while you work.
4. Save Prompts Automatically with Clipboard History Pro
Clipboard History Pro is the easiest way to build a Claude prompt library.
