PromptMan Browser Extension
Last updated: 2026-04-21
1. What we handle
We do not actively collect personal data. The extension only touches:
- Local preferences (theme, language, mode, baseUrl) stored in chrome.storage.local — data never leaves your browser.
- Local-mode data: your prompt & skill library, read via HTTP from your own loopback address (127.0.0.1:38472). It never leaves your device.
- Cloud-mode data: when you opt in and sign in, the extension connects to https://prompt.solokit.run to read/write the prompts and skills under your account over HTTPS.
2. What we don't do
- We do not read the pages you browse.
- We do not track browsing behavior.
- We do not share any data with third parties outside PromptMan.
- We do not use data for advertising, analytics, or profiling.
3. Permission justifications
storageSaves user preferences locally via chrome.storage.local: theme, UI language, running mode (local/cloud), and baseUrl. Data never leaves the browser.
activeTabWhen the user clicks a prompt in the side panel, the extension sends the content to the active tab so the content script can insert it into the focused input field. Only triggered by explicit user action.
sidePanelThe extension's primary UI lives in the Chrome Side Panel, where users browse, search, and pick prompts. Required for core functionality.
contextMenusAdds an "Options" shortcut to the extension's right-click menu so users can open settings from anywhere.
notificationsShows transient operation results (e.g. "prompt inserted", "desktop app not running"). No marketing or external messages.
http://127.0.0.1:38472/*The extension talks to the PromptMan desktop app running locally on 127.0.0.1:38472 to read the user's prompt & skill library. Traffic is confined to the user's loopback interface and never leaves the machine. Only used when the user enables "local mode".
https://prompt.solokit.run/*The extension connects to this domain in "cloud mode" to fetch the signed-in user's prompts and skills. Requests only happen after the user explicitly switches to cloud mode and signs in.
<all_urls> (Content script)The extension's core feature is inserting prompts into any website's input. The content script therefore needs to run on all URLs. It only (1) listens for INSERT_PROMPT messages from the background, (2) finds the currently focused input/textarea/contenteditable, and (3) inserts the given text. It never reads other page content nor makes network requests.
4. Data deletion
- Local data: remove by uninstalling the extension in chrome://extensions.
- Cloud data: delete from your account on https://prompt.solokit.run.
