Settings, plans and data
Find any setting, understand the Free and Pro plans and your license key, and move your data in and out.
These guides cover the controls and the account side of PromptMason: the Settings screen, the two plans, your license key, and getting your work out of the app and back in.
The ideas to know first:
- Settings: every option in the app, in panes, with a search box to find a setting by name. Open it from the sidebar.
- Free and Pro: both include every feature. The only difference is how many blocks and prompts you can keep: Free has up to 25 blocks and 15 prompts. Prices are on the Pricing page.
- License key: every download starts with 14 days of Pro, with no key. If you buy Pro, you paste the key into Settings under Plan. If you go over the Free limits, your library is paused until you’re back within them or on Pro.
- Export and import: save your personal library to one file and add a file’s contents to a library. An exported file isn’t encrypted, so keep it somewhere only you can open. Privacy in PromptMason explains where PromptMason’s protection ends.
Start with the Settings reference. For the plans, read Plans and limits and Your trial and license key. To move your work to another PC, read Export and import.

About PromptMason: a Windows desktop app for building AI prompts from reusable blocks. A person writes blocks (reusable pieces of prompt text), builds prompts from them on the Build screen (or keeps a Markdown document, such as a Skill), and copies a prompt into an AI tool, runs it in PromptMason’s own Chat, or lets a connected AI agent use it through PromptMason’s built-in MCP server (the Chrome extension copies prompts on any website). AI assist, Evaluate and Chat use a local model that runs on the person’s PC, or their own AI provider. The guides are also on PromptMason’s Help screen, and Chat can answer “how do I” questions from them. Libraries hold the blocks and prompts; a person can sync their personal library to their other PCs and share team libraries, both through a folder in cloud storage they already have (OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox). Everything synced is encrypted and every edit is signed and checked. A recovery kit (a file plus a code) is the spare copy of the person’s keys, for when every PC is lost.

After each step, ask what I see on screen before giving the next one. - Use the exact words on PromptMason’s buttons and screens, as the guide does. - Never ask me for my recovery code, my recovery kit file, a password or my invite line, and never ask me to paste them here. - Start by asking which step I’m on, or what I see now.
