It's quick to load and I can start writing immediately. Very flexible, a very creative approach to get lots of things done in a relatively small application. It's solid and reliable.

It’s just incredibly quick and useful. And extensible with all the actions.

I've been using it for several months and find it very useful. When I open it, it's ready to type immediately, and then I can send the text very quickly to lots of other apps, etc. It really is valuable to me. I was looking for something similar for my Mac.

I found that I would use this app only for when I didn't want to risk losing my content due to a buggy Apple Notes app, or a Safari browser tab closing or refreshing or some other website or app glitch. In the end, I found that I can just use my existing journal app Day One for the same purpose, and it has a lot better organisation features for me. I didn't find any of the sharing features of Draft useful, as I could just copy and paste whatever I wrote into the app I needed, which is what I would do anyway as it offers more control.

What is Drafts?

Drafts is where text starts. Quickly capture text and send it almost anywhere!

Drafts turns text into action with almost limitless possibilities – it’s a quick notebook, handy editor, and writing automation tool, all in one. Capture all of your text in Drafts and send it to other apps without the extra taps.

Drafts is the quick, easy way to capture and share text. In Drafts, text comes first – open the app and get a new, blank draft – ready to type. Don't get bogged down in a timeline just to tweet or post to Facebook. Don't tap your way through multiple screens to get down an email or SMS. Don't navigate folders, create files and name them just to jot down a note or create a todo.

In Drafts you can get that text down quickly and decide what to do with it later. Extensive output options let you send text to Twitter, Facebook, App.net, email, SMS, a Calendar event, quickly save it to Dropbox or Evernote – or forward it to a growing list of other Apps such as OmniFocus, Things, Fantastical, Byword, Sparrow and more. Customize actions to fit into any workflow.

FEATURES

  • QUICK ENTRY: App opens to a new blank draft to quickly jot down ideas.
  • SAVE, SEARCH, SYNC: Not sure what to do with that text? Just type it in and leave drafts – no saving, it'll be there when you get back. Recent drafts are always one tap away, and full-text searching is available. Optionally enable Drafts lightning fast sync between Drafts, Drafts for iPad (sold separately) on multiple devices.
  • SEND TO...ANYTHING? Extensive output options let you do almost anything you might want with your text. Output options include: Twitter, Facebook, Email, SMS-Messages, Events, Clipboard, "Open in..." export, Print.
  • EMAIL ACTIONS: Configure your own email actions with preconfigured recipients that can be sent in the background to integration with services like Evernote, OmniFocus Maildrop, Toodledo, IFTTT and more.
  • etc.
