| Description | Drafts is a quick-capture text editor that gets your thoughts down fast, then helps you send them anywhere you need. |
Drafts is designed to be your starting point for anything text-based. When you open the app, it immediately presents a fresh, blank note, ready for you to type whatever comes to mind. The whole idea is to remove any friction from capturing your thoughts, whether it's a fleeting idea, a task, a draft email, or even just a quick URL. It's essentially a blank slate that gets out of your way so you can just write.
What really makes Drafts stand out is its speed and how incredibly versatile it is. You don't have to think about where a note belongs before you write it; you just get it down. Then, using its powerful "actions," you can send that text to almost any other app or service you use. This means you can write a task in Drafts and send it directly to your task manager, jot down an email draft and open it in your mail app, or capture a quote and send it to your notes archive. It’s like a Swiss Army knife for text, making your workflow much smoother.
This app is perfect for anyone who constantly has ideas, reminders, or bits of information they need to quickly record throughout their day. If you find yourself switching between multiple apps just to jot something down, or if you like to process and sort your text after the initial capture, Drafts will be incredibly useful. It's a favorite among writers, students, busy professionals, and anyone who values getting thoughts out of their head quickly and efficiently.
Drafts is available across the Apple ecosystem, meaning you can use it seamlessly on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, and even your Apple Watch. The basic version is free and very capable, but there's a Pro subscription available if you want to unlock advanced features like creating your own custom actions, unique themes, and more robust organization tools like workspaces. It integrates really well with other apps, which is a big part of its appeal.
