Powerful but organizing action can be tricky

Powerful but awkward

You are essentially creating your own UI.

For some reason it stopped capitalizing the first word of a task.

Just where did I put that action. What do those icon do, some are clear others are not. I recommend adding actions slowly organizing them as you go.

Recent releases have made it easier to find and manage actions, but you need to spend some time organizing your actions

Great options others lack

This is a great app that for free lets you have all kinds of choices in how to manage files, documents, copied text from web searches and tons of other great features- highly recommend!

Amazing

Excellent 👍🏽

A text editor on steroids.

I have never used anything like this. I’ve been using it for years now. It’s one of my most used apps. I discover new functionality that I didn’t know. existed on a regular basis in this app.

“It feels like a safe place for creativity and organization to coexist.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’ve tried a lot of note-taking apps, but Drafts has become my favorite. I love that it’s only $1.99, and everything syncs seamlessly between my iPhone and MacBook. That alone makes it worth it for me.

I use it for all kinds of things—planning systems, planning guides, bills, important dates, routines, and regimens. It’s basically where I organize my life before anything becomes “finished.”

What I appreciate most is how simple it is. There aren’t a bunch of unnecessary features getting in the way. You just open the app and start writing.

I also love the name, “Drafts.” It perfectly captures the feeling of ideas that are still growing, plans that are being worked on, and thoughts that aren’t quite finished yet. It feels like a safe place for creativity and organization to coexist.

If you want a clean, reliable writing space without all the clutter, I highly recommend it.

Good app

Great app and one that I recommend. I wish there was an option to change the icon back to the pre liquid glass look.

It’s good!

After using it more than a decade, it’s good!

Never lose text you need

Simple, extensible, automatable, text capture and editing

Absolutely Worthless wth Dropbox

This app will not connect in any way, shape, or form to Dropbox. If you use Dropbox for anything, hard pass on this. That’s not necessarily bad, but they advertise that it connects to Dropbox. Stole my money.

Outstanding; Perfect for the Age of AI

I absolutely love Drafts as my premium capture place when I am out and about or wherever I am, even in the office. I can record quickly something on my phone, which goes to Drafts, or I can press the action button on my watch and whatever I record goes straight to Drafts. From there I can edit it and move it into whatever destination I choose, whether it's an email, my diary, or my notes. It's absolutely perfect in conjunction with my workflows with artificial intelligence.

Also, rather than dumping things straight into different apps, I can put it into Drafts as a draft to think about, edit, and then send for production. I love this app. I highly recommend it as your future “capturing” place!

Great App - Use this every day

This is one of the apps I use most…

The perfect tool for drafting any text message, email, notes or just about anything.

Has excellent functionality, an intuitive interface, and works very well on Apple Watch to capture drafts on the go.

Highly recommended.

Really, really great for writing

Drafts is an excellent environment for getting writing done. The scripting and customization are perfect. If it can be written in Drafts I do. And just about everything can be.

You have no idea

… how much you need this software until you try it. Trust me. It is so well done and so helpful

Essential App

Drafts is an essential app for me. I use it daily to manage the flow of text into my various apps. Everything starts in Drafts and then gets easily transferred to another app with an action. I couldn't do without it.

Love this thing.

I spent 20 years programming windows. Switched to the dark side and found Drafts, will not go back.

Very good

I’m a tough grader. Most people give five stars or four stars, but I start off at three and rarely go higher. This is a great app. I may raise the review later after I get to know it better.

Essential app

I use this every day, multiple times a day. Jotting down quick notes to remember later or transfer to a to-do list; drafting documents that I pull from different sources; cleaning things up before putting them into another app. It’s great for all of it and more. And I’m sure I don’t even use 10% of all that it can do in terms of automations, etc..

Indispensable to my workflow

I use Drafts every day to switch seamlessly between my iPhone, iPad and MacBook to work on anything from short posts to long articles. It is a critical part of my workflow and one I pay for gladly.

Worlds greatest note app

I’ve used them all. And I mean every note app you’ve heard of and a lot you haven’t. Drafts is my origin point for every single note I take(and I take a lot of notes) everything starts in Drafts - it’s hands down the fastest simplest way to get ideas out of your head. I use the hashtag headers as inline tags and then a script / ai post processing shuffles everything into the appropriate category notes in obsidian. Simple, powerful, capture every idea task project fleeting thought you ever have. Perfection.

Write anything fast

Been using this app for years. Love the sync with the Mac and the ability to quickly start any note.
