Blind Draft
Read full descriptionHide full description
Stop editing. Finish the first draft. Blind Draft is a focused writing app for getting words down before your inner editor takes over. Start a short writing sprint, choose a blind mode, and keep moving forward until the draft is done. Now on iPhone and iPad. As you write, previous text can blur, disappear, or stay limited to the last line. You still finish with the full draft, but you avoid the loop of rereading, tweaking, doubting, and deleting before the idea is complete. HOW IT WORKS - Pick a timer or word goal - Choose Blur, Invisible, or Last Line Only - Write forward without editing every sentence - Reveal your full draft when the session ends MADE FOR Writers, students, founders, bloggers, authors, and anyone drafting essays, notes, posts, newsletters, scripts, ideas, or personal writing. ON IPAD A roomy layout with your drafts beside the page, plus keyboard shortcuts for hardware keyboards. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No tracking. Your drafts stay on your device. EXPORT ANYWHERE Copy, share, or export your writing as TXT, Markdown, or PDF. Blind Draft helps you stop polishing empty pages and finish more first drafts.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MDPaper at none against Blind Draft's 1. MDPaper also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). Blind Draft's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
