★★★★★ On the iPhone is is far too easy to accidentally erase chunks of text with absolutely no way to recover them.
★★★★★ I'd consider the $30 Patron option but there is no way to choose it.
★★★★★ Gotta love the total lack of respect for privacy the Software development industry is showing these days.

★★★★★ iCloud sync appears to be completely broken, despite multiple attempts to troubleshoot this issue using the instructions on the Drafts website.
★★★★★ If you have much medical terminology thrown in there, it will fail to recognize much of it and leave you with a big mess to edit.
2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ Good concept, but it has a long way to go in terms of accuracy and ironing out bugs.
★★★★★ However, I am uncertain if the reviews were fake or misleading becuase my experience so far with the app has been a constant crashing of the app.
Nothing stands out.

★★★★★ I'm constantly wishing that I could do this or that only to discover that it's already baked in or easy to add with a bit of simple scripting.
★★★★★ Everything makes sense and is easy.

★★★★★ Today I learned that ⌘⇧2 opens a Drafts quick-capture window.
★★★★★ If I need to take a quick note it is faster and easier to open the app and immediately have a blank slate to type on.
★★★★★ This is top-tier app that I use multiple times a day. Thanks for keeping the price reasonable and the amazing features coming.

★★★★★ TLDR: I've turned it into a personal knowledge base for everything written. Long-form writing, journaling, D&D, organizing references and info. I use it constantly and use it across the Apple ecosystem. I've tested…
★★★★★ That type of thing is not helpful.
★★★★★ If you deal with ADHD and have fleeting thoughts you want to capture, this is the app. I use it on all my devices, macbook pro, iphone, ipad pro, and watch. When I'm working, I always have fleeting thoughts of other…

★★★★★ This is a gorgeous piece of software.
★★★★★ The lightweight UI is great for quick note-taking in cass.
4 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ You have to do a bit of work to really learn how to take full advantage of everything, but that effort is worth it if you work with text formats much — and that is more of us than ever now.
★★★★★ This is a great value for the price.
★★★★★ You can use it for distraction free, you can customize it to exactly what you need.

In Drafts, ⭐WITH THE “Draft List” OPEN ⭐, please allow us to set the WIDTH of the window to a much more NARROW amount (the current width limit is like 50% TOO WIDE; please take the current minimum, and reduce it by 50%). The MORE NARROW that you allow us to set the window width, the better. I love Drafts, but this limitation is killing me.
This is one of the best apps for the Mac and iPhone/iPad. I’m not kidding. It’s rock solid, super easy to use, and is very flexible.
TLDR: I’ve turned it into a personal knowledge base for everything written. Long-form writing, journaling, D&D, organizing references and info. I use it constantly and use it across the Apple ecosystem. I’ve tested with multiple devices open at once and it appears to synchronize reliably. My main use case is jotting down notes on the go, then opening my laptop to edit it later. I haven’t had any problems with that. Mind you, sync conflicts are possible, but you would have to push it. I don’t think it’s designed to let you edit the same document at once from multiple devices. I was skeptical about a couple things. It’s not a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor so I’ve been forcing myself to get in the habit of double spacing and using markdown. I use Vellum for arranging manuscripts and an easier transition between the two programs would make my life a little easier, but I’m making it work. I was worried it would bug me to have no automatic indexing, or that everything I made would get lost, but creating a “Table of Contents” and leaving it in a central place solves that. My personal habit is: every new document gets a link in the TOC. My TOC stays in the Inbox, with a flag, and always visible. This keeps it 1 click away no matter what I’m working on. You can also use workspaces, tags, the different inboxes, or you can just search for your document. I’ve experimented with those a little but my preference is the TOC. I can’t explain why this works more than other apps I’ve tried, but it just does. I have a far easier time organizing with this than I do, say, my Outlook mailbox.
Today I learned that ⌘⇧2 opens a Drafts quick-capture window. Brilliant. ⌘⇧3 captures what I see. ⌘⇧4 captures part of what I see. ⌘⇧2 captures what I was about to forget. That’s the kind of tiny, thoughtful design detail that makes an app feel loved into existence. 😍
This is a gorgeous piece of software. You have to do a bit of work to really learn how to take full advantage of everything, but that effort is worth it if you work with text formats much — and that is more of us than ever now. Please keep up the great work!
This app is my most used app...period. I use it constantly at work. I work in a hazmat petroleum environment and we can't be on our phones, but I can look at my orders on my Apple Watch. I made a desktop app in Swift that takes my orders and OCR's them, imports them into my desired format, and throws them over to Drafts. So, when I'm in the hazmat tech restricted environment, I can easily refer to my orders and other vital information. This is just one example, but I use it for everything imaginable. iPad, Macbook Pro, Mac Pro, and Apple Watch! Everything. Everywhere.
