Drafts opens to a new page with the keyboard ready — just waiting for your words. Alternatively, go hands-free with dictation.

Drafts helps you write ideas down before you can forget them so and they’ll always be there, ready and waiting. Capture on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch, and Drafts’ fast sync will make your text available everywhere.

If you could marry an app...

I suppose it might be legal in parts of the world to marry an app. I’m going to check into the legislation where I live. I can’t make it through the day without Drafts, and to be honest, I don’t need anything or anyone else. I can write poems with Drafts, I can write emails with Drafts, I can write the Great American Novel with Drafts. I can make little workspaces to keep notes on different projects. I can keep a shopping list. I can store everything that can be expressed in words, whether it be administrative, artistic, literary, legal, social, or the secret instructions to find a buried treasure. It does things that no other app does, from the simple yet profound structural capabilities it offers to adapt to your way of thinking, down to the button that lets you nudge your cursor one character ahead or back (why isn’t this a native part of iOS? But it’s not — and I haven’t found this anywhere but in Drafts). It even overcomes some of iOS’s natural limitations, like the time limit on dictation. It makes you feel like a genius coder and markup man, but it’s easier to use than Microsoft Word or Pages (far easier). Drafts and a bottle of wine, an internet connection, and a three-day weekend... my idea of bliss. (This review was written in Drafts.)

An apology, changed my mind

I originally wrote quite a damming review as i was outraged at the change to a subscription model from drafts 4, a bit of a knee-jerk reaction. I have now removed that review. This developer is actually very fair. He gives you a weeks free trial of the full option set, which I used, and it then reverts to the free version. The free version is very usable and contains all the features I need. He does not hold back one important feature to make you pay for features
you don’t need. The app is now very polished and I use it everyday. I can see the need for the subscription version for power users and hope he gets quite a few to pay for continuing
development and support for this app. I would hate to see it go and have made a modest voluntary contribution in drafts4 ,so be fair and give the man .99 or 1.99 or whatever.
apologies to the developer for my previous hasty review

Amazing Support

I’ve been using Drafts for a few years and it’s just a great app as you can read form all the review and has a great user group in DiscourseHub that you should check but what made me finally add my review was a recent support experience. I just recently purchased an Apple Watch so of course I added drafts. I couldn’t get my iPhone drafts to sync and so raised a support issue. The response was quick by email and it took a few different attempts of things to try with back and forth emails always quick and polite responses direct from the developer. Turns out the issue was a crazy draft XML style file with 22,000 rows and 650,000 characters. As soon as I removed that everything started working.
