A Must Install on Every Device!

I've been using Drafts for many years. It's on the Dock on all my devices. It has so many uses, but one I haven't seen mentioned - I used it for 9 months while thru hiking the Appalachian Trail. I used it to make detailed notes, including quick notes about other hikers I met. This was done on my iPhone 13 mini in airplane mode. One of the great things about the app is it geotags notes no matter what platform you use it [i also used it on my Watch while hiking]. This gives me a map of where and when I encountered different people and experiences.

The powerful tagging features allow automatic or nearly automatic sorting and filing, and just - it is so fast! For all the features it has, the app performs reliably and quickly each and every time. And the abillity to extend the app, use it with other apps like OmniFocus, is just amazing. Kudos to the developer for creating such a useful tool. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Indispensible

The arrival of the Mac version enhances the usefulness of the iOS version that I've come to rely on for quick capture of notes, information, or longer article-writing tasks.

The two greatest features of this are: 1) It's available on all my devices with fast startup. On the Mac there's a menu bar icon for quick capture. It is my 1st stop when I have an idea and AFTER I type it I can decide if it's a note for export to Evernote, a to do for export to ToDoist, an email or tweet for export to the appropriate tool. 2) It uses MarkDown, a simple-to-learn way of formatting your text without having to reach for a menu: bullets, numbered lists, italics, bold, headers, or indent.

One major hassle

I love Drafts and I've been using it for many years. I started using it in iOS before it was even available on Mac. In the beginning, the functionality that I enjoyed the most was the ability to reorder lines. Unfortunately, that is extremely frustrating in the currrent Mac app. The reason is that it is necessary to move in and out of the reordering mode in order to both edit and reorder the lines. I would love to just be able to edit and reorder simultenously without having to flip between different modes and start all over again at the top of the draft and find my place again. Even if it was possible to "turn on" reordering in same edit window, then that would make it so much easier. Thanks!

Developer Response ,

You might want to install actions in your action bar (above the keyboard) for moving lines up and down. That sounds generally like what you need and would not require switching mode.
