Drafts

Where text starts

View

Whether you’re writing a tweet, email, Evernote entry, school report, or memoir, Drafts is a great place to begin. This powerful text editor streamlines the process of capturing and perfecting your prose—and lets you send along what you’ve composed to another app with a tap.

To ensure you can get your ideas down fast, Drafts always opens to its text-entry screen. Wordsmiths will appreciate having a running tally of the word count visible, as well as the handy buttons Drafts puts right above the keyboard. Use these to precisely control the cursor, indent, insert today’s date, and more.

Use Drafts to create tappable checklists and format everything with Markdown.

When it comes to editing on a touchscreen, Drafts really shines. There's a clever mode to rearrange paragraphs and sentences by dragging and dropping. The format screen gives you granular control over everything from margins to character spacing and line height. Drafts also makes it easy to capitalize selected text or make it title case.

On iPad, Drafts is even more powerful. For efficient multitasking, use Split View, Slide Over, and multiple windows to drag and drop images and text into your document. Or open two instances of the app to see a Markdown doc and a live preview side by side.

The free version of Drafts is incredibly full featured. A subscription unlocks themes, the ability to create workspaces, and more.
