No joke, this app saved my life

I won’t get into the complexities and nightmare that I was living until recently, I’ve used Drafts for a long time. After Covid, I became homeless. I really had to pinch pennies. I’ve pirated apps for as long as I can remember. Being homeless I really had to focus on my limited resources and the tools that were available to get out of my situation. Drafts Pro was the only subscription I had. Pretty much period. No car, no insurance, no iPhone anymore, just my old Mac and hoping it doesn’t get stolen and that I can find an outlet with electricity and internet. My mind, my brain, my life was in shambles. I stuck with drafts pro, it was the only thing that made me feel like I still have my thoughts under control and that I can still keep track outside of the control I was losing.

I’m happy to say that my life turned around. It took over 3 years, probably over 5. I know I don’t use this app to its full potential, but it saved my life. Their low price point allowed me to still utilize the pro features in my darkest hours. You are an idiot if you can’t find value in the multiple areas this app helps you maintain control over the chaos that life can become.

Love the app, not the subscriptions.

I’ve been using drafts since version 4 came out. It changed the way I work, and I love using it to enter and manipulate text. I’ve been playing around with Drafts 5 and the app is amazing. There’s so much power in the free app, and the pro subscriptions adds some great options for power users. Thing is, I’m not a power user, but I’m more than willing to pay for the features I use. My biggest issue is that I dislike and avoid app subscriptions. I like that when I pay for an app, even if the company disappears tomorrow, I can continue to use the app for years to come. I’m also not thrilled that dark mode is behind the subscription wall, I’d pay a few dollars to have a dark mode, I find it much easier on my eyes, but can’t justify the subscription just for dark mode, since it’s the only tool I would use from the subscription. Fortunately, I can continue using drafts 4 with its dark mode. Sure, I’ll miss out on all the new features in the free app, but that’s how much I dislike day mode. Just writing this review is burning my eyes. But my issues say nothing about the app itself which is wonderful. Definitely give the free mode a spin, and if you like scripting and having full control and aren’t opposed to renting apps, the sub is a great value. But for me it’s less than ideal as it’s currently set up. Hopefully down the line, the developer will consider making dark mode an optional in app purchase for those that don’t or can’t subscribe.

Wow, just wow!

I never thought I needed an app like this, then I hear them talk about it all the time on Mac Power Users and Automators podcast so I thought I would give it a try. It seems overwhelming at first with all of the options but once you configure a few actions you’ll never go back. There is enough free to the app that you could use it without the IAP - I wouldn’t recommend it though, the customizable nature of the app is unlocked when you subscribe. Also, this dude is an indie dev so there isn’t multi unicorn level of funding keeping this product alive - you’re literally making this viable for him, so hit subscribe - you’ll thank me later.

Also, the quick dictate function on the watch is a GAME CHANGER. Tap the complication, tap the microphone and record your thought. Then when you have time to process, open the app on your iPhone/Mac and manipulate the text with the actions. It literally lets you dump what you’re thinking into an app with the least amount of friction. The best part is the text isn’t stuck in this app, which is the whole point. Give it a go!
