Drafts
Drafts is a quick-capture notes and text automation app for Mac from Agiletortoise, designed for creating, organizing, and acting on plain-text drafts.
What is Drafts?
Drafts is a note-taking and text capture app for Mac published by Agiletortoise. Its core workflow is built around opening directly to an editor so you can capture text immediately, then organize drafts using inbox, archive, flags, tags, and search. The app supports plain text and Markdown editing, version history, cross-linking between drafts, and flexible filtering tools for larger note collections. On macOS, it also integrates with a menu bar capture window for quick entry and includes Mac-specific automation support such as AppleScript integration and external command-line and MCP-related workflows documented by the publisher. Drafts is commonly used for note capture, writing, task staging, research snippets, and sending text into other apps and services through actions and automations. Users typically encounter its files through app preferences, caches, containers, and iCloud-based backup or export features rather than traditional document folders.
