Drafts 4 launched for better capturing of notes on iPhone and iPad


Draft 4 on iPhone 6



Drafts, the popular iOS note capturing app, has just launched a big new update. Drafts 4 is now available for both the iPhone and iPad and it's currently priced at $4.99 until October 23, when it will go up to its normal $9.99 price tag.


Here's a list of a few of the highlights in Drafts 4:



  • New, Universal, fully-adaptive app that may be one of the first to truly shine on the new iPhones – especially the 6 Plus.

  • Location data (creation/modification) and version histories stored for all drafts.

  • Actions are now multi-step. The kind of advanced actions that previously required complicated chaining of URLs can now be easily setup. Basically, anything that was an "Action" in previous versions of Drafts is now a single step and can be combined with other steps in a single action – so you can setup things like "post to Twitter, post to Facebook, log to Dropbox" in a single tap.

  • Organizing/Creating actions is done right in the action list and much simpler and more customizable than before.

  • JavaScript support to manipulate text for advanced functionality.

  • Great new Action Directory with commenting and "Post to Directory" functionality in app to share user-created actions.

  • Share/Today extensions. Support for document picker import/export.


What do you think of this rather large update?
