Quick Draft: Simple Scratchpad

This is one of those apps I think should exist before realizing, hey, it actually exists! Perfect for my use case of needing an infinite text file that’s super easy to find and use and syncs between Mac and iPhone. Awesome app!

When im in a meeting and i need to rapidly start jotting down something that someones is saying, this app with a configured hot key hits all the boxes. If I could suggest one massively cool feature though... let me choose the file location where the quickdraft "lives". Being able to have it pump directly into obsidian or something by simply having it in my obsidian vault would let me come back to it later and then organize/iterate on the thoughts I wrote down with this app. Assuming this is markdown, this should play right into obsidian.

I desperately wish this had an Apple Watch app. The swipe keyboard has gotten good enough that Quick Draft would be *perfect* for jotting down quick notes, ideas, and information so they’re available to move to the appropriate place when I’m back on my Mac or iDevice. So far I haven’t found an alternative, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who would appreciate it.

Wish it had a widget option. Another app like this does and it just seems to improve the experience and simplicity of the app.

Love the functionality and minimalistic simplicity of the app. The only thing I'm missing would be widgets to see at least part of the note, and to allow quick opening from it. I wouldn't mind a few more options of icons in the Mac version for the menubar as well. Well worth the money.

Great idea, but crashes frequently

I like the simplicity of the app. Although I like it, I do not see the reason to use this over IA Writer if you own that app. The look and feel of this app is very close to IA Writer. The main difference between the two is Qd has an icon in the menu bar and IA Writer does not. I am not knockng down this app but rather just noting some observations. If you don't own IA Writer then I recommend this app. Support the developer because they did a good job.

Took a quicklook at the app. Looks promising, however, there's no find/search feature. I think with the search feature it would be perfectly priced.

If you're looking for a simple digital notepad that syncs seemesly across all your devices (honestly) look no further. It does what it says on the box without any unncessary distractions, offers apps for all your gadgets and is just great for that quick note you want to make.

100% what I needed. A simply place I can activate instantly to mark down some text. Super simple, super quick — jsut great.
