I’ve been looking for something like this for years. Just give me a blank screen to type some stuff that I can cut and paste. Don’t make me create new notes and save them. Just let me type out my Facebook rant without risking hitting the send button to soon.

I love it. It'll be excellent if dark mode is available.

Simply Beautiful (and vice-versa)

Nothing but text editing. I looked and looked for something like this. My favorite feature is the “ready-to-type” interface — you run the app and the first thing it shows is a cursor, not a list of text files with a “plus” sign that you must tap BEFORE you can type. Just run the app and start typing.

Brilliant!

I just discovered this app and have only used it for less than an hour and I already love it. It takes a lot for me to get super excited about an app and then want to go and review it so quickly after acquiring, but I think Draftpad is brilliant because it's simple. It does one thing and one thing only. I use my fair share of multi-featured apps but it's just nice to have something with a simplistic layout. It really is like a sheet of paper. The only thing I wish this app could do is once you close it, all text in the draft get automatically deleted--or maybe have an autodelete on/off. This might be useful if the user's primary way of exporting the text is via the iOS Share sheet. Still, it's not a dealbreaker; you can simply cut, then copy to the clipboard, then paste it into wherever it's going to go. It's great that it's free, but I would have happily paid and supported the developer's work. (Developing any app takes time and doesn't happenat warp speed contrary to what many end users might think.)

I used this app for the longest time, and now that it’s back I have to say it’s still one of the best composition apps out there

Good!
