Drafts for iOS ([Drafts for iPhone $2.99](https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=528&GR%5FURL=https%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fdrafts%252Fid502385074%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30&ref=chrisenns.com), [Drafts for iPad $3.99](https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=528&GR%5FURL=https%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fdrafts-for-ipad%252Fid542797283%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30&ref=chrisenns.com)) is like most great apps that look so simple that's almost perplexing how you might use it but then you come across one little tip or trick and all of a sudden the app just opens up to you.

Blank screen in Drafts

*Maybe that's just me?*

Reading through [Advanced Tips for Drafts App](https://georgecoghill.wordpress.com/2013/03/07/advanced-tips-for-drafts-app/?ref=chrisenns.com) my brain hurts a bit trying to figure out how I might use Drafts. The idea of appending notes to a text file in Dropbox is awesome and confusing at the same time.

So my simple use for Drafts right now is to post a tweet without having to actually log in to Twitter.

Why would I want to do that?

Well if I load up [Tweetbot](https://target.georiot.com/Proxy.ashx?tsid=528&GR%5FURL=https%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fartist%252Ftapbots%252Fid293642940%253Fuo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30&ref=chrisenns.com) then I see the stream of tweets that I haven't read since I last looked, plus any replies or mentions I might have gotten as well. Not that I'm **so** popular that I have a lot of either, but it still pulls me in to keep up.

Here's how it works with Drafts in a few screenshots.

Here's that tweet:

Fancy hey?

Like I said at the beginning, I've barely scratched the surface of how I could be using Drafts. I'm beginning to use it to send tasks and thoughts to Omnifocus, also to send entries to Day One but I often forget and just end up using the apps directly. Which is fine - except that on my iPhone 4 Drafts starts up much quicker than either of those two apps.

Have you used Drafts yet? I'm curious how you've integrated it into your workflow.
