Drafts are the core of Rundraft. You can create as many as you need, keep them organized, and pick up right where you left off — your work is always saved automatically.

​
Creating a draft

1

Open Rundraft

Launch Rundraft from your Applications folder or the menu bar.
2

Start a new draft

Click the New Draft button in the toolbar, or go to File > New Draft in the menu bar.
3

Give your draft a title

Click the title field at the top of the editor and type a name. Titles help you find drafts quickly in your list.
4

Write your content

Click in the editor area below the title and start typing. The editor supports plain text and Markdown formatting.
Press ⌘N to create a new draft from anywhere in the app without reaching for the mouse.

​
Editing a draft

Click any draft in the sidebar to open it. The editor is always ready — click anywhere in the content area to place your cursor and start typing. You can edit the title at any time by clicking it at the top of the draft.

​
Auto-save

Rundraft saves your work automatically as you type. There is no Save button to click. If you close a draft or quit the app, your content is preserved exactly as you left it.

​
Organizing drafts

Keep your drafts tidy using folders and tags:
  • Folders — Right-click in the sidebar and select New Folder to group related drafts together. Drag drafts into any folder to move them.
  • Tags — Open a draft and click Add Tag in the inspector panel on the right. Tags appear in the sidebar so you can filter drafts by topic or project.
To rename a folder, double-click its name in the sidebar and type a new one.

​
Deleting a draft

To delete a draft, right-click it in the sidebar and select Move to Trash. You can also select the draft and press ⌘Delete.
Deleted drafts go to the Trash and are removed permanently when you empty it. Make sure you have exported or copied any content you want to keep before deleting.
