Drafts
Drafts is a powerful text capture and automation app for Apple platforms (iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch). It allows you to quickly capture text and send it to other apps and services through actions. Protocol Launcher allows you to generate deep links to create, edit, and manage drafts in Drafts.
Usage
There are two ways to use this library:
- On-Demand import from subpaths enables tree-shaking and keeps bundles small.
- Full Import from the root package is convenient but includes all app modules.
Pick On-Demand for production builds; Full Import is fine for quick scripts or demos.
