Requires a subscription to Drafts Pro on iOS to sync properly, but works pretty well for me. Currently supports most of the basic features, just not "actions" so it is more of a desktop companion for the iOS app than a full fledged standalone app. (They say future versions will get actions as well.)

This makes Drafts 5 for iOS much more useful for me. To learn about the kinds of things Drafts on iOS can do, be sure to visit the action directory:

Excellent news. Thank you. The new app for Mac is very useful even without actions. I like too the quick capture widget and menu bar widget. Drafts will give Bear, DayOne, Keep It, and others, a run for the money. The Drafts Pro subscription is proving to be a good investment — nice to see a developer actually deliver on their promise of new value in return for the subscription.

Huge fan of Greg and AgileTortoise in general. Drafts for Mac is a game changer for those of us who love Drafts 5 on iOS but always needed the cross-platform functionality to replace apps like Bear, Keep-It, Notes, etc. Can't wait for actions and the in-built JavaScript engine to come to Drafts for Mac!

Now out of beta and available on the Mac App Store

Thank you for the update, Lucas.

I like Drafts 5, and I already have $19.99/year Pro because I use the pro features on iOS -- the subscription covers iOS and macOS. I am not holding my breath to see Actions added to Drafts 5 on macOS. It it can be done, great, but I suspect it is a very difficult feat to make Actions that work on iOS work the same on macOS.

I downloaded it and it synced over all my iOS texts. Haven't tested sync of subsequent edits yet, though.

MacStories wrote a comprehensive and very positive review yesterday: https://www.macstories.net/reviews/drafts-5-mac/ The app sounds very useful, not just if you use Drafts for iOS and even without the equivalent of the iOS app's actions.

And thanks to Luhmann for the signpost.

Yes, as far as I can tell, although a Pro subscription was required during beta, the sync between iOS and Mac now works even without a subscription. Features exclusive to Pro are listed here:
