Starting with version 4.2, Drafts includes an Apple Watch companion app to extend the quick capture capabilities of Drafts to your wrist.  Features of the Apple Watch app include:

  • Capture new drafts with dictation.
  • Browse and view inbox drafts.
  • Archive and delete drafts.
  • Append or prepend to drafts with dictation.

    I LOVE Drafts and especially because you can access the inbox on the Apple Watch.

    One thing that I'd really love to see though - is an option to turn off the automatic dictation start when one presses the Drafts complication.

    If you're like me and use the AW app mainly for reading your drafts and hardly ever create new ones on the AW, that auto start of the dictation function gets quite annoying and slows down the use of the app significantly.

    Would it be possible for you guys to add that option?

    Thanks for a killer app!

    The drafts texts that are created and stored on the apple watch do not sync with my iphone Drafts app. What steps do I need to take in order to get them on my iphone for additional processing?. Note, I am running the latest versions of iOS on both apple watch and iPhone (watch os 4.2 and iOS 11.2.1 respectively).  Thank you.

    Hello,

    I removed the app from my 1st-Gen Apple Watch (series 0 from 2015) and can't reinstall it.

    Since that first occured, I upgraded to the AW 3 but still cannot reinstall, even after  removing and reinstalling Drafts from/on the iPhone.

    Any idea ?

    Make sure your Watch is updated to watchOS 4.2. It is required for the latest version of the Watch app.

    I have the latest Watch OS 4.2 and I'm having the same problem.  iPhone running 11.2.2 sinks with iPad Pro 11.2.2.  Voice dictations on the watch don't sink over to the other devices. Thanks for your help!

    I have Drafts on my iPhone but can't seem to add it as a complication to my Apple Watch. Can you provide me some direction how to do so? Thanks
