DraftPad app for note capture

MacBook Pro | iPhone | iPad are the tools I seek to weave into a fabric of utility.  I have been searching for a proper workflow for my writing that will support blogging, work, and personal organization with the most stripped down and simplistic interface possible.

I want my notes to be as "program agnostic" as possible- in other words, when I lose an app due to it becoming obsolete and unsupported, or due to changing platforms, I don't want to also lose the writing within, my work.  I have been following Patrick Rhone on his beautiful blog MinimalMac to get up to speed with my goals as easily as possible, learning from those who go before me.

DraftPad is an app that attempts to take the acetic ethic as far as it can go on a device.  Here is what the business end of the app looks like- as simple as it gets, and as fast as it gets.

The working view of DraftPad

I have scoured the internet for reviews, tips, discussions and reviews of the DraftPad app.  With one exception, what I read leads me to believe that any review of the app is required to either plagiarize or properly use Kyle VanHemert's writing, so here it is:
"If anyone's ever said "QUICK jot this down," and you went for pen and paper before your iPhone because you weren't immediately sure where to type (I nervously default to the universal search bar), then DraftPad is for you.


Now I can perhaps inject my own individual thinking.  


First, to all the so called bloggers who write reviews by copying and pasting them: SHAME ON YOU!  You are pointless wastes of binary code.  If you want to do this, write at least something that contributes.  


Second, here is my contribution.  
This little app is just what it advertises itself to be- a simple and fast way to capture a note as expeditiously as possible.  You then decide what to do with it, later.  This is ideal for me.  I often find myself too concerned with how to file or tag the note, thinking ahead to it's ultimate use.  I should just jot it down and move on.  


With the iPhone native Notes I could do that, but honestly, DraftPad is even better to use.  Both are searchable, but when it comes time to do something with my draft, in DraftPad when I open the app it is a blank sheet to write on.  (Tip, when you are done, use the "Clear All Text" assist to clean off your slate for next time.)  After writing, I can make use of the cool little assists.  With a simple touch and flick I send the note to Evernote,  Twitter,  Email, Omnifocus, a search, an SMS, or any of dozens of other apps.   


The way to search and find notes left from previous sessions is to look in the history.  Simple and effective.  Enter the search term, and voila, not anything unique, but it works.  The document is essentially a single file, and the notes are entries that are separated by time.  


The developer, Manabu Ueno keeps these assists in a library on the website, and tells us you can write your own, though I have had no success.  You see, the one app I want to send notes to is SimpleNote, and I can't find an assist for that.  It seems the SimpleNote API is not open, or some such developer speak.  I know you have to request it from SimpleNote, and they judge if the use is going to work.  I hope someone figures it out, in the meantime I use the handy assist "Copy all text" and paste in in SimpleNote.
