Draught · Release notes
1.1.0
Jul 2026
Edit in place: rewrite a selected passage without writing around it.
New
·Edit in place. Select a passage and a quiet Edit button appears beside it. The passage opens right in the page: the original stays visible above, dimmed, and you compose the new version below in the same column. Replace swaps it in one clean move; Cancel leaves the document exactly as it was. A replace is a normal edit in your history, just as easy to roll back.
·Returned feedback reads in place. The file a reviewer sends back shows your full draft with each note sitting directly under the passage it's about, no list at the bottom to cross-reference. It's a plain .html anyone can open in a browser; neither side of the exchange ever needs an app installed.
·A seeded title page. A new screenplay starts with a real Fountain title block, and the Insert menu carries the screenplay furniture so you never type markup from memory.
·A note can become a check-in. Select a note in the Notes drawer and "Log as check-in" sends that thought to the project's record; Provenance shows it on the timeline as a real check-in, dated to when you jotted it. Notes you don't log stay private.
Improved
·Feedback finds you where you write. When a returned feedback file exists for the open piece, a quiet "Feedback N" appears in the header beside Scraps and Notes; clicking it hands the project to Provenance, where the feedback lives.
Fixed
·Hidden files can't lose their tabs. iCloud sometimes marks synced files as hidden; the tab strip now sees them anyway. Also fixed: the caret at the edges of a long wrapped line, invisible line-separator characters from pasted text, and clicking below your last line now puts the cursor at the end.

Welcome to Draught.
New
·A near-empty canvas. One centered column, a quiet header, and the word count as the only visible control. The writing is the interface.
·It quietly remembers. Make a file a project and Draught keeps versions as you write. Click the word count to see how the work grew, read any past version, or bring one back.
·The folder is your tabs. Every file in the folder sits on the top line, so you can see what you’re working on without going looking. A green dot means the folder is tracked.
·A screenplay lens. Fountain formatting that falls out of typing — the file stays plain text, and Tab is only the escape hatch.
·Scraps and Notes. Cut text lands in a per-manuscript drawer to reuse later; a Notes panel keeps the thoughts beside the draft.
·Exports beautifully. A clean reading page, a submittable manuscript, a book, or a proper screenplay, each as a PDF.
