What it does

Quick prompts without living in a full editor.

Drafty keeps the small Codex tasks close to the terminal. Use a global shortcut for quick tasks, attach files, or open a focused prompt editor from your CLI flow.

iPhone companion

iPhone task capture for your Mac.

Pair Drafty for iPhone with one or more Macs, switch the target Mac from the bottom-left picker, and send a prompt straight into the Mac app. It is useful for capturing a thought away from the keyboard, attaching context, or starting a Terminal editor handoff without interrupting what is on screen.

The iPhone companion requires Drafty for Mac and is currently distributed through TestFlight.
