Replaced three writing apps

I've bounced between editors for years. Driftpad is the first one that gets out of the way completely. Focus mode is worth the subscription alone.

About Driftpad
Driftpad strips writing down to what matters: a full-screen page, beautiful typography, and nothing else. Drafts sync across every device you sign in on, and focus mode dims everything except the sentence you are working on. Export to Markdown, plain text, or share a read-only link.

Beautiful and fast

Opens instantly from my home screen, syncs before I even notice. It feels native, which I did not expect from a web app.
Almost perfect

Would love footnote support for longer essays. Otherwise this is the calmest writing tool I've used.
