Draft’s core writing experience now follows Jason Fried’s original demonstration and his follow-up notes more closely.

  • Hover and arrow through wordings in context, with a lower tone when returning to the original.
  • Compare words, sentences, and paragraphs. Type ?? in the alternatives panel for AI ideas.
  • Write in Markdown throughout the draft, alternatives, and independent overflow panel.
  • Right-click to format text, add a link, Ghost it, Revive it, or request alternatives.
  • Preview omissions in the Lab, keep individual passages, walk through suggestions, and make cuts with undo.
  • Review spelling, punctuation, clarity, tone, and filler through the connected local agent.

Verified with 53 automated checks, a macOS desktop build, and live Claude and Codex writing requests. The original transcript and initial specification remain unchanged; the October 26 correction records the updated behavior.

This is an early Apple Silicon macOS alpha, ad-hoc signed and not notarized. Install this desktop build to receive the updated local runtime. The download includes matching editable source; writing files remain separate from the application.
