Retrieve every draft you keep — a fast, focused macOS editor with a calm dark workspace.
Requires macOS 26 or later · Apple silicon
CodeDraft began as two stubborn wishes — and it honours both, completely.
Open anything you’re handed. A zip, a binary, a PDF, a .docx, an unknown blob — there’s always a way in. Drop it on the menu-bar icon and it opens. Every time.
Lose nothing you write. Code, a credential, a command, an email draft, a stray comment — saved the instant it exists, and found again in a keystroke.
Not a fork bolted onto an aging core. CodeDraft’s v2 engine was written from the very first line with one priority: maximum performance. Text streams straight from a memory-mapped piece table instead of being loaded whole — so launch is instant in most cases, and even a 1 GB file opens before you blink.
Theoretical engineering targets, measured end-to-end on the headless engine (Apple silicon). Real numbers vary with disk, file and machine — but the architecture is built so the common case is always the fast case.
Every number below comes from CodeDraft's own BenchKit gate suite —
the same one that has to pass before a release ships. We ran it just now, live — it could still surprise us.
The 1 GB one just opened in less time than this sentence took to read.

benchmarks.json. Kept here next to the engine section above for side-by-side comparison,
not as its replacement.
A few of the details CodeDraft gets right for you every day — animated by hand, never stock.
Draft some code, jot a note, or just start typing. Everything you write is archived to your folder the moment it exists — no Save dialog, no lost scratch. Organized on disk, easy to manage, always yours.
A search engine built on Apple's Swift frameworks indexes every draft. Type a rough, half-remembered, typo-ridden query and the ensemble ranker still surfaces the right snippet — exact, prefix, stem, typo, trigram and on-device semantic signals, combined.
UI controls — buttons, toggles, sliders, focus rings — pick up the active theme's accent instead of the macOS default.
Honestly, they're so good-looking you'll probably want to devour every last one. Don't say we didn't warn you.
