Overview

• Instant access via hotkey - Press Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+D to show the draft window from any application

• One-action clear - Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+L clears the draft
• Drafts persist - Drafts are restored even after closing the window or restarting the app

Feature	Description
Tray resident	Stays in the system tray, always ready to be called

Default Keyboard Shortcuts

Action	Key

Note: On macOS, Cmd is used instead of Ctrl. You can customize all hotkeys from the settings screen.

All hotkeys can be customized from the settings screen (tray icon → Settings).

Installation

macOS

xattr -cr /Applications/DraftDock.app
