About Blind Draft

One small app for one problem: finishing first drafts.

Blind Draft is a writing app for iPhone and iPad that hides or blurs your earlier words while you write, so you stop editing and finish the first draft. It launched on the App Store in June 2026.

Who makes it

Blind Draft is made by IdeaForgeLabs, a small independent studio. We design, build, write and support the app ourselves.

How it's built

  • Native Swift and SwiftUI app for iPhone and iPad
  • Drafts stored on your device only, with no account, no analytics and no server
  • Free to use, with an optional one-time Pro purchase, no subscription

What this site is

The guides on this site are practical writing advice: how to finish drafts, freewrite, run writing sprints and stop editing while you write. They're written to be useful whether or not you use the app. When we compare Blind Draft with other tools, we link to the sources we used and say when details may have changed.
