Craft

What is Craft?

Craft is a docs and notes editor for capturing ideas, turning them into documents, and sharing the result. It’s designed to keep writing, tasks, and planning connected so you can move from quick notes to more polished content without losing context.

The site describes Craft as a writing workspace that works across devices: you can capture ideas instantly (including from iPhone notes) and then refine them later. It also supports structured content types like docs, tasks, calendar items, and whiteboards.

Key Features

• Docs, tasks, calendar, and whiteboards in one editor: Use different views and content types—like documents, task lists, and planning surfaces—without leaving the writing workflow.
• Capture-first to document refinement: Start with quick notes and later transform them into documents suitable for sharing.
• Tasks embedded in documents: Craft connects “what you’re thinking” with “what needs to get done” by placing tasks directly inside documents.
• Templates and whiteboards: Start from templates and use whiteboards as an additional surface for organizing ideas.
• AI-assisted writing: The page references “Write with AIP” in the context of creating content in Craft.
• Publish and share: The site positions Craft for publishing/sharing content from within the editor.
• Integrations via MCP and APIs: Craft supports connections to tools through MCP Connections and API Integrations, and lists several example integrations/clients.
• Apple Shortcuts support: The integrations section specifically mentions Apple Shortcuts as an option for connecting Craft to other workflows.

How to Use Craft

1. Create a workspace for your content: Start with a doc, note, task list, calendar item, or whiteboard, depending on what you’re trying to capture.
2. Capture ideas as you go: Add quick notes and fragments while you’re thinking; the page indicates the workflow includes capturing ideas from devices such as iPhone notes.
3. Refine into shareable documents: When you’re ready, expand those ideas into a more structured document inside Craft.
4. Add tasks where they belong: Embed tasks directly in the document so your next actions stay connected to the content.
5. Publish or share: Use Craft’s publish & share capability to share what you’ve written.
6. Connect tools if needed: If you use automation or external tools, look at MCP Connections, API Integrations, and Apple Shortcuts to connect your workflow to Craft.

FAQ

• What kind of content can I create in Craft? The page describes docs, tasks, calendar items, whiteboards, and daily notes as content types available in the editor.

• Can I start with notes and later turn them into documents? Yes. The site specifically describes capturing ideas instantly and later refining them, including transforming iPhone notes into documents you can share.

Alternatives

• General-purpose note-taking apps: Apps focused primarily on notes rather than document publishing may be better for lightweight capture but less centered on converting notes into shareable documents.
• Wikis and knowledge bases: Tools built for structured documentation and personal wikis can work well for ongoing reference, though they may emphasize navigation over the doc-to-publish workflow described for Craft.
• Document editors with task/project features: Traditional writing tools plus separate task managers can replicate parts of the workflow, but may require switching contexts instead of embedding tasks in the same documents.
• AI-assisted writing platforms: Platforms that center on AI writing can support draft creation, but may not offer the same integrated task/document workflow highlighted on Craft’s page.
