SFD · Shitty First Draft

Get the first draft out.

Writing apps help with the easy half — outlines, fonts, folders. The hard half is producing a bad first version of something, and that's all SFD does. Forward only. Earlier lines lock and scroll away. You can make it good later, somewhere with a real keyboard.

Who makes this

SFD is one person: Daniel Kinney-Spears — the dks in the release notes. He writes fiction, and he spent his career writing proposals, where the draft is due whether you feel ready or not. Every writing app he tried helped him fuss. None of them helped him finish, so he built the one that does. He reads every email himself.

Support

Something broken, confusing, or missing? Email daniel@frwrd.team and a person — the person who built it — reads it.

Useful to include: what you tapped, what you expected, what happened instead. Your drafts live on your device as plain text, so nothing you send us is ever required to recover your words.

Privacy

The short version: SFD collects nothing and makes no network connections. The longer version is the privacy page, and it's barely longer.
