With Drafts supporting Live Activities now with their pinned drafts, I’ve been using Drafts as a “post-it note task list” for when I need to write a few tasks down somewhere and check them off over the next couple hours. I got stuck trying to make an action to format the list and automatically pin the draft.
I want to go from this:
task 1
task 2
task 3
To this:
Thu, Apr 13
[ ] task 1
[ ] task 2
[ ] task 3
Could someone help me with getting this text transformation to happen in a Drafts action?
I’ve tried a bunch of ideas but I can’t figure out the best way to get the draft formatting like this. Here’s what I’ve got down so far:
-
The date formatting for the first line: [date|%A, %b %e]
-
Once the text is formatted, the “Configure Window” step in an action can enable the pin. This action can also enable link mode! Could be a cool addition if you include links with your tasks.
-
The pin/live activity behavior can be customized in the settings.
Thanks and be well!
