Why CueDraft

Built for repeated writing, not repeated effort.

Works in every app

Use saved text in email, chat, docs, browsers, terminals, and IDEs from one keyboard-driven flow.

Find the right snippet fast

Search your saved content instantly by title or text so you can stay in flow.

Organize by context

Group snippets into categories like Work, Support, Personal, or Projects to reduce clutter.

Handle fill-in details cleanly

Use variables for names, dates, IDs, and project details so reusable text still feels specific.

Private by default

Your snippets stay on your machine with no telemetry, accounts, or cloud sync.

Runs locally on Windows and Linux

Install once and keep your snippet library available system-wide.

Private by default, not as an afterthought.

CueDraft is for text you use every day, including things you do not want passing through someone else's servers. Everything stays local, with no account, no sync dependency, and no telemetry.

No network calls
No servers, no APIs, and no cloud sync to depend on.
No telemetry
Nothing is tracked, logged, or reported.
Stored locally
Your snippets stay in ~/.config/cuedraft/ on your machine.
