Some of the best writing tools for the first draft are the following:

Microsoft Word, an all-purpose writing tool that can be used for drafts, notes, or final formatting.
Scrivener, a drafting tool that is used to efficiently create your initial draft using an in-depth set of tools for taking down ideas and quickly accessing them as well as plan your story easily.
Google Docs, a free tool that can be used for not only notes but act as a drafting tool with automatic cloud saving.

Personally, I find Google Docs is almost 100% the best choice for a free writing software, with dozens of plugins that you can find online for it. However, I've begun to grow the habit of using Scrivener to become more efficient in my work.
