The planning part is easy.
Drifft makes sure the work actually happens.
Say what you need to get done. Drifft cuts it to what one sitting can finish, blocks your distractions on your Mac and your iPhone, then reads what moved and shapes the next one around it.
Protecting “Ship the pricing page”. Back to it.
Where the day actually goes.
You opened the tab you meant to avoid, and looked up ninety minutes later.
The thing that matters has moved to tomorrow four days running.
Busy all day, and the one result you cared about did not move.
None of that is a planning problem. You had a plan.
Planners remind you. Drifft holds you to it.
One result. One protected session. Four beats, on both devices.
Protecting “Ship the pricing page”. Back to it.
Say it rough. Drifft cuts it to what you can finish.
Brain dump it, however it comes out. Drifft frames it into a commitment: the result that proves it moved, the minimum that still counts, and the first sitting to start with. Too big for one sitting, and it cuts it into two or three, each sized to how long you actually focus.
One session blocks your distractions, on iPhone and Mac.
Not a reminder. A real block, on both devices, for as long as the session runs. There is always a way out, and it is never a lockout. If a block is not enough, put a person on it.
Drift or get stuck, and a tap pulls you back.
Your Mac sees the site in front. Drifft names the drift. Slipping is not the failure. Staying gone is. One tap gets you the next small move.
Drifft reads what moved and learns what works. Your next session starts sharper.
A timer tells you it was ninety minutes. Drifft tells you which apps the time actually went to, how much of it was in the tools this work needs, and pre-picks the outcome. You change it in one tap.
Drifft sees the app, site or document in front of you, and how much you wrote. Never what you wrote, never your screen.
Sites, not just apps.
YouTube in your browser is drift. Your own work in the same browser is not.
Your commitment sets the rules.
Each commitment names its own relevant sites. Research on Reddit does not get nudged off Reddit.
Nowhere to hide a tab.
Nudges land on top of full-screen apps, and staying gone ends in a real full-screen block.
Running over is not a failure.
Past your planned time, Drifft keeps protecting. The plan is spent, the work is not, and it ends when you end it.
Say it out loud.
Double-tap Control anywhere on your Mac and a small card appears over whatever you are doing. Say the work. It types back.
- Start it, pause it, say you are stuck, ask what your afternoon looks like. You never have to go and find the app.
- The dictation happens on your Mac, and it needs no permission the app does not already have.
It types back, and it never talks. Nobody wants a voice in the room they work in.
Control is the default. Any modifier you prefer works instead.
What it forgets, and what it remembers.
Today’s commitments do not roll over. At the end of the day, whatever you did not do is gone, and tomorrow starts empty. No backlog, no red, no list of everything you have ever failed to get to.
Three a day, maximum. That is not a limit we are selling you out of; it is how many results one person finishes in one day.
What it keeps is you. How long you actually focus on writing, as opposed to what you estimated. Which hours hold and which ones leak. What pulls you back when you drift. By the end of the first week it will have told you something about how you work that you did not tell it.
- Your coding sessions run about 15% past what you plan for them.
- Your mornings hold. Afternoons leak after 3pm.
- Figma turns up in this work more than you said it would.
So the next commitment is sized by what happened, not by what you hoped.
Or put someone on it.
For the ones you cannot afford to skip.
Naming a person changes whether you do it. Not a setting, not a score. One human who finds out how it went.
- No app, no account. You send them a link from your own messages.
- They see the commitment and one word for how it is going, live. They can nudge you.
- Anything more than that, you send yourself.
Drifft never shows them your apps, your sites, your screen or your history. Drifft has no phone number for them and will never message them itself.
No app. No account. Just this page.
What Drifft will never do.
Never shame you.
No streaks, no guilt screens. A slip is recoverable, not a verdict.
Never lock you out.
There is always a way out, on both devices.
Never watch your screen.
Only the app, site or document in front, and how much you wrote. Never what you wrote.
Never send anything on your behalf.
Nothing reaches a witness unless you send it.
Never decide for you.
Drifft offers a read. The record is the word you pick.
Never invent a consequence.
Anything that happens, you agreed to first.
Never become another list.
Today’s commitments expire tonight, and it can read your calendar to suggest what to protect, never to add a second inbox.
Never hold your data hostage.
Delete all of it, any time, from Settings.
The part a to-do list throws away.
A checked box tells you nothing a week later. Drifft keeps the result, what actually moved, and a record that grows with every session you finish.
At the end, Drifft says what it saw and pre-picks an outcome. You change it in one tap. It reads the work; you rule on it.
Which apps the time went to, how long you were actually at the keyboard, and how much of the session was in the tools this work needs.
Run it enough and the loop stops being an app you open. It becomes how you start work.
Seven days. Everything. No card.
The whole loop, every feature, for a week. No card up front, and nothing to cancel if you walk away.
What it costs after that is not settled yet, and we would rather say so than put a number on this page we have to take back.
Waitlist members see the full offer first. Joining does not commit you to anything.
The questions that actually matter.
What is Drifft?
An accountability app for the gap between deciding and doing. You name one real result, Drifft cuts it to what one sitting can finish, blocks what pulls you off while you work, then reads what moved and shapes the next one around it. A Mac app, with an iPhone app alongside it.
Do I need the iPhone app?
No. The Mac is the whole product: you can sign up, plan the day, run every session and see the record without touching your phone. The phone is there because the phone next to your keyboard is where a Mac block sends you.
Is this just another app blocker?
Blockers protect time. Drifft protects a result. The commitment you wrote is what decides which apps get blocked, and the block is what makes the record at the end mean anything. It is one mechanism, not a timer next to a blocklist.
Is it a planner or a to-do app?
No, and it is built to be bad at being one. Planners hold your intentions and they are good at it. Drifft handles what happens after you have decided, and today’s commitments expire tonight, so nothing accumulates.
Why does it throw away what I did not finish?
Because a list that carries yesterday forward stops being a plan and starts being a record of everything you have not done. Three a day, and tomorrow starts empty. What survives is the ledger of what you actually finished, and what Drifft learned about how you work.
Can I get out of a block?
Always. The card is one tap. The full screen asks you to hold the button for a few seconds first, and then opens that one site for ten minutes. Drifft is friction, not a cage. It never locks you out, and it never will.
What does it actually block?
On your Mac, a full-screen block over the distraction, and it knows the difference between the site you are working in and the one you slipped to. On your iPhone, the apps you pick, using Apple's Screen Time system. One session covers both.
Does it watch what I do?
It reads which app, site or document is in front, and how much you wrote. Never your screen, never what you wrote or read. Drifft never takes a screenshot; the only images in the product are ones you attach yourself. You choose what it watches, and you can turn it off or delete everything at any time.
Does it need the AI to work?
No, and that is deliberate. The blocking, the drift catching, and the record are real mechanisms, not chatbot output. What the coach adds is the personal part: it sharpens a vague commitment into a result, learns which apps and sites belong to your work, and writes the words that pull you back. Turn it off and the line still holds.
What happens when I fail?
You say what actually happened, including that you had to stop for a real reason. Drifft records it honestly and moves on. There is no streak to break and nothing to feel bad about.
