About
Release a message into the ocean — and let real ocean currents carry it around the world.
Bottle Drift World is a calm, beautiful message-in-a-bottle app. Your bottle doesn't just appear somewhere random: it drifts day by day on real ocean current data, following the Kuroshio, the Gulf Stream and every eddy in between, until someone, somewhere, picks it up.
HOW IT WORKS
• Write a short message in any language
• Release it from the nearest coast — your exact location is never shared
• Watch it drift with the real ocean currents, day after day
• Find bottles from people all over the world and pick them up
• Get notified when someone finds your bottle — with where it was found, how many days it drifted and how far it travelled
FEATURES
• Real ocean currents — bottles follow measured surface currents, so a bottle from Tokyo rides the Kuroshio and a bottle in an enclosed sea stays there
• Animated currents on the map — see the ocean flowing beneath your bottles (tap to turn on or off)
• 30-day drift forecast — see where your bottle is likely to go before you release it
• Postmark stamps — every bottle carries a stamp from the country it was sent from, with the date in that country's own language
• "Your bottle was found!" notifications
• History of every bottle you've sent and found, with the place, date, distance and days at sea
• Worldwide map with bottles from every ocean
• Available in English, Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Korean and Portuguese
• Works on iPhone and iPad
SAFE AND RESPECTFUL
• No sign-up — just choose a username
• Your exact location is never shown; bottles start from the nearest coastline
• Messages with offensive words, links, phone numbers or social media IDs are blocked
• Report any bottle or block any user with one tap
• Reported content is reviewed and removed
Every bottle is a small story of the sea. Write one today and see where the ocean takes it.
