## What is DRFT?

Set a word. Zone out. Get alerted the moment it's said.

DRFT runs in the background and alerts you the instant your name — or any word you choose — is spoken. Speech recognition runs on-device: audio never leaves your phone. Tap the notification, read the AI summary of what was just said, and rejoin the conversation without ever scrubbing audio.

BUILT FOR
• ADHD and focus-sensitive workflows — catch what matters without forcing sustained attention
• Accessibility-friendly notifications — get pinged the moment someone calls your name
• Remote workers — background-monitor Zoom, Teams, and Meet calls for hours without babysitting them
• Students — catch every mention of the exam, the deadline, the thing that matters in a lecture or class

THE REAL POWER IS CUSTOM WORDS
Track a project name through a three-hour meeting. Know the second your professor drops the exam date. Catch a client mentioning your competitor. DRFT's on-device keyword detector catches your trigger word the instant it's spoken — so you don't have to.

NOT ANOTHER MEETING NOTETAKER
Other meeting assistants send a bot into your call and hand you a wall of transcript to read afterward. DRFT doesn't join anything and doesn't record the whole call — it listens for your word, then hands you just the moment that mattered. No bot. No full-session review. No $100-200/year subscription — DRFT Pro is $9.99/year.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Enter your name.
2. Add custom words — projects, topics, people.
3. Tap Start. Get alerted the moment any of them is spoken.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Free
• Your first and last name, tracked automatically
• 1 custom word, 10 saved moments
• On-device speech recognition — no audio ever leaves your phone

Pro — monthly or annual plan (7-day free trial on the annual plan)
• Unlimited AI summaries
• Up to 5 wake words (your first and last name + 3 custom), 50 saved moments
• Wake Word Profiles — save and switch between sets of wake words
• Cloud sync across iPhone and Mac
• Founders pricing — locked in for as long as you stay subscribed

PRIVACY
DRFT is 100% ad-free — no banners, no ad SDKs, no ad tracking, on any tier. Speech recognition runs on-device using Apple's framework. Audio is never recorded or transmitted. For cloud AI summaries, a short text snippet is sent for processing and immediately discarded — nothing is retained server-side.

NOTIFICATIONS
Optional. Decline them and DRFT still saves every detection to History.

WORKS ON iPHONE AND MAC

iPhone — Place your phone next to another device playing your call, meeting, or lecture on speaker. DRFT listens through the microphone and saves a transcript snippet with every alert.
Mac — Pick any audio source from the menu bar and click Start. DRFT monitors it for wake words — no recording, no meeting notes cloud, no subscription required to get started.

Built by one person.

### 5/5 — Perfect for the busiest

*2026-04-27*

As someone who's always navigating in and out of meetings, between products & platforms, and dealing with life at home....this app solves everything!

With so many distractions it's perfect to be able to have something track certain keywords so that my attention can refocus and I don't miss any important detail. Excited to see new features soon!

### 5/5 — Really Useful App

*2026-04-23*

Honestly, DRFT has been so useful for me already. I’ve used it for meetings and lecture videos so far, and it’s really nice having something that helps catch important keywords without me feeling like I have to be on alert the whole time. The app setup is easy to use and looks nice.

**Developer response:** This is genuinely why I built DRFT. That constant background anxiety of "did I miss something important?" is exhausting and I wanted to fix it. So happy it's already clicking for you in meetings and lectures. Means a lot! 😊

### 5/5 — Super helpful app

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! Really glad it's been useful. If you have any feedback as you use it, I'd love to hear it, I'm always improving detection and adding features.

### 5/5 — Life Saver

*2026-04-19*

I work from home and I’m usually working on things while on meetings. This app helped me respond when something important is being talked about and when someone calls my name. It is also snappy and easy to use.

**Developer response:** This is exactly why DRFT exists, so you can stay in the zone without missing the moments that actually matter. Really glad it's working for you. More good stuff coming. 🙏
