## What is Drift?

Guided breathing you can start in seconds.

Drift is a simple breathing timer with living visuals. Pick a pattern, follow the circle, and let your breath slow down. Use it for stress, for sleep, before deep work, or when you need a lift. No account, no ads, and nothing to scroll through before your first breath.

NINE GUIDED PATTERNS, ALL FREE
- Box breathing (4-4-4-4) for steady focus.
- 4-7-8 breathing, the classic sleep breath.
- Physiological sigh: two breaths in, one long breath out.
- Coherent breathing: five in, five out.
- Equal breath, Deep calm, Triangle, Energy lift and Wind down.

BREATHE YOUR WAY
Choose Calm, Sleep, Focus or Energy and a session from 1 to 10 minutes. A breathing circle paces every inhale, hold and exhale. Sleep mode gently dims the screen and ends quietly. Pause whenever you need; interruptions pause your practice rather than adding time you did not spend breathing.

A LITTLE RESET, EVERY DAY
- A daily reset that changes each day, plus seven ready-to-start rituals.
- Save your favorite rituals and find them on Today.
- Set a weekly practice goal and see the days you showed up.
- Reflect on your recorded moods after sessions. These are your check-ins, not a health score.
- Four complete appearances: Fresh, Bloom, Tide and Night.
- Choose your soundtrack and volume. Toggle music and haptics during a session.

FREE TO START, FREE TO KEEP
All nine built-in patterns, sessions from 1 to 10 minutes, six visual worlds, two starter journeys, daily resets, favorites, weekly progress and your last 12 afterglows are free. Breathing sessions work offline. History and preferences stay on your device; purchases and optional sharing use the services you choose.

OPTIONAL DRIFT PLUS
Custom breathing patterns, Mandala and Fireflies worlds, Sleep Deep and Focus Builder journeys, sessions up to 30 minutes, and an unlimited afterglow gallery. Monthly and yearly subscriptions or a one-time lifetime purchase. Store prices are shown before purchase.

English, Arabic, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese and Japanese.

Drift is a wellbeing tool, not medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Breathe comfortably and stop if you feel unwell.
