September 18, 2026
Everything since the summer, in one update. SETUP GETS OUT OF THE WAY The walkthrough is gone. The welcome, your areas, and you are in. ADD A TASK FROM THE ACTION BUTTON Give the button the Add a task shortcut: press, type the task in the box that appears, and it goes straight to Tasks with the day or time you mentioned. Drift never opens. The Record a drift and Write a drift controls now work from the button too. PLAIN TASKS GO STRAIGHT TO TASKS Say a time or a day, or start with "remind me", and the capture lands in Tasks without a stop in the inbox. The row below the inbox offers it back for fifteen minutes. Anything less certain still waits to be confirmed. TASKS FOLD BY AREA Each area is a section you can close, and Drift remembers which. Long press a heading for "Only this area". ADD TO AN IDEA Open any idea and add the next thought by typing or talking. Your original words stay exactly as captured, and later additions are listed beneath them in order. ONE IDEA, MANY CAPTURES When a new capture in your inbox clearly continues an older one, its card offers to add it there. One tap merges them. The row below the inbox, a shake, or Command Z on the Mac takes it back. KEEP RECORDING Start the next capture while the last one is still being sorted. Each one keeps its own place. CATCH IT ANYWHERE "Hey Siri, catch my drift" from a locked phone. One tap on Apple Watch with the phone left at home, and pending recordings show when they were made and whether they are being turned into words. A home screen widget. No signal needed: a capture waits and sends itself. IT SORTS ITSELF Spoken words come back written down, titled, and pointed at the right area. Swipe through what you caught and a day full of ideas is sorted in a minute. A REAL PLACE TO WRITE Press / to mark shots, voiceover and hooks inside the script, then pull them out as a list. Focus mode, find and replace, Markdown export, and dictation that lands where the caret is. READ IT TO CAMERA A teleprompter that follows your voice, waits when you stop, and carries on when you do. YOUR WEEK Timed work blocked on a calendar, synced with Apple Calendar one way or both. PROJECTS Boards, tasks, dates and sub projects. Drag pictures and notes into place, long press for a compact menu, rate what matters and filter by it. Drift is on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch, in ten languages, with a refreshed icon.
