## What is Drift?

It's late, and you meant to be asleep an hour ago. Put on the rain, a box fan or a slow piano, set a timer, and let Drift play you to sleep.

Every sound in Drift has its own scene, drawn live and slow enough to fall asleep to: snow over a line of pines, embers lifting off a fire, moon jellies drifting up through dark water. Watch it, or hide the controls and let it fill the screen.

43 SOUNDS, SEVEN KINDS

Rain, Water, Noise, Nature, Night, Ambient and Instrumental. Thunderstorms and rain on leaves, ocean waves and a stream, a box fan, a deep drone, brown noise and pink noise, crickets and cicadas, a crackling fire, a singing bowl, a cat purring, even the clack of a mechanical keyboard.

INSTRUMENTAL

Eight calm tracks for the end of the day, from Night Piano and Violin Lullaby to Banjo Blues. Every sound in Drift loops without a seam, so there's no pause or jump to wake you.

A TIMER FOR FALLING ASLEEP

Choose 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes, or play until you stop it. The sound fades out over the last half minute, the screen dims while it plays, and it keeps going with your phone locked. Play and pause right from the lock screen.

MIX YOUR OWN

Layer up to four sounds, like rain over crickets with a fan underneath, and set each one's volume. Save the sounds and mixes you reach for and start them in one tap.

A NIGHTLIGHT

Turn your screen into a soft, even light in one of six colors, and dim it down to a faint glow. Your sound keeps playing underneath.

WHAT'S FREE AND WHAT'S PREMIUM

Six sounds are free, with every timer and the mixer: Rainy Night, Ocean Waves, Forest Morning, Singing Bowl, Night Piano and Violin Lullaby.

Premium opens all 43 sounds, the nightlight, and new sounds as they land. Try it free for 7 days with the yearly plan. After that it's 29.99 a year, or 3.99 a month, and you can cancel anytime.

NOTHING TO SET UP

No sign-up and no account. Open Drift, tap a sound, and put the phone down.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 7.2 — 2026-10-22

What's New in Version 7.2

Drift now fits iPhone Duo, open or closed.

Open, the library spreads to three columns, or four when you hold it sideways, and every scene fills the bigger screen. The mixer, the sleep timer, Search, Saved and Settings sit in a centered column.

Closed, every control stays clear of the camera.

Fold or unfold while a sound plays and Drift stays right where you left it.

### 7.1 — 2026-10-22

What's New in Version 7.1

Nine new sounds join Premium, each playing under its own moving scene.

Rain at the Window, with drops racing down the glass, and Passing Rain, falling over a row of rooftops.

Rolling Surf, Quiet Lagoon and Mountain Creek: big waves on an open coast, small waves lapping a lagoon, and a stream running over stones.

Brown Noise, under the view from a window seat on a night flight, and Pink Noise, behind a sheer curtain at an open window.

Night Forest and Lake at Night: one leaf in the night rain, and a water lily on a dark lake.

Send feedback from Settings. It goes straight to the developer, and you can add an email if you'd like a reply.

### 7.0 — 2026-09-28

What's New in Version 7.0

Drift is now a sleep sound app. 34 sounds, from rain and a box fan to ocean waves and a crackling fire, each playing under its own moving scene.

Instrumental, a new collection: eight calm tracks, from Night Piano to Violin Lullaby. Both of those are free.

A sleep timer that fades out at the end, a mixer for up to four sounds, and play and pause from your lock screen.

The nightlight turns your screen into a soft light in one of six colors.

We dropped the baggage and went hyper-focused on what you wanted most from Drift: sleep.

### 6.0 — 2026-09-02

What's New in Version 6.0

The Current: every drift you finish now sinks you deeper. Start in the Sunlight a few meters down and watch the water carry you toward the Twilight, the Midnight, and eventually the Abyss.

A streak that can't break. Miss a day and a Still Water holds your current exactly where you left it. Your depth pauses instead of resetting, and nothing scolds you when you come back.

Small daily asks worth a little more glow: wind down after nine, try a sound you haven't heard, notice how you feel afterward.

Reach a vault every week or so and the water gives something back. Three new wallpapers and two new app icons, earned only by showing up. They can't be bought.

Weekly routes let you flavor the week, with a premium Deep Sleep run of nightly wind-downs.

Cicadas: a new night soundscape, a humid August wall of sound.

### 5.0 — 2026-07-26

What's New v5.0
• Kelp Garden, a new Flow visual: drag through swaying strands that bend around your finger, then drift back.
• Box Fan, a new soundscape: a steady white-noise hum for sleep.
• Small Wins, a new Lift interlude: a reminder that the small things you did today still count.
• Drift Off, a new Sleep interlude: a slow body scan that softens you into sleep.
• Sleep Mode now includes Box Fan and Crackling Fire.
