## What is Driftly?

Driftly is a calm space to relax, meditate, breathe, and sleep. Mix nature sounds into your own soundscape, follow a guided meditation in a warm voice, drift off to a sleep story, pace your breath, and let a living animated scene drift along with you. No ads, no subscription.

### 5/5 — Beautiful app

*2026-07-02*

The design is beautiful to look at. It’s a cute personalization that I can design my own soundscape versus looking up variable lengths of white noise on YouTube. I had my own shortcut to pause YouTube videos at 30 minutes but now I can just set the timer to 30 on Driftly

**Developer response:** Wow thank you so much for the review and super happy you enjoy it 🙏🏻

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.11.4 — 2026-07-26

Every scene lives now. Turn on Follow the real sky and your scene moves through the real day: dawn, golden hour, dusk and night arrive when they truly do. The sun rises on one side of your scene, arcs across the day and sets on the other, its light following on the water, and the moon travels the same path through the night, showing tonight's real phase. Your Day and Night sounds follow along, and if you allow it, your real sunrise and sunset are computed from your location, right on your device.

And meet Aurora lake, our first interactive scene: northern lights over quiet water that answer your touch. Tap the lake and rings spread to your rhythm. Rest a finger on the water and it settles into a mirror. Fling a stone and watch it skip. Hold the shore and, when you are ready, let a thought go.

There is more: tap the counting sheep and watch each one hop away, take One quiet minute with a single gong, and your saved mixes now remember their scene and mood. You can ask Siri to play or pause, too. Sleep well.

### 1.10.0 — 2026-07-16

Driftly now speaks Spanish, German, French, and Portuguese.

The whole app is translated, and every guided meditation is narrated by a warm native voice in each language. Driftly follows your device language, or pick a narration language in Settings. A new storage manager shows your downloads by language, so you can free up space with one tap.

### 1.9.3 — 2026-07-06

Driftly v1.9.3

A new sound, and a little peace of mind.

Meet Fan, a steady electric-fan hum in the Home collection. A simple, familiar drone for sleep or focus.

Your practice history now backs up to iCloud, so your streak and stats come with you when you set up a new iPhone or reinstall Driftly. 
Nothing to switch on, it just happens quietly.

### 1.9.2 — 2026-07-01

Driftly v1.9.2

A couple of new ways to settle in.

You can now view your scene full screen. Tap the scene and tap the new full screen button, or drag the scene down. Drag back up to return.

Breathwork now has a soft, ocean-like sound that rises and falls with each breath, so you can keep your rhythm with your eyes closed.

### 1.9.0 — 2026-06-28

Driftly v1.9.0

A new Cabin scene has been added.

Apple Health connection is now available through Settings menu.

Your Practice page has been updated with a new Today ring that gently fills as you breathe and meditate toward a daily intention you set, and your activity calendar now glows more brightly the more time you spend.
