Basic Logs vs Adrift

Basic Logs makes it quick and easy to track anything of interest to you. From food diaries to habit streaks to budgeting to time spent on activities. Simply create a log, add entries, and get insights with just a few taps. • Text, numbers, currencies, durations, notes, tags, flags. Use one or all of them. No setup required. • Browse entries in a list, visualize them in a calendar, or analyze them with charts and statistics. • Track hours and minutes, or whole days. • Flag entries of significance, tag entries to categorize them. • Add similar entries again with a quick swipe. • Easily search and filter entries and get all information of a particular moment. • Shortcuts! Automatically add an entry whenever you arrive at a location, tap an NFC tag, or complete a task in another app. The possibilities are endless. • Share logs and collaborate with friends and family. • No account creation. All data is stored locally on your device and, optionally, in your iCloud. And this is just the beginning. Basic Logs will only become richer in functionality while remaining simple and easy to use. I hope you’ll get as much joy and use out of this app as I do every single day. Happy logging!

See the minutes before they disappear. Open a distracting app and a timer appears in the Dynamic Island — counting your current session, quietly, while you're still inside it. On iPhones without the island, the timer lives on your Lock Screen, and the full reminder ladder lands on every iPhone. Leave, and the session ends with a calm receipt: how long, how many times today, and the number that matters most — your longest stretch off the phone. Adrift states facts, never verdicts. "You've been on Instagram for 15 minutes" — that's the entire intervention. No shame, no streaks to lose, no red numbers. The timer is the nudge, and it turns out that's enough. You build the tracker yourself. Adrift never asks permission to watch you. Instead, a guided walkthrough helps you build both halves of the tracker in Apple's Shortcuts app — one half watching openings, one watching closings. The tracker is yours, built in the open, deletable any time. Adrift works with Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, X, Facebook, Threads, and Snapchat. Gentle reminders, on your terms. A quiet banner at 5, 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes — landing over the feed itself. Choose the Early Nudges, Steady Bells, or Long Watch ladder, or make your own. Pick the voice: the warm Adrift default, Calm (the plain fact, nothing more), Scripture (KJV/WEB/BSB verses on time and stillness), Quotes (a line worth keeping from writers long gone), Perspective ("About enough time to clean up your kitchen."), or Note to Self — your own words, back at you. Adrift Pro — start with 7 days free, then keep everything with a small yearly subscription or a single one-time purchase: unlimited tracked apps, full history with the daylight metric, every reminder ladder plus custom timing, all the reminder voices, and everything we add next. Private by design. No account. Your sessions never leave your phone. The only thing Adrift sends anywhere is a short list of anonymous counting events, disclosed word-for-word inside the app and at mhs5643.github.io/adrift-site/privacy.html. Doomscrolling is drifting. The timer is what tells you you're adrift. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://mhs5643.github.io/adrift-site/privacy.html
