Drifta helps you organize the day, capture a task quickly, and choose a manageable next step. Keep tasks in Daily Tasks, Up Next and Backlog. Set schedules and reminders, build recurring routines, and use a focus timer when it is time to begin. Review completed tasks and progress without losing sight of what comes next. The free version includes up to 10 daily tasks, three voice captures, and focus sessions up to five minutes. Drifta Pro adds unlimited daily tasks and voice capture, longer focus sessions, custom recurrence, Coach conversations, opt-in SMS reminders, and Apple Watch task features. Coach can help you break a task into smaller steps and work with your lists. Before using Coach, choose whether to share conversation and task context with Anthropic through Drifta's server. You can turn sharing off in Settings. Coach usage limits apply. With Drifta Pro, see today's tasks on Apple Watch, complete or snooze tasks from your wrist, and use a daily-task complication. On iOS 26 or later, wake-up alarms use Apple's system alarm support after you grant alarm access. Earlier iOS versions use notification reminders, which can be silenced by Silent mode, Focus or notification settings. SMS reminders require a verified phone number and separate consent. Message and data rates may apply. Voice capture uses Apple's speech recognition. Drifta Pro is an auto-renewable monthly or yearly subscription.
