About

Driftless Vitals

Features
Read full description

Driftless is a calm, private health co-pilot for busy people. It reads Apple Health, quietly learns your personal baseline, and speaks up only when something meaningfully drifts β€” one gentle, plain-language signal instead of another dashboard to manage. No charts to check every morning. No streaks, no scores, no pressure. Just an occasional heads-up when your body's numbers move away from what's normal for you β€” and silence when all is well. COMPLETELY FREE β€’ No purchases, no subscriptions, no ads. β€’ Every feature is unlocked for everyone. PRIVATE BY DESIGN β€’ No account, no login, no sign-up. β€’ No data collection of any kind β€” not even anonymous usage statistics. β€’ No analytics, no trackers, no third-party SDKs. β€’ No backend and no automatic cloud upload: processing is on-device. Health data only leaves your iPhone if you explicitly export, share, or back up. CALM, NOT ALARMIST β€’ At most one quiet signal a day, rate-limited and debounced so you're never flooded. β€’ Quiet hours and an adjustable frequency cap. β€’ Warm, plain-language wording β€” never a red-alert dashboard. WHAT IT WATCHES Resting heart rate, heart rate variability, sleep, respiratory rate, wrist temperature, and daily activity. Driftless builds a robust personal range for each and tells you, in one sentence, when today drifts from it β€” plus one small suggested action. NOT A DIAGNOSIS Driftless is not a medical device. It never names a disease, never diagnoses, and never gives medical or medication advice. Every message is informational and carries a "not a diagnosis" framing. If you're concerned about your health, talk to a clinician. WORKS WITH YOUR DEVICES β€’ Apple Watch optional β€” metrics like HRV, respiratory rate, and wrist temperature light up if you wear one, and the app gracefully does without if you don't. β€’ Apple Watch app and complications for a glance at your day. β€’ Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets. β€’ Full support for 16 languages: English, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Czech, Turkish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, Ukrainian, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Arabic. Driftless does one thing: it watches quietly, so you don't have to.
