Drift – Stay Focused, One Balloon Ride at a Time Focus like you're floating above it all. Drift reimagines focus as a peaceful journey through the sky. Every focus session begins with a small balloon ready to lift off. As you resist distractions and stay committed to your work, your balloon climbs higher, turning every minute of focus into visible progress. Whether you're studying for exams, working on important projects, reading, or simply trying to reduce screen time, Drift helps you build healthier digital habits in a calm, rewarding way. 1. Turn Focus Into Progress: Starting a session is simple. Choose how long you want to focus, begin your journey, and watch your balloon gently rise as time passes. The longer you stay away from distracting apps, the higher it floats, giving you a relaxing visual reminder that every focused minute matters. 2. Block Distractions Automatically: Drift integrates with Apple's Screen Time API to help you stay on track. During a focus session, selected distracting apps are automatically blocked so you can concentrate on what matters most—without relying on willpower alone. 3. Build Better Habits: Consistency leads to lasting results. Track your focus sessions, monitor your daily progress, and build streaks that motivate you to keep improving. Drift helps you create a sustainable focus routine instead of chasing short bursts of productivity. 4. Relax When You Need It: Focus isn't just about working harder. When you need a break, Drift offers a guided Relax Reset to help you slow down, breathe, and recharge before returning to your tasks with a clear mind. 5. See Your Progress: Your focus history makes it easy to understand your habits over time. Review completed sessions, monitor your consistency, and celebrate the progress you've made day after day. 6. Stay Motivated Throughout the Day: Add the Drift widget to your Home Screen to instantly see today's focus progress without opening the app. Your daily goal is always visible, helping you stay motivated and accountable. Key features • Peaceful balloon-themed focus sessions • Automatic app blocking with Screen Time • Daily focus goals and session tracking • Focus streaks and long-term habit building • Guided Relax Reset sessions • Detailed focus history and insights • Home Screen widget for quick progress updates • Beautiful, calming design that keeps you motivated Drift isn't about doing more—it's about giving your full attention to what truly matters.
