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.

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.

About

AM Ready

LEAVE ON TIME. BRING WHAT MATTERS. AM Ready is a visual morning routine planner and departure reminder built around one fixed point: the time you need to leave. Instead of another to-do list, you get a clear sequence of timed checkpoints planned backward from the door. Know when to start, what comes next, what is still unfinished, and when it is time to make the final check. YOUR MORNING, BUILT AROUND LEAVE-BY Choose when you need to leave. Start with Work morning, Work & school, School drop-off, or Custom. AM Ready turns your morning into a visual schedule with real reminder times and a clear finish. TONIGHT, PREPARE FOR THE MORNING YOU ARE ACTUALLY HAVING Most mornings repeat, but tomorrow often has one exception. Use the evening check-in to type or dictate changes such as: • Leave 15 minutes earlier • Skip breakfast tomorrow • Add the gym bag • Remind me about the signed form Review the updated timeline before saving anything. Tomorrow-only changes stay tomorrow-only, so one unusual morning does not rewrite the routine that works the rest of the week. IN THE MORNING, FOLLOW THE NEXT CHECKPOINT AM Ready brings each step to you at the time it matters. Mark it Done, Snooze it, or Skip it from the morning screen or notification actions. See the whole timeline when you want context. Focus on one next step when the complete morning feels like too much. DON'T LEAVE THE IMPORTANT THINGS BEHIND Create checklist steps for the things that belong together: • Keys, wallet, and phone • Laptop, charger, and headphones • Backpack, lunch, and school forms • Water bottle, jacket, and work essentials Check items individually or mark the group done before you leave. ALERTS THAT MATCH THE MOMENT Choose the alert for each step. Use a standard notification for an ordinary prompt or a Time Sensitive notification for an important moment. On supported iPhones, selected steps can ring as system alarms. BUILT FOR REAL, DISTRACTED MORNINGS AM Ready can help when time disappears, transitions break your focus, tomorrow changes often, or too many generic reminders become background noise. It provides calm external structure for busy mornings, including ADHD, time-blindness, and executive-function needs, without streaks or shame. FEATURES • Visual morning schedule built around leave-by • Work morning, Work & school, School drop-off, and Custom templates • Multiple routines for different days • Evening check-in for tomorrow's changes • Tomorrow-only schedule updates • AI-assisted text changes with review before save • Voice-to-text input • Single steps and checklist steps • Done, Snooze, and Skip actions • Per-step notification settings • Time Sensitive alerts • System alarms on supported iPhones • Calendar browsing and one-day overrides • Local-first schedules with optional account backup and sync Set your leave-by time.
