About

Drift

Features
Read full description

Drift is a random timer for moments when fixed intervals make you watch the clock. Set a floor, target, and ceiling, then let Drift ring at gentle unpredictable times that still average near your target. Use Drift for trainer-bike position changes, standing desk resets, stretch breaks, focus sessions, hydration nudges, meditation bells, or any reminder that should feel helpful instead of rigid. Pick a preset, choose a sound, and start a session with one tap. Your presets, settings, generated sounds, and session summaries stay on your device. Drift is free with banner ads and occasional cooled-down interstitials; a one-time Remove Ads purchase removes all ads permanently. Optional custom sound credits let you generate short AI interval cues from prompts you type. Notifications are optional and only used for your active timer.
