The Drift — Quiet Software for Loud Times You deserve rest without the noise. Drift is a tactile sleep tool that lets you mix ambient sounds by touch. Drag glowing orbs to the center of your screen—the closer they are, the louder they play. Let the mix play for 15 or 30 minutes (or all night with Premium). To protect your rest, Drift's gentle fade slowly dims your screen to pure OLED black—silencing your visual space without interrupting your sound session. THE PRICING PROMISE Free to download and use the core features forever. No subscriptions, no ads, no hidden fees. If you love it, a single $4.99 in-app purchase unlocks the premium sounds and extended timers for life. HOW IT WORKS Drag Sound Orbs Choose from 5 free ambient sounds (with 7 more available in Premium). Drag them toward the center. The physics are simple: closer = louder. You can even preview premium sounds in your mix before deciding to upgrade. Set Your Timer Pick 15 or 30 minutes for free—or go Premium for up to 2 hours or Unlimited. As you settle in, the screen gently fades to pure OLED black. This removes the visual noise from your room while your audio session continues to play seamlessly. Sleep (or Focus) Your mix plays smoothly in the background and on your lock screen. Drift remembers your last session, so tomorrow night's rest is just one tap away. CORE FEATURES (FREE FOREVER) • 5 Essential Sounds — Rain, Wind, Fire, Waves, and Thunder. • Tactile Orb Mixing — Drag to center = louder. Physics-based volume control. • Timed Sessions — 15 and 30-minute sleep timers. • Quick Resume — Automatically saves your single most recent mix to jump right back in. • Lock-Screen Playback — Control your mix from Now Playing without unlocking. • Gentle Visual Fade — Slowly dims your screen to black. It silences your screen, not your sound. • Offline-First & Zero Analytics — Works without the internet. No tracking, ever. PREMIUM UNLOCK (ONE-TIME $4.99) No subscriptions. Buy once, unlock everything forever: • 7 Additional Sounds — Night, Fan, Apartment, Restaurant, Train, Voice 1 (High ASMR), and Voice 2 (Low ASMR). • Extended Timers — 60 min, 90 min, 2 hours, and Unlimited (until stopped). • Heartbeat Entrainment — Foundational audio pulses, advanced visual modes (Minimal, Immersive, Leaves), and gradual audio slowdown to gently guide your sleep. • Mix Memories — Instantly access and reload your 3 most recent mixes. • Quick Mute — Double-tap any orb to instantly mute it. PRIVACY Drift collects zero personal data. No analytics. No accounts. No cloud sync. No network requests. Your mixes stay on your device. Apple processes in-app purchases—we never see your payment info. THE DRIFT PROMISE We built Drift for ourselves. We were burned out by cluttered wellness apps, predatory subscriptions, and data-hungry platforms. So we made something quiet. Something private. Something that respects your rest. Drag orbs. Set a timer. Drift. — Ekoche Studios — "Quiet Software for Loud Times"
