Things take time vs DRIFT

Good things take time. Real progress is built through small things done consistently — it won’t feel like much, until it does. Things take time is an app for tracking what matters, the small things, and seeing how they compound over time. KEY FEATURES • Track anything From habits and routines to personal metrics, notes, and daily actions — build trackers that fit your life, not the other way around. • See everything side by side Most apps show one tracker at a time, which hides the bigger picture. This one shows them all together so you can see patterns across your month. • Your month at a glance See how small things add up across your month, so you can stay consistent and notice real progress. • Built for ease of use Tracking should feel effortless. Everything is designed to be fast, simple, and intuitive. • Understand your patterns Detailed analytics for every tracker to help you uncover trends and better understand your progress over time. • Privacy first Your data stays on your device or in your iCloud. Nothing is collected, and nothing is tracked. Progress is often invisible in the moment. Things take time was built to make it visible — by showing how small things add up over time.

DRIFT is a focus timer with no countdown — time falls like a tide across your screen, and you read it at a glance. No subscription, ever. Pick 15, 25, 45, or 60 minutes, or set a custom length up to 12 hours. Start a session, put the phone down, and watch the water fall. No digits unless you tap for them — just the level, dropping toward zero. While a session runs, DRIFT blocks the apps, categories, and websites you choose, using Apple's Screen Time. Open one by mistake and you'll meet the shield instead of the app. Every session carries exactly one 3-minute pass, for the one real interruption that can't wait. Use it and the block lifts; it re-locks itself automatically when the three minutes are up — even if you force-quit DRIFT in between. Five tide colors to choose from. Your history — completed sessions, abandoned ones, total time focused — stays on this iPhone in a simple log. No account, no sign-up. DRIFT is free, supported by a single ad shown after a session ends — never during one, never on the shield. A one-time purchase of $1.99 removes ads for good. No subscription, no recurring charge, ever. Built for iPhone.
