Touch the ink. Tilt the world. Driftink turns your fingertips and the tilt of your phone into flowing, hypnotic ink art. Drop a bead of ink and watch it bloom and curl through simulated water. Tilt your phone to roll an inked marble that paints as it goes — and the ink keeps drifting, alive, long after you stop. No accounts. No setup. Just open it and make something beautiful in seconds. THREE WAYS TO PLAY • Touch — tap and drag to pull ink through still water. • Tilt — roll an inked marble with motion; it paints, and the ink drifts. • Flow — touch, tilt, and living currents move the ink together. MADE TO SHARE • Record a short replay and export a 9:16 video for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. • Capture a high-resolution still for a one-of-a-kind wallpaper. • Every piece gets its own name, like "Midnight Drift #4821". CALM, TACTILE, PREMIUM • A real-time fluid simulation, rendered with Metal for buttery motion. • Curated palettes and paper textures — from soft Sumi to glowing Night Glow. • Gentle haptics that make every drop feel real. DRIFTINK PRO Upgrade once to unlock special inks (gold, mineral, night glow, pearl), extra palettes and paper textures, high-resolution exports, more tilt challenges, and expanded local history. Everything happens on your device. Driftink collects no data and needs no internet connection. Touch the ink. Tilt the world.
