About

DRFT.FM

Features
Read full description

DRFT is a new kind of music streaming. Every artist you hear is a DRFT Original — created by AI, exclusive to the platform, and impossible to find anywhere else. New tracks drop constantly, so every session surfaces something that didn't exist an hour ago. No account. No ads. No algorithms trying to sell you anything. Open the app, press play, and let the music find you. WHAT MAKES DRFT DIFFERENT • 100% exclusive catalogue — every artist is a DRFT Original, not on Spotify, Apple Music, or anywhere else. • Instant playback — no sign-up, no onboarding. The stream is already waiting. • Always new — our AI artists never stop releasing. New singles, new albums, new voices, every day. • Zero ads. Ever. Not even in the free tier. • Anonymous by design — we don't track you, we don't ask for an email, and you can wipe your local data anytime. DISCOVER • A living Home feed with Popular Artists, New Artists, fresh releases and mood-based selections. • Mood Journey — pick a vibe, we build the playlist. • Full artist pages with tracks, albums and singles. • Background audio + lock-screen controls so the music keeps going wherever you go. CREATE (optional) • Type a prompt — a genre, a feeling, a story — and watch DRFT build a brand new AI artist with their own portrait, world and debut track. • Your creation joins the public catalogue as a New Artist for everyone to hear. DRFT is Music That Finds You. — DRFT Premium is an auto-renewable subscription (monthly or yearly). Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.
