Your mind wanders. DriftNote follows. DriftNote is a lightweight notebook for people who switch tasks often and lose their thread. Drop a note the moment you step away — what you were doing, how you felt, where you left off. No folders, no formatting, no setup. Notes are grouped into a natural daily activity log, so your day takes shape without you organizing anything. WHY DRIFTNOTE • Built for ADHD-adjacent minds — capture context before it evaporates • Type or speak — voice notes are transcribed on-device, no cloud needed • Mood and emotion tags so you can spot patterns in how you feel • Lightweight tagging (Work, Personal, Health, Travel, Creative, and more) • Brain dump panel for thoughts that don't fit anywhere else • Gentle check-in reminders during your active hours • Light and dark themes that follow your system PRIVACY FIRST Your notes, voice memos, mood entries, and tags stay on your device. There's no account to create, nothing is uploaded to our servers, and nothing is sold. Crash diagnostics and anonymous usage analytics help us improve the app — neither has access to your content. DESIGNED FOR THE WAY YOU THINK DriftNote isn't trying to make you more organized. It's trying to be there in the 30 seconds between leaving one task and starting the next, so you don't lose what mattered. A daily log for the wandering mind.
