Drift teaches the CBT-I techniques clinicians use โ€” a guided sleep-window plan you follow yourself, built from your own morning diary. Trackers measure your sleep. Drift is built around the intervention side: each week it reviews your diary and suggests how your in-bed window could move, using the published sleep-restriction titration rules (AASM clinical practice guideline; Edinger 2021), with a hard 6-hour minimum window and the full reasoning shown for every suggestion. NO FAKE SLEEP SCORE Your real sleep efficiency โ€” time asleep over time in bed โ€” charted against the 85% goal line from the published literature. No proprietary composite number, no grades. A 60-SECOND MORNING DIARY Apple Health pre-fills what it can (sleep stages, HRV, resting heart rate) so you confirm instead of typing. The diary accepts any schedule, including cross-noon and rotating shifts, and "not sure" is always an answer. BUILT FOR REAL SCHEDULES - Standard track for classic insomnia patterns - Shift-work track with a higher safety floor - Perimenopause track that doesn't penalise hot-flash wake-ups - Pain-aware track with gentler pacing READS APPLE HEALTH, NEVER WRITES TO IT Drift is read-only on Apple Health, so it can't alter or corrupt your existing health data. AUDIO NEVER LEAVES YOUR IPHONE On-device snore, cough, and sleep-talk detection stores only event labels โ€” never recordings. Plus audiogram-tuned pink, brown, white, and rain noise. SAFETY-FIRST BY DESIGN A real safety screener: bipolar disorder, seizure history, and untreated sleep apnea switch Drift to diary + education mode, where the window never narrows. Drowsy-driving warnings are built in, and the window never goes below 6 hours. AN HONEST FREE TIER The morning diary, your efficiency trend, stimulus-control education, your first computed window and your first weekly review โ€” free, forever. Drift Pro continues the weekly reviews and adds the coach, sound analysis, pink noise, and sleep stories. Cancel anytime: Restore and Manage Subscription are right inside the app. YOUR DATA IS YOURS Sign in with Apple, or keep a fully private on-device journal. CSV export is free. Delete everything, permanently, from inside the app. Drift is a private journal and educational tool, not a medical device. It teaches published CBT-I techniques but does not diagnose, treat, or cure any condition. If your sleep problems are severe or persistent, please talk to a clinician.

What if your screen time had a price โ€” and the currency was reps? Fitaway flips the script on screen time. Instead of mindlessly burning your day on apps that drain you, you earn every extra minute by actually moving your body. Push-ups, squats, jumps โ€” Fitaway's AI counts every single rep through your front camera, automatically. No tapping. No cheating. Just move. NOW WITH REAL SCREEN TIME TRACKING Connect Fitaway to Screen Time and choose which apps need to be earned. When you use those apps, your minutes decrease in real time. When your free minutes run out, the app locks โ€” until you hit the mat and work for more. It turns your phone's attention economy on its head, making screen time feel like something you actually deserve. REP-COUNTED BY YOUR FRONT CAMERA Point your face at the camera and go. On-device pose detection tracks your movement in real time and auto-counts every rep the moment it's completed โ€” no button taps, no manual logging. And because everything runs locally, your camera frames never leave your phone. Privacy by design, not as an afterthought. STREAKS, XP, AND A GLOBAL LEADERBOARD Consistency compounds. Fitaway tracks your daily workout streak on a clean monthly calendar so you can see your habits build over time. Earn XP with every session, level up, and climb the global leaderboard to see how you stack up against movers worldwide. Progress you can actually feel. MINI-GAMES THAT PAY IN MINUTES Not every workout has to feel like a grind. Fitaway's built-in mini-games let you earn bonus screen-time minutes while you move โ€” keeping motivation high and your streak alive. The Home Screen widget puts your remaining minutes and today's stats one glance away, so you always know exactly where you stand. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE Available in English, Turkish, and Spanish, with full Light and Dark theme support. Premium unlocks longer base time and the ability to block unlimited apps โ€” so you can go all-in on focus, entirely on your terms. Stop negotiating with yourself. Start earning your screen time.
