Context is your team's AI workspace. Start a task, watch the agent work, and keep the whole conversation in one place. What you can do on iPhone: - Start tasks anywhere. Describe the work in the composer and the reply streams back live. - Follow work your team started on the web. Every task, channel, and document in your workspace is here. - Message your team. Channels, DMs, and threads, with attachments from your camera, photos, or files. - Browse your Drive. Folders, documents, and everything your agents produce. - Sign in with Apple, Google, or your email. Context on iPhone is the same workspace you use on the web. Tasks you start here show up for your team instantly, and work started anywhere follows you. A Context account is required. Create one free at workspace.context.ai or in the app.
DRIFT
Read full descriptionHide full description
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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Context at none against DRIFT's 1. Context also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
