About DRIFT: Tide Focus Timer

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.

What’s new

Version 1.1 · Updated August 24, 2026

A clearer first tide. • New "How it works" intro — what DRIFT does, and what the shield screen means, before your first session. • The app picker now has a Done button. No more guessing how to leave it. • Start now asks you to choose apps first when nothing is blocked yet. • Your first session briefly shows the session controls, so tap-to-peek and hold-to-end are there when you need them.
