Did you actually do
what you said you would?

Drift Focus is a focus app that tracks intention and follow-through, not just time on a timer. Set an intention. Run a session. Be honest about how it went.

Early access at App Store launch. One focus drill every Friday. Unsubscribe in one click.

After every session, three buttons.

Drift's most distinctive moment. No 5-star slider, no shame loop — just an honest answer that compounds into a follow-through score over weeks.

Nailed it

You did the thing you said you would.

Score × 1.0
🔶

Got some done

Partial follow-through. Still counts.

Score × 0.5

Didn't start

Honesty is a feature, not a flaw.

Score × 0.0

Forest tracked time.
2014 called.

You can grow a digital tree by sitting still. You cannot grow a tree by doing the thing you said you'd do — those are different problems.

Drift Focus is built around the question every other focus app forgets to ask: did you actually do what you said you would?

Set an intention out loud or in text. Run a session. If you leave the app, Drift gently asks: "is this aligned with your intention?" When the timer ends, you self-report. The follow-through score is the truth. Over weeks, it gets specific: when you focus best, on what, and what's actually been getting done.

What's actually in the app

iOS 17+. Local-first. No backend, no tracking, no ads. Your intentions never leave your device.

Voice or text intentions

Speak it or type it. "Write the intro paragraph." "Clear the inbox." "Read chapter four."

Progress ring & timer

Customisable session length. Watch the ring fill as you stay with the work.

The "one sec" pause

Leave the app mid-session and Drift gently asks: is this aligned with your intention?
