Drifta

iPhone task app for ADHD

A task list that knows when not to interrupt.

Give every task its real window. Drifta stays quiet until you can actually do the thing, then tells you once it's time.

Free to start. Pro is optional. No ads, no tracking.

Drifta home screen with Daily Tasks, Up Next, and Backlog. Each daily task shows the time it opens or the time it is due.

One task, one window.

Most reminders fire when you set them, not when you can act. In Drifta a task has an earliest time and a done-by time. Outside that window it leaves you alone.

  • Before noonNothing. The pickup counter is closed, so the task can't help you yet.
  • 12 to 5 PMA nudge when the window opens, then a check-in every 15 minutes until you mark it done or snooze.
  • After 5 PMThe tone gets firmer. If it truly cannot slip, Pro can keep nudging every 5 minutes.
  • 10 PM to 7 AMQuiet hours. Change them to whatever your nights look like.
Drifta Edit Task screen for Pick up the package, with Start nudging at set to 12:00 PM and Done by set to 5:00 PM.

The rest is there when you need it.

These are the actual screens from version 1.7, not mockups.

Drifta Focus Timer set to five minutes, with longer durations marked Pro.
A five-minute startWhen starting is the hard part, run a short focus timer. Pro adds 10 to 60 minute sessions.
Drifta Alarms screen with a 6:30 AM weekday alarm turned on and an 8:15 AM weekend alarm turned off.
Alarms that get throughOn iOS 26 or later, wake-up alarms use Apple's system alarm, so they sound in Silent mode and Focus.
Drifta Your Progress screen showing tasks completed this week, a daily bar chart, and patterns such as strongest day.
Proof you did thingsCompleted tasks, your streak, and the time of day you tend to finish. Sample data shown.

Start free. Keep what helps.

The free version is a working task app, not a demo. Pro removes the limits and adds the parts that cost money to run.

A note from the maker

Why I built this.

I'm Logan. I have ADHD. I have tried every productivity app. Most of them assume you'll open them, plan your day, and stick to that plan. My brain has never done that on purpose.

The two things that actually help me: knowing a task can't be done yet so I'm allowed to ignore it, and being nudged when it's actually time. Every other app forgot one or the other. So I built the one I wanted, kept it warm, kept it quiet at night, and shipped it.

If it helps you, great. If you have notes, send them. support@drifta.app.

Questions people ask.

What if I miss the nudge?

Drifta checks in again every 15 minutes while the task's window is open. After the deadline the tone gets firmer. With Pro, a task you mark as one that cannot slip can keep nudging every 5 minutes until you tap done or snooze.

Will it keep nagging me forever?

No. Quiet hours stop everything between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. by default, and you can change the hours. Mark the task done or snooze it and the nudges stop.

Does it work without internet?

Yes. The task list, timer, time windows, and local nudges work on the phone. Coach, optional server push, subscription checks, and optional SMS reminders need a connection.

What data does Drifta collect?

No analytics, trackers, advertising IDs, or data sales. Your tasks live on your device. Coach only runs after you agree to share the conversation and task context with Anthropic through Drifta's server, and you can turn that off in Settings. Optional server push and SMS send only the delivery data they need. See the privacy policy for details.

Is the free version actually usable?

Yes. Up to 10 daily tasks, Up Next and Backlog lists, time windows, quiet hours, three voice captures, and a five-minute focus timer. Pro removes the limits and adds Coach conversations, custom lists, custom recurrence, longer focus sessions, Apple Watch, and optional SMS reminders.

Does it have alarms?

Yes. On iOS 26 or later, wake-up alarms use Apple's system alarm support once you allow alarm access, so they sound in Silent mode and Focus. On earlier iOS versions Drifta falls back to notification reminders, which Silent mode and Focus can quiet.

Does it have a widget or work with Siri?

Yes. A Today widget shows your tasks on the Home Screen or Lock Screen. With Siri and the Shortcuts app you can add a task, complete or snooze one, ask what to work on next, or start a focus timer.

Why iPhone only?

Because I'm one person and I had to pick. Apple Watch support is part of Pro. Android is on the list. If you want it, vote with an email.

What's the refund policy?

Subscriptions are billed through Apple, so refunds go through Apple too. Email support@drifta.app and I'll help you get one started.
