Drifty documentation

Drifty is a local-first time tracker for macOS. It quietly turns app, site, and window context into a timeline you can understand and use to return to focused work.

How it works

Section titled “How it works”

Capture

No timers. The frontmost app, window, and site become a day flow you can read at 3, 4, 5, or 6-minute detail.

Classify

Choose Cloud, on-device AI, or your own key. Labels stay on the local timeline, not a public report.

Return

Companion stays in the menu bar, then makes the next move clear when drift is confirmed.

Install

Download the signed Mac app, finish first-run setup, and grant Accessibility.

Timeline

Read the day as focus, neutral, and drift, then stack the same capture into a week.

Privacy

Keep history local, then choose Cloud, on-device AI, or your own key.

Companion

Stay in the menu bar, then return to focus when drift is confirmed.
