Zone out, guilt-free. DRFT catches your name — or any word — the instant it’s spoken. On-device detection. Audio never leaves your device.
Set a word. Zone out. Get alerted the moment it's said.
DRFT runs in the background and alerts you the instant your name — or any word you choose — is spoken. Speech recognition runs on-device: audio never leaves your phone. Tap the notification, read the AI summary of what was just said, and rejoin the conversation without ever scrubbing audio.
BUILT FOR
• ADHD and focus-sensitive workflows — catch what matters without forcing sustained attention
• Accessibility-friendly notifications — get pinged the moment someone calls your name
• Remote workers — background-monitor Zoom, Teams, and Meet calls for hours without babysitting them
• Students — catch every mention of the exam, the deadline, the thing that matters
THE REAL POWER IS CUSTOM WORDS
Track a project name through a three-hour meeting. Know the second your professor drops the exam date. Catch a client mentioning your competitor. DRFT's on-device speech detection catches your word the instant it's spoken — so you don't have to.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Enter your name.
2. Add custom words — projects, topics, people.
3. Tap Start. Get alerted the moment any of them is spoken.
WHAT'S INCLUDED

PRIVACY
DRFT is 100% ad-free — no banners, no ad SDKs, no ad tracking, on any tier. Speech recognition runs on-device using Apple's framework. Audio is never recorded or transmitted. For cloud AI summaries, a short text snippet is sent for processing and immediately discarded — nothing is retained server-side.
NOTIFICATIONS
Optional. Decline them and DRFT still saves every detection to History.
WORKS ON iPHONE AND MAC
iPhone — Place your phone next to another device playing your call, meeting, or lecture on speaker. DRFT listens through the microphone and saves a transcript snippet with every alert.
Mac — Pick any audio source from the menu bar and click Start. DRFT monitors it for wake words — no recording, no meeting notes cloud, no subscription required to get started.

Really Useful App
laurencl99
Honestly, DRFT has been so useful for me already. I’ve used it for meetings and lecture videos so far, and it’s really nice having something that helps catch important keywords without me feeling like I have to be on alert the whole time. The app setup is easy to use and looks nice.
Developer Response
This is genuinely why I built DRFT. That constant background anxiety of "did I miss something important?" is exhausting and I wanted to fix it. So happy it's already clicking for you in meetings and lectures. Means a lot! 😊
Super helpful app
