Driftly is built and maintained by a solo developer. No ads, no subscription, no dark patterns, just a calm app that does one thing well. Your feedback shapes every update.
Every scene lives now. Turn on Follow the real sky and your scene moves through the real day: dawn, golden hour, dusk and night arrive when they truly do. The sun rises on one side of your scene, arcs across the day and sets on the other, its light following on the water, and the moon travels the same path through the night, showing tonight's real phase. Your Day and Night sounds follow along, and if you allow it, your real sunrise and sunset are computed from your location, right on your device.
And meet Aurora lake, our first interactive scene: northern lights over quiet water that answer your touch. Tap the lake and rings spread to your rhythm. Rest a finger on the water and it settles into a mirror. Fling a stone and watch it skip. Hold the shore and, when you are ready, let a thought go.
There is more: tap the counting sheep and watch each one hop away, take One quiet minute with a single gong, and your saved mixes now remember their scene and mood. You can ask Siri to play or pause, too. Sleep well.
