A focus timer that helps you stay on task with Drift Checks. It's not about discipline, it's about catching the drift before it becomes a detour.
You will drift.
We just want you to drift — less.
Driftless is a focus timer that gently checks in while you work. Every few minutes, a chime of your choosing plays. When you hear it, notice where your head's at. Come back if you need to.
That's a Drift Check.
That's it. That's the app.
I built this app because good intentions and willpower couldn’t keep me on track. Nothing helped besides my wife gently tapping me on the shoulder and asking, “is that what you’re intending to work on?” as my design project was devolving into unscrewing light bulbs with a potato.
So I built a timer that taps me on the shoulder and “gently” directs me back on track. If you’re ADHD you know that “gently” part is crucial.
If that sounds familiar, this might help you too.
