A quiet life unfolds one entry a day.
Read a fictional persona living somewhere else — and occasionally, choose to interfere.
Read a Life That Writes Itself
Driftlines is a quiet reading experience — a daily piece of prose written from the perspective of a fictional persona living somewhere else.
Each day, a new Chronicle appears.
Always first-person.
Always subtle.
Never explained.
You are not asked to write, reply, or perform.
You simply observe a life unfolding — slowly, imperfectly, over time.
How Driftlines Works
• A persona is created with its own temperament and inner rhythms
• Once per day, you receive a new written entry
• The writing evolves as days pass — style shifts, memories blur, places return or disappear
• Occasionally, you may choose to influence the story — gently, and never immediately
Influence is rare, delayed, and never guaranteed.
The story keeps its dignity.
What Makes Driftlines Different
• Pure prose — no feeds, no chat, no prompts
• No pressure — some days, nothing happens
• No performance — you are not the protagonist
• No streaks or rewards — time passes whether you check or not
• No direct interaction — only quiet observation
Driftlines feels closer to a book that updates itself than an app you “use.”
A Living Text
Over weeks and months:
• the writing becomes more restrained
• familiar details fade or reappear differently
• the persona feels older, quieter, altered
You may not notice the change at first.
Eventually, you will.
Designed to Be Private — Even When Shared
Entries are written to look like prose, not UI.
Screenshots feel personal, anonymous, and literary.
Many users share passages simply because they feel something.
Who Driftlines Is For
• Readers who love introspective prose
• People drawn to quiet, atmospheric experiences
• Anyone tired of apps that demand attention
• Those who enjoy mystery, slowness, and restraint
If you are looking for productivity, social features, or control — this is not that app.
