How it works

  1. 01

    Pick a mode

    Work, Reset, Chaos, Custom — or build your own with any color and symbol.

  2. 02

    Tap the card

    Driftless picks one tiny action from your list. No decision fatigue.

  3. 03

    Mark it done

    Momentum compounds. Skip a day, nothing breaks. There's nothing to maintain.

What's in the box

Local-first

All your actions and momentum history live on your device. Optional iCloud sync keeps them in your private Apple iCloud — I never see it.

Four modes, infinite custom

Ship-ready Work, Reset, Chaos and Custom modes. Add as many of your own as you want.

Home screen widget

Your next step, one glance away. Small, medium, and Lock Screen rectangular families.

Quiet stats

Today's decisions, today's completions, a 4-week heatmap. No streak shame, no notifications.

No accounts

Nothing to sign up for. Nothing to remember. Open the app and start.

Remove ads, forever

A single, one-time in-app purchase. No subscription. No upsell loops.

The why

Most productivity apps want you to commit, optimise, and not break the streak. Driftless is the opposite. The whole loop is one tiny step at a time — because momentum from small things you actually do beats theatre from a system you can't sustain.
