Drift is a journal app for people who want less. 120 characters. A drawing and a photo. That's it. No streaks, no AI, no ads. Everything you write naturally softens over time. Text loses clarity. Drawings dissolve. Photos grow faint. Touch and hold to bring any entry back. Nothing is deleted — just quieter. Anchors is an anonymous shared space. A prompt appears periodically. Strangers respond side by side. No profiles, no followers.
Hi everyone,
I built Drift because every journal app I tried wanted me to do more. I just wanted to write something short and move on.
So I made a journal where entries slowly fade over time. 120 characters, a drawing, a photo. No AI, no ads, no account needed.
Would love to hear what you think.
