Drifty is an AI time tracker for Mac that shows where your workday actually goes. Automatically track your work with no timers or manual tracking. AI understands the context behind your activity, separates focus from distraction, visualizes your daily workflow, and helps you understand your attention patterns. Need a little help staying focused? Drifty detects sustained distractions and gently nudges you back to work. Runs locally for privacy, with the option to use the cloud when you want.
Hi Product Hunt,
I’m Ari Shin, the maker of Drifty.
A lot of us now spend long hours working alone on a laptop.
But when you work this way, your time gets blurry.
You may feel like you worked all day, then realize a few tabs, videos, or messages kept pulling you out of focus.
I tried existing time trackers to understand this better.
Most of them showed how many hours I spent in each app.
That helped a little, but it missed the real question: was I focused or distracted?
Drifty tracks more than app and website usage. It looks at your role, recent activity context, window titles, and usage patterns, then uses AI to classify whether an activity belongs closer to focus or drift. The same YouTube session can mean different things. For one person, it is research. For another, it is a distraction. Drifty tries to read that context instead of treating every app the same way. Once your activity is classified, Drifty shows when you focus, when you drift, which moments break your flow, and how your day or week actually moves.
You can also choose how the AI runs:
Run it locally
Bring your own API key
Connect through the Drifty Cloud.
I’d love your feedback!!
@ari_shin - super idea, I'm just not sure I want to know where all my time goes 😃. Seriously though, the insights into how much work I do each day are pretty wild and it would really help me see my focus areas and where I need to be more concious of when I drift/shift to less productive stuff. Also love that I can BYOK and not sign up for yet another subscription. Although the Annual pricing seems very reasonable. Best of luck with the launch.
@codeandsea Haha, that’s exactly why we built it 😄 Our goal is to provide awareness, not judgment. I’m really glad the BYOK option resonated with you as well. Thanks so much for the thoughtful comment and support!
