How it works

Two tracks. One quiet mind.

Drift reads how you arrive each night and meets you there.

Track 1 — Wind Down

🧠

Brain Dump

Pour out every worry, task, and random thought. Tag it. Hand it off. Your brain can stop holding on.

Track 1 — Wind Down

🫧

Release

Watch your thoughts float away as glowing bubbles. A visual ritual that tells your nervous system: you're done.

Both Tracks

🌬️

Breathe

Guided 4-4-6-2 box breathing activates your parasympathetic nervous system. Four cycles. Your heart rate follows.

Both Tracks

🌙

Meditate & Sleep

A guided body-scan meditation in your chosen scene — forest, ocean, space, and more — carries you the rest of the way.

✦ Track 2 — Decompression Chamber

For nights when something heavier is going on.

Sometimes you don't need a brain dump — you need to be heard first. The Decompression Chamber is an emotionally adaptive conversation that meets you in the dark, helps you set the weight down, and then gently guides you toward rest.

🌙 "What's keeping you awake tonight?"

💭 You share. Drift listens without judgment.

✦ "You've said enough. Ready to rest?"

🌿 Breathing + Meditation → Sleep

Features

Built for how ADHD brains actually work

🌧️

Decompression Chamber NEW

For heavy nights. An AI-powered emotional offload that meets you where you are, then gently guides you toward rest.

💭

Unlimited Brain Dumps

Tag thoughts as worries, to-dos, or random — your brain can finally hand them off to something else.

📖

Thought History

Everything you write is saved. Review tomorrow. Nothing is lost — so your brain stops trying to remember it all.

🌬️

Guided Breathing

4-4-6-2 box breathing with a visual guide. Backed by science for activating the parasympathetic nervous system.

📊

Sleep Tracking

Log your mood before and after each session. See patterns in what keeps you awake over time.

🔁

Daily Streaks

Build a consistent bedtime routine. ADHD brains thrive on ritual — Drift turns sleep prep into a satisfying habit.

What our users say

★★★★★

"I have ADHD and my brain just wouldn't shut up at night. Drift is the only thing that's ever actually helped. I fall asleep in under 10 minutes now."

Sarah M.

ADHD, diagnosed 2018

★★★★★

"The brain dump feature is genius. My therapist recommended writing things down before bed, but Drift makes it feel like magic — especially when the bubbles float away."

James K.

Software engineer, anxiety

★★★★★

"I used to lie awake for 2 hours going through my to-do list. Now I dump it all into Drift, watch it go, and I'm asleep before the breathing exercise ends."

Maria R.

Mom of 3, chronic overthinker

🌲

Forest at Night

Soft rain, distant owls, the smell of pine

🌊

Ocean Shore

Waves rolling in, warm sand, open sky

🕯️

Cosy Cabin

Fireplace crackling, snowfall outside

🌌

Floating in Space

Weightless, quiet, vast and peaceful

🌸

Summer Meadow

Warm breeze, wildflowers, golden hour

💧

Crystal Cave

Dripping water, cool air, soft glow

✦

Your mind is clear.

Everything you were carrying has been set down. It will all be there tomorrow — but tonight, it's not yours to hold.

Letting go…

🌙

What's keeping you awake tonight?

No wrong answer. Drift will meet you where you are.

🌀

My mind just won't quiet down

Racing thoughts, to-dos, can't switch off — I need a structured wind-down.

🌧️

I'm carrying something heavy tonight

Something happened, or the world feels like too much. I need to talk it through first.

💭

I'm not sure — somewhere in between

Just tell me a little more and we'll figure it out together.

✦ Decompression Chamber

You don't have to carry this alone tonight.
