One photo a day

Drift doesn't have professionally edited photos or filtered personas. You can only post one photo a day, recording your life at this moment: the sky outside your window, your lunch on the table, the scenery on your commute. A genuine moment is more moving than a hundred carefully staged photos. Right now, you're

sharing the song you're listening to, your location, or just a random feeling using "Now." It will automatically disappear after an hour—because this moment is meant to be fluid. Five sentences away

See a post you like and say hi. But you won't immediately enter into an endless conversation—you need to exchange five sentences each to unlock a full chat. These five sentences are a ritual to slow down and get to know someone. A dynamic wall that breathes with the time of day

Morning, daytime, evening, night, late night—Drift's dynamic wall is segmented according to the local time of the post. You can simply look at the people who are in the same time as you right now, and experience what this city looks like at different moments. Why drift?

In this era where we're used to swiping left and right, drift wants to do something simple: make encounters slower and more genuine. No comparisons, no performances, just sharing the present moment, and then seeing who resonates with you. Slow down, and you'll meet more authentic people. ## Rankings - #2,419,034 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.CAMERA` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MEDIA_PLAYBACK` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS` - `android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS` - `android.permission.READ_APP_BADGE` - `android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` - `android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES` - `android.permission.READ_MEDIA_VISUAL_USER_SELECTED` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW` - `android.permission.USE_BIOMETRIC` - `android.permission.USE_FINGERPRINT` - `android.permission.VIBRATE` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` - `com.anddoes.launcher.permission.UPDATE_COUNT` - `com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE` - `com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` - `com.howard.drift.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION` - `com.htc.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.htc.launcher.permission.UPDATE_SHORTCUT` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.CHANGE_BADGE` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.huawei.android.launcher.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS` - `com.majeur.launcher.permission.UPDATE_BADGE` - `com.oppo.launcher.permission.READ_SETTINGS` - `com.oppo.launcher.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS` - `com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.READ` - `com.sec.android.provider.badge.permission.WRITE` - `com.sonyericsson.home.permission.BROADCAST_BADGE` - `com.sonymobile.home.permission.PROVIDER_INSERT_BADGE` - `me.everything.badger.permission.BADGE_COUNT_READ` - `me.everything.badger.permission.BADGE_COUNT_WRITE` ## Similar extensions and apps - [Drift Social](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.voyyp.drift) — 1 users - [Drifty – Meet, Match & Connect](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.beso.driftyapp) — 185 users - [WeDrift](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.wedrift.wedrift) — 253 users - [DriftMo](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.driftwithmo.driftmo) — 20 users - [Drop Socials: No More What Ifs](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.dropsocials.Drop) — 1,163 users, 2.83 / 5 - [Ontryst: Share & Connect](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.ontryst) — 1,497 users - [Dripychat](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.dripychat.app) — 13,784 users - [Sync Dating App: Date and Chat](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.syncapp.app) — 351 users - [Floe: Local Singles Dating](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.floe.play) — 583,196 users, 4.52 / 5 - [Lure: dating app](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.joa.lure) — 9,810 users - [Stumble | Meet People](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.getstumbleapp2) — 2 users - [Step Out](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.truevoyage.stepout) — 13 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.howard.drift)
