## Description

Driftless is a gentle time-awareness app for ADHD brains, hyperfocus, and<br>anyone who loses track of time.<br><br>It does one thing well: it plays a soft sound at a set interval so you feel time<br>passing without checking a clock or setting an alarm. Say &quot;I&#39;ll do this in 30<br>minutes&quot; and, after two soft pings, you just know 30 minutes have gone by. No<br>countdown, no buzzer, no pressure. A quiet nudge to snap out of hyperfocus and<br>notice the hour.<br><br>WHO IT IS FOR<br>- People with ADHD or time blindness who cannot feel time slipping away.<br>- Anyone who hyperfocuses and resurfaces hours later.<br>- Students, remote workers, and makers who want a calm sense of pace.<br>- Anyone who hates alarms but still needs to stay on track.<br><br>HOW IT WORKS<br>- Pick an interval: every 10, 15, or 30 minutes.<br>- Choose your sounds: a main ping, an alternate ping that marks longer stretches,<br>  and an optional hourly marker.<br>- Press start and get back to work. Driftless runs quietly in the background and<br>  pings on time, even with the screen off.<br>- A clean 60-minute clock dial shows exactly where each ping lands in the hour.<br><br>WHY IT IS DIFFERENT<br>- It is not another focus timer or Pomodoro app. No countdown, no deadline, just<br>  an open-ended, ambient sense of time.<br>- The sounds are soft and varied, so the 15-minute mark sounds different from the<br>  30-minute mark. You can tell them apart by ear.<br>- Dark, low-distraction design that stays out of your way.<br><br>FEATURES<br>- Three built-in sound packs: Original, Retro, and Calm.<br>- Use your own ringtone sounds if you prefer.<br>- Alternate and hourly markers so longer intervals are easy to hear.<br>- Optional play-through Do Not Disturb, if you allow it.<br>- Works fully offline.<br><br>PRIVACY<br>Driftless collects nothing. No accounts, no ads, no analytics, no internet<br>access. Your settings stay on your device.<br><br>Great for ADHD, time blindness, time awareness, time management, hyperfocus,<br>executive function, and neurodivergent routines.<br><br>Built and updated by an independent developer. New sounds and features arrive<br>over time.
