Drifty brings context-aware AI time tracking to macOS

Drifty is an automated, local-first AI time tracker for macOS that analyzes app usage context to separate focused work from distractions. It visualizes daily workflow patterns and offers gentle nudges during sustained drift while keeping user data private.

// ANALYSIS

Contextual AI classification is a major leap forward from traditional brute-force screen-time trackers, but its long-term success will hinge on minimal system footprint and rock-solid privacy guarantees.

• Replaces manual tagging and timers with automated contextual analysis of user activity across macOS applications.

• Prioritizes privacy with local-first data storage and flexible AI options, including local models, custom keys, or cloud processing.

• Employs gentle behavioral nudges during sustained drift rather than rigid site blocking.
