Drift

Minimalist journal app that fades over time

Drift launched on April 10, 2026 with 228 votes, #118 of 21,248 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches.

What it does

Drift is a journal app for people who want less. 120 characters. A drawing and a photo. That's it. No streaks, no AI, no ads. Everything you write naturally softens over time. Text loses clarity. Drawings dissolve. Photos grow faint. Touch and hold to bring any entry back. Nothing is deleted — just quieter. Anchors is an anonymous shared space. A prompt appears periodically. Strangers respond side by side. No profiles, no followers.

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
