For the 3am problem

One button. Back to sleep.

DriftBack is the app that exists for one moment only: when you wake in the middle of the night and need to fall back asleep. Fast.

3:17am

You're awake. Your brain won't stop. Every other app wants you to make choices.

Open Calm. Pick a category. Choose a story. Adjust the timer. Set the volume. By now you're fully awake and frustrated. DriftBack does the opposite. One tap launches exactly what you need, tuned to the time of night, with zero decisions required. The screen goes dark. The audio starts. You drift.

Zero-decision UI

One button. No menus, no settings, no choices when you're half-asleep. The app decides what works best for you.

Learns your patterns

Tracks what helps you fall back asleep fastest. Breathing exercises, soundscapes, cognitive shuffles. Adapts over time.

Time-aware content

A 1am wake-up needs different treatment than 4:30am. DriftBack adjusts its approach based on where you are in your sleep cycle.

⌂

True dark mode

Screen goes near-black instantly. All interaction is audio-first. Your eyes never have to fully open.

Apps built for the 3am moment

Sleep apps got it backwards.

They optimize for bedtime. But the hardest moment isn't falling asleep. It's falling back asleep. DriftBack is the first app built entirely for that moment.
