Raw activity history
The local timeline is the source of truth for reviewing your own day.
Private AI time tracker
Private AI time tracking for Mac.
Use local AI, your own API key, or drifty Cloud. drifty starts from local Mac activity history, then lets you choose how context-aware classification runs.
Privacy starts with where raw activity lives.
A time tracker can become uncomfortable fast if it treats every app, tab, title, and session as cloud data. drifty is designed around a narrower model: capture the workday locally first, then make AI processing choices explicit.
- Keep raw Mac activity history local by default.
- Choose local AI, your own API key, or drifty Cloud for classification.
- Share leaderboard/profile data only when you choose to publish aggregate focus totals.
- Review focus and drift patterns without exposing every window title as a public record.
Private tracking signals worth separating.
The privacy story is clearest when each data surface has a specific job.
AI classification
Classification is for turning activity context into focus and drift, not for storing a full record in the cloud.
Public surfaces
Leaderboards and profiles are optional aggregate views, not public browsing or window histories.

Private time tracker FAQ.
Does drifty upload my raw activity history?
Raw app, site, window, and session history stays local by default. Cloud and AI features are designed around minimized inputs rather than uploading a full desktop recording.
Is drifty a screen recorder?
No. drifty analyzes activity information needed for time review, but it is not a continuous screen recording app.
What gets shared publicly?
Public leaderboard and profile surfaces are optional and use aggregate focus totals, not raw app, site, window, or session history.
Track the workday without over-sharing it.
Start with local Mac activity, then choose which analysis and sharing surfaces make sense for you.
