Overview

Opens a scrollable feed while ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini generate responses. Reclaim your AI wait time.

Drift opens a side window while ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini is generating a response — giving you something to scroll instead of staring at a blinking cursor. When the answer is ready, it snaps you back. No tab juggling. No "wait what was I doing again." This isn't a distraction app. It's a waiting app. You know the loop: you send a prompt, the AI starts thinking, and you open random tabs or fall into reels and forget why you opened the browser. Drift handles that dead time for you. While the AI is generating, it automatically offers you a side window to scroll, watch, or chill. The second the response is ready, it gets out of the way. You set it up once, tweak it to your taste, and forget it exists. It doesn't nag you. It doesn't gamify your attention. It just quietly eats the empty seconds that normally turn into 20 minutes of scrolling. How it works: — Send a message on ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini — After a configurable delay, a floating button appears — Click it to open a customizable side window (Instagram Reels by default, or any URL) — When the AI finishes, the window minimizes and you're back Features: — Adjustable trigger delay (2–30 seconds) — Choose which AI sites activate Drift — Calibrate window size and position to your screen — Set any custom URL as your drift content — Soft focus or full focus mode — Auto-close timer — Keyboard shortcut (Alt+D) — Guided onboarding walkthrough — Export/import settings — Session stats Drift only runs on LLM sites you choose. Everything stays local. It doesn't read your prompts, your responses, or your browsing. No account, no tracking, no paywalls, no ads. It's not trying to keep you hooked — it's trying to give you your brain back. Built for people who live in AI tabs: students, developers, researchers, writers, and anyone who values flow and accepts reality. Waiting happens. Losing time doesn’t have to. If you like Drift, please help spread the word by giving me a 5 star rating, or share it with your friends! Feel free to contact me at fireheartjerry@gmail.com and I will make sure to help.
