How Driftya works

A clear view of what happens before and after you write a note.

When you write a note

  • You write a short note and choose a mood for the note.
  • You decide if the full note trail is public or private.
  • The system chooses the next person based on activity and language, not targeting.

When one arrives

  • You can reply and pass it along, or simply pass it along.
  • Each reply becomes a hop in the chain, visible to the next people.
  • If you opt in to "Drifted With", you may receive notes from that person again.
  • You can set a daily mood on the arrival screen; while active it nudges routing toward compatible notes.

If you do not reply

Notes have a window. If you do nothing, the note will move on after the window ends. There is no penalty and no obligation to respond.

What "drifting" means

Drifting is a quiet handoff. Notes move along a chain one person at a time, forming a story without a feed or follower counts.

That is it

You don't need to decide anything right now.
