Project
a personal OS where you dump raw thoughts and it organizes them into projects, tracks momentum, and gives you an AI copilot that actually knows your context
drift os is a workspace for people juggling too many projects and ideas at once. you dont organize anything manually. you just type what happened and drift figures out the rest
capture: open drift and type whatever happened. a rough thought, a status update, a decision, something you learned, even a messy brain dump. no formatting, no folders, no structure. just dump it
organize: drift reads what you wrote and turns it into structured events. it figures out which project something belongs to and what kind of event it is (decision, learning, state change, task) and files it on its own
momentum: when you come back the dashboard shows what moved. what you worked on, where your energy went, which projects are active or stalled, upcoming decisions, patterns across your work. zero manual maintenance
capture: the front door. type or paste raw text and drift extracts structured meaning. while youre typing it quietly checks for similar past thoughts and shows echo hints like 'related to: discussed pricing model for side project'
dashboard: your home base. recent activity, upcoming decisions, a momentum view (are you mostly learning? building? deciding?), behavioral patterns, compressed summaries, and ai nudges
projects: every piece of work lives here. projects have states like learning, exploring, creating, paused, or abandoned. drift tracks how projects transition between states, thats the drift in drift os
notes: long form writing connected to projects. different knowledge types, linked to events, concepts, and ai generated context
anchor: an ai copilot with full access to your dashboard state, project history, life context, and profile memory. ask 'what should i focus on this week' and it answers based on whats actually going on
echoes: semantic search. describe an idea and it shows when and where you touched on something related before. not keyword search, it understands meaning
lineage: trace how any event or thought evolved over time. the chain of related events, where an idea started, how it branched, what decisions came from it. like git history for your thinking
momentum and patterns: analyzes your activity to show what kind of work youre doing, how energy clusters across projects, and behavioral patterns over time. includes an activity heatmap
meaning compression: compresses granular events into higher level summaries so you get a clear narrative of what actually happened in a project over time
life os: an experimental workspace for things outside pure project work, life entities, governed memories, and open loops
protocols: structured programs you can enroll in like a 30 day social media reset or a 12 day life reset. grounded in behavior change techniques with phases, daily check ins, and deep sessions
active: capture thoughts and get structured events, search and get results, chat with anchor, request analysis or compression, enroll in protocols
passive: echo hints while typing, dashboard surfaces upcoming decisions, anchor generates proactive nudges, low confidence extraction flags, automatic momentum and pattern updates, background meaning compression
