Try it: turn a page, or mark a photo for later deletion.

DRIFT, NOT SORT.

Not another to-do list.

You don’t have to sort your entire library. Open a folder, drift through a small group, and decide as you go.

01 / Just browse

Give each memory the screen.

Photos, videos, and Live Photos, all in one feed. Shuffle your memories, or sort by date, name, or size.

LIVE

02 / That Day

Pinch out of a photo. Back into a day.

See everything captured on the same day. Select a few, or drag across a burst, and tidy them together.

03 / Tidy gently

Set it aside. Don’t erase it yet.

Swipe left to mark. ⌘Z to bring it back. Review before deleting: files go to Trash, library photos to Recently Deleted.

ALL YOUR CORNERS

A few good questions

Where do my photos get uploaded?+

They don’t get uploaded to us. Browsing and tidying happen locally on your Mac. Apple supplies iCloud content; activation and update checks contact their respective services.

Does deleting affect iCloud?+

Deleting from your Photos library syncs to iCloud and other devices using that library. Local files move to Trash. Changes to iCloud Drive files also sync. Review before confirming.

Can I use Drift offline?+

The trial works offline. Your first license activation needs an internet connection; afterwards you can browse offline. Drift periodically validates your license when online.

How do I move to another Mac?+

Deactivate the old Mac in Drift → License, then activate the new one with the same key. Each license allows two personal Macs at a time.

What about the Mac App Store version?+

The browsing features are shared. The website build has a trial, license keys, and in-app updates. Apple manages purchases and updates for the App Store build, which is not yet listed.
