DriftShark

Stay focused on what you set out to do. Describe your work block in plain language; roughly once a minute DriftShark compares your foreground window title against that goal and nudges you when you drift. No lectures, no leaderboards, no judgment.

How it works

A loop, not a lockdown

DriftShark never blocks anything. It watches one signal — the title of your foreground window — and closes the loop with a gentle corner reminder you can act on or snooze.

state flow
DESCRIBE YOUR GOAL "draft the Q3 report" CHECK · ~ONCE A MINUTE foreground window title vs goal on track stay quiet · next check ▲ drifting CORNER NUDGE refocus · or snooze back to it end of block SUMMARY how the block actually went

Privacy

No DriftShark cloud. Full stop.

Your window titles live in a SQLite file on your own machine. Scoring runs through the Anthropic API with your own key — there is no DriftShark server in the loop and no third-party analytics.

/ SEES

Window titles only

The title of your foreground window, your stated goal — and, only if you opt into the browser extension, the title and URL of the active tab.

/ NEVER CAPTURES

The actual work

No screenshots or screen recording. No page content, no documents, no keystrokes. No telemetry.

/ STORES

Locally, as yours

History sits in a SQLite file on your machine; your Anthropic API key is kept in the Windows credential manager.
