Identifying a sense no health app has touched.
Every health app tracks something external — steps, heart rate, sleep. But nothing tracks the one thing that shapes how every day actually feels: your perception of time. For people with ADHD, time blindness — the inability to accurately feel how time passes — affects over 5% of adults worldwide, yet no existing tool addresses it. Timers assume you'll hear them. Calendars assume you can feel deadlines. Productivity apps assume your internal clock works. For ADHD brains, that assumption is broken. We chose chronoception as our sensory experience: the brain's internal clock that assembles time from dopamine, attention, emotion, and memory. These distortions are bigger and more unpredictable in ADHD minds — and they've never been measured.
A framework of three temporal states — none good or bad.
Drift tracks three states, each mapped to a distinct color: Flow (Indigo) — Time compresses. Hours feel like minutes. For ADHD, this is where hyperfocus lives — powerful, but sometimes a trap. Eight hours of gaming in Flow means missed meals and missed sleep. Neutral (Sage) — Time feels accurate. The clock matches perception. Present and balanced. Drag (Amber) — Time stretches. Minutes feel like hours. But a slow, peaceful morning in Drag is restorative, not a failure. Drift is a mirror, not a scorecard — it shows you your time and trusts you to decide what it means.
