iPhone + iPad + Apple TV Ambient motion

Turn a screen into atmosphere.

Driftly is a fullscreen liquid lamp made from cosmic gradients, slow generative motion, and controls quiet enough to disappear.

Designed to be left on

Motion can be present without asking for attention.

Driftly behaves more like a light object than a utility: the visuals fill the room, the chrome fades away, and every transition protects the calm.

Fullscreen by nature

Liquid color, abstract lines, and generative fields take over the display while compact controls stay out of the composition.

Continuous by design

Phase-stable animation and stacked crossfades keep motion coherent through pauses, backgrounding, and mode changes.

Personal without clutter

Favorite modes, arrange the gallery, save named scenes, and optionally let Auto Drift move through a chosen collection.

One saved scene

A mood you can return to

A scene keeps a selected set of modes and the settings that shape them together, ready for a nightstand, iPad dock, or television.

The ambient loop

Choose the feeling. Let the interface leave.

  1. 01
    Choose a mode

    Start with one visual composition.

  2. 02
    Tune the light

    Adjust brightness from the screen edge.

  3. 03

    Cycle through all, favorites, or a scene.

  6. 06
    Settle the room

    Leave the motion running—or set a timer.

Smoothness is the product

Every frame has to hold the illusion.

Driftly drives its Canvas modes from stable timeline phases, prewarms transitions instead of drawing blank frames, and treats tvOS frame pacing as first-class. Reduce Motion is respected throughout, and favorites sync through iCloud key-value storage.
