Description
Drifty is a private AI time tracker that learns how you work. It tracks your day automatically, with no timers or manual entries, and separates focus from distraction based on context. The more you use it, the better it knows you, as your work profile, what you did before and after each activity, and every correction you make shape how it reads your day. Local mode is completely free, your data never leaves your device, and no screenshots or recordings are ever stored.

Could you build this?
Partial Building a standard desktop UI with background window/process tracking is straightforward, but doing accurate, low-overhead, on-device context learning and classification requires non-trivial local ML and OS hook optimization.
What it would actually take: A real implementation requires a native Windows service or Electron/Tauri app utilizing Windows UI Automation and Win32 APIs (SetWinEventHook, GetGUIThreadInfo) to continuously poll active windows and titles. It needs an embedded vector store or lightweight local NLP model (e.g., ONNX runtime with quantized embeddings) to classify context offline without draining battery. The hard part is fine-tuning an adaptive personal activity model that generalizes reliably without leaking sensitive context.
