Find answers to the most common questions about our smart desktop exercise reminder app
Drifto is an intelligent desktop application designed to combat the negative effects of prolonged sitting during your workday. It sends smart notifications for micro-workouts - quick, effective exercises that you can do right at your desk in just 2-5 minutes. These "workout snacks" are scientifically designed to improve your fitness, reduce stress, and boost productivity without disrupting your workflow.
Drifto uses intelligent algorithms to determine the optimal times to send you workout reminders based on your work patterns and break schedules. The app learns from your behavior and adapts its notification timing to ensure you get the most benefit from your exercise breaks. You can also customize the frequency, duration, and types of exercises to match your fitness level and preferences.
Drifto currently supports Discord, Telegram, and WhatsApp for receiving workout reminders and progress updates. We're also working on Slack and Microsoft Teams integrations. These integrations allow you to receive notifications through your preferred communication channels, making it easier to stay on track with your fitness goals even when you're away from your desktop.
Regular use of Drifto provides numerous health benefits: improved posture and reduced back pain from sitting, increased energy levels and mental clarity, better circulation, reduced stress and anxiety, and enhanced overall fitness. The micro-workouts are designed to target common issues faced by desk workers, including neck tension, wrist strain, and muscle stiffness. Consistent use can lead to significant improvements in your physical and mental well-being.
Getting started with Drifto is simple and free! Download the app for your desktop (Windows, macOS, or Linux), install it, and create your account. The app will guide you through a quick setup process where you can customize your preferences, set your active hours, and choose your preferred notification channels. Once set up, Drifto will automatically begin sending you smart workout reminders tailored to your schedule.
Drifto offers extensive customization options: you can adjust notification frequency (from every 30 minutes to every 4 hours), choose from different exercise categories (stretching, strength, cardio, mindfulness), set workout duration (2-10 minutes), and select difficulty levels. You can also configure your active hours, pause notifications during meetings, set up integration preferences, and track your progress with detailed analytics and streak counters.
Your privacy is our top priority. Drifto only collects minimal data necessary to provide the service - your workout preferences, notification settings, and basic usage statistics. All data is encrypted and stored securely. We don't share your personal information with third parties, and you have full control over your data. You can export or delete your data at any time through the app settings.
Drifto is designed to be lightweight and efficient. It runs on Windows 10+, macOS 10.15+, and Linux (Ubuntu 18.04+). The app requires minimal system resources - just 100MB of disk space and 50MB of RAM. It works offline for core functionality and only requires an internet connection for syncing data across devices and receiving integration notifications. The app runs quietly in the background and won't interfere with your work or other applications.
