Every codebase, right where you left it
Each folder becomes a workspace with its own threads, identity, and history. Jump projects without losing your place.
See it swim
Watch Drift work
Ask for a change and Drift reads your code, edits the files, and reruns the tests until they pass. Recorded straight from the app.
Sped up, not staged. Your threads stay on your machine.
Why Drift
Everything close, nothing in the way
Your projects, your providers, your machine.
Install it. Connect. Build.
The complete agent engine ships inside Drift. Connect your provider and start working without installing Node or wiring up a CLI.
Ten messages or ten thousand
Long-running threads stay quick to open and smooth to scroll, with live reasoning and readable, syntax-highlighted tool output.
Take the better branch
Fork from any turn, undo a dead end, steer work mid-run, or send the useful context into a separate sibling thread.
Use the right model for the moment
Switch provider, model, agent, and thinking level per thread as the job changes. Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Copilot, and more are supported.
Approve what actually runs
Review an MCP server's exact definition before enabling it. If that definition changes, Drift stops it until you approve it again.
Your threads stay local
Drift stores its session database on your machine. The engine listens only on localhost with fresh credentials every launch.
Make the workspace yours
Rebind shortcuts, choose from eight themes, bring custom fonts and CSS, and use Drift in any of 18 interface languages.
From agent output to your editor
Open referenced files in your editor, get native notifications when work finishes, and install signed updates in place.
Take Drift home
latest release
Drift is an agent, not a sandbox. It runs with your user account's permissions, so open trusted workspaces and review permission requests.
