About this app

Drift is a modern notification ticker for Android that lets you see incoming notifications without intrusive pop-ups taking over your screen.

Turn notifications into a smooth, ambient scrolling experience that stays out of your way while keeping you informed.

### A better way to see notifications

Drift displays incoming notifications as a customizable ticker overlay, giving you a quick way to notice what arrived without interrupting what you're doing.

Whether you're playing a game, watching a video, reading, or simply using your phone, Drift keeps notifications visible without demanding your attention.

### Notification ticker

Bring back the classic scrolling notification ticker with a modern Android experience.

• Smooth scrolling notification text
• Customizable ticker appearance
• Adjustable animation and motion
• Control where notifications appear
• Choose which apps can appear
• Queue notifications instead of stacking pop-ups
• Lightweight, hardware-accelerated rendering
• Designed for smooth performance

### Replace intrusive heads-up notifications

Prefer a notification ticker instead of traditional floating heads-up notifications?

Drift gives you an alternative way to see incoming alerts without large notification pop-ups covering your screen.

Your notifications still work normally. Drift simply provides a different way to present them.

### Built for a smooth experience

Drift is designed around a lightweight notification pipeline and hardware-accelerated rendering for fluid animations and minimal visual overhead.

Notifications are processed on your device and displayed through Drift's own overlay.

### Your notifications, your way

Customize Drift to fit the way you use your phone.

Choose how notifications appear, how they move, and which apps are allowed to show through the ticker. Keep it subtle or make it more noticeable. Drift stays out of the way until you need it.

### Privacy focused

Drift processes your notifications locally on your device.

Your notification content is not uploaded to Drift's servers or used for advertising.

Drift doesn't replace Android's notification system or notification shade. It gives you a cleaner, more ambient way to see incoming notifications.

Stay informed without the interruption.
