Creators already on it
Stuff people use it for.
The chill kind. The kind you'd post.
Snap Map, but interesting
Put your dot somewhere better than your bedroom. The group chat's reaction is the content.
Scout a city before the trip
Drop yourself in Tokyo. Check the weather, what's open, how far the hotel is from everything.
Dating apps where you're moving
See who's around before you sign the lease. Swipe from the couch, in the new city.
A fake commute, at real speed
Drive across town from bed. Watch the dot move, stop at the lights, arrive. Weirdly satisfying.
Keep your real spot to yourself
Sharing location with a group you didn't ask to be in? Park your phone somewhere neutral.
Testing your own app
Building something with location in it? Walk it through a geofence without leaving your desk.
Some apps check whether a location is simulated. Drift doesn't hide from them. It just sets the spot.
One spot, a route, or a whole day.
Three ways to move. All from the map on your Mac.
Location
Pick a spot. Your iPhone's there until you hit Stop, or until a time you set.
Route
Two spots and how you're getting there. Your iPhone walks, bikes or drives it at real speed. Stops at red lights, even.
Plan
Type out a day in one sentence. Drift turns it into drives and stops, shows you the timeline, and runs the whole thing.
Three steps.
The third one is just a button.
Plug your iPhone into your Mac
Tap Trust, flip on Developer Mode once. Drift shows you where it is.
Pick where it should be
Search a spot, or set up a route or a whole day.
Hit Start
Watch the dot move. Stop brings you back.
Your iPhone stays stock.
Drift uses Developer Mode, which is already on every iPhone, and puts everything back when you hit Stop.
No jailbreak
Developer Mode is Apple's own switch. iOS never gets touched.
Nothing installed
No app, no profile, no sketchy files. Everything runs on the Mac.
Fully reversible
Hit Stop. Your real location's back in about three minutes.
Every app buys it.
Drift sets the location the iPhone itself reports. In our test, Maps, Weather, Siri, Life360 and Snapchat all went along with it. Same goes for anything else that reads your location. Whether an app double-checks is up to that app.

Questions.
The ones that come up.
Yeah, a Mac. Drift runs there and moves the iPhone over a cable. Once a spot is holding, you can unplug and it stays.
Nope. Nothing gets installed and no files get touched. Drift uses Developer Mode, a switch that's already in your iPhone's Settings.
Any iPhone on iOS 17.4 or newer, plugged into the Mac, with Developer Mode on. Drift walks you through that the first time. The phone restarts once.
All of them. Drift sets the location the iPhone itself reports, so every app gets offered the same spot. In our test, Maps, Siri, Weather, Life360 and Snapchat all went with it. Whether an app double-checks is on that app.
Hit Stop. Your iPhone is back on its real position in about three minutes. No Mac around? Restart the iPhone.
Give it a minute, then hit Restore purchase on the paywall. Make sure it's the same Google account you paid with. New Mac? Sign in there and restore.
Account pane in Drift, which opens the billing page. Cancelling stops the next charge and you keep what you paid for. Cancel inside the 3 free days and you never get charged.
$3.99 a week, $9.99 a month, or $99 a year, after 3 days free. One licence covers your Mac and every iPhone you own.
Your iPhone stays where Drift put it. Drift leaves a marker on the Mac before it moves anything, so next time it opens it tells you where the phone still is and offers to put it back.
Nowhere. Your spots, plans and settings sit in a folder on the Mac. Map tiles, search and routes come from public OpenStreetMap services, same as any map app.
Not yet. Windows is next. Android isn't planned.
Drift doesn't touch your Apple ID or any app's account. Some apps and games do check for a simulated location and can restrict you for it. That's their call, and Drift doesn't try to hide from it.
