Tuesday, 10 November
The review, the noodles, the canal
Slept badly, mostly thinking about the review with Maya. Had coffee on the balcony anyway. It's properly cold now.
The review is done. She said “yeah, makes sense,” and that was it. I'd been dreading it all week for nothing. Got the good noodles to celebrate.
Walked home along the canal and the light was ridiculous. I should call Dad this weekend. Noting it here so I do.
You talk. Driftwood does the writing. You get the last word.
Hold the lock-screen button, tap your watch, or open the app. Ten seconds or ten minutes. Leave the ums in.
At the time you pick, the day's notes are transcribed, put in order and written as one entry that still sounds like you.
Change anything that's off. The entry is saved to your journal with each recording attached to its paragraph.
Typing a journal is a second job. Talking is something you already do.
Driftwood drops the filler and puts things in order. It doesn't trade your words for tidier ones, so the entry reads like you on a clear-headed day.
So, um, I think I'm actually, like, kind of proud of how today went, you know?

Tap a paragraph to hear the note it came from. Years from now you'll have the sentence and the voice that said it.
Called Dad from the car park. He's finally fixed the gate.
Dad rang about the gate again. Forty minutes.
Search by meaning, not just keywords. Ask when you last called your dad, or what was on your mind in March.

Only you. Notes are transcribed on your phone, and entries are encrypted before they sync, so we can't read them. Nothing you record is used to train models.
No. Driftwood removes filler, fixes the order and adds punctuation. It doesn't add opinions, feelings or events you didn't mention. If you'd rather have a straight transcript, turn on Keep it raw.
Then there's no entry that day, and that's fine. Driftwood has no streaks and sends no guilt notifications. You can turn on one reminder a day if you want it.
