Drift shows you every app making sound and lets you control each one independently. No drivers. No complexity. Just control.
Every application producing audio gets its own slider. Adjust Spotify without touching Discord. Lower Chrome without muting your game.
Music, Gaming, Meeting, Focus — switch your entire audio setup in one click. Each preset remembers per-app volume levels.
Real-time visualization of which apps are producing sound and how loud they are. Spot the rogue tab before it blows out your ears.
Built with WinUI 3 — not Electron. Launches in under 2 seconds, uses minimal memory, and follows Windows 11 design language.
Drift uses the Windows Core Audio API. No virtual audio devices, no kernel drivers, no system modifications. Install and go.
No trial period. No feature gates. No nag screens. The core per-app volume control will always be free.
One click. No setup wizards, no configuration, no restarts.
Every app currently making sound appears with its own volume slider and live peak meter.
Drag sliders, tap a preset, or mute individual apps. Drift remembers your settings.
Drift does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. The application runs entirely on your device with no network requests, no analytics, no telemetry, and no tracking of any kind.
Drift accesses the Windows Core Audio API solely to enumerate and control audio sessions on your local machine. No audio data is recorded, processed, or sent anywhere. Your volume settings are stored locally on your device in a JSON file within your user profile directory.
We do not use cookies, advertising identifiers, or any form of user profiling. Drift has no user accounts and requires no sign-in.
