Your model didn't change.
Your conversation did.

Done. While we were in there I also refactored your auth flow and swapped the ORM…

Conversation moved from CSV exportauth refactor + ORM swap. Your constraint "server-side" was never addressed.

Real-time drift score

A live 0–100 gauge of how far the conversation has wandered from where you started, recalculated on every single turn.

Constraint tracking

Hard rules like "server-side" or "no new deps" stay pinned and get flagged the moment they're broken.

server-side no new deps typed responses

Session drift map

See exactly where the thread started slipping, and jump back.

Private by design

Drift scoring runs locally by default. The optional judge uses your own model provider — nothing ever goes to a Drifterr server.

Loved by builders

People stopped losing the thread.

"It caught my model wandering into an auth refactor I never asked for. One click and we were back on the actual task."

"The drift score is weirdly addictive. I finally notice the slow scope-creep before it eats my afternoon."

"Local-first was the dealbreaker for us. Nothing leaves the machine and it still nails when a thread goes sideways."

Eng Lead

"Re-anchor is the feature I didn't know I needed. It re-states my constraints so I don't have to retype them."

FAQ

Questions, anchored.

It reads your first message to extract the goal and any hard constraints, then lets you edit or pin them explicitly. Nothing is locked. You always control the anchor.

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Cursor and Perplexity today, with more coming. It runs as a lightweight layer over the chat you already use. No workflow change.

By default, no — drift scoring runs locally and nothing leaves your machine. If you turn on the optional judge (for the decision-coherence signal), one short check is sent to your own model provider. Drifterr has no server of its own.

Any meaningful divergence between the current turn and your anchored intent: scope creep, dropped constraints, or the model quietly changing the subject.

Yes. Tune the sensitivity, mute it during deep work, or switch to a silent timeline you review whenever you like.

pointed at the point.

Install Drifterr in 30 seconds. It watches quietly, and only speaks up when you're about to lose the thread.
