v0.1 runs on one desk – nothing to download yet
Undrift is a desktop reader for your Markdown vault. Your AI agent turns each project's notes into a page you read in a minute. See where things stand, then pick the work back up – without rereading every note.

Why
A vault grows faster than anyone rereads it. Undrift reads every note and says, in one line on its opening screen, what was left behind – pages their notes have moved past, captures waiting in the inbox, folders no page shows yet.
Each comes with the request that settles it, ready to send to your agent.
How it works
One loop, three windows. You write a note, an agent draws its page, and the page puts you back where you left off.

# Rigging
The forestay shows rust at the
lower swage: replace it before
the boat goes back in.
- Forestay: new wire, same length
- Shackles: two, 8 mm, stainless
- Halyard: check it for chafe
## Before launch
Step the mast with a second pair
of hands. See [[Forestay options]].

One page
A project's note as it is written, and the page an agent drew from it – shown as Undrift shows it.
A fictional notebook, about learning to sail: no one's real project.
What it shows
Each card is a part of the app as it runs today, drawn with sample notes. Try them.

The one project you work on now comes first: its days drawn as they are lived, week by week, and where its code was left – what is not committed, what is not pushed. Point at a day to see its count.

Boat refit · pagedrawn from 3 notes
Your own notes and the agent's research live in separate folders, and every page lists the notes it was drawn from. You always know whose words you are reading.

A page refreshes while the agent rewrites it, and its GitHub issues are read live – so what you read is where the project stands now. Simulate closing one of these sample issues, and watch the page follow.

Questions
Not yet, and nothing is for sale. Undrift runs on one machine today and reads one vault laid out one way; nothing in it is configurable. What people who keep a vault of their own write is what decides where it goes next – tell us about yours, and the feed says when that changes.
One developer, who built it for their own vault. Write to hello@getundrift.com – the message is read by that one person.
No. Undrift reads a folder of plain Markdown files, whatever editor you write them in – Obsidian, VS Code or another.
Your AI agent, following instructions kept in the vault. A page sits beside its notes, and Undrift shows it safely, in the app's own theme.
Any coding agent that can follow instructions kept in the vault – Claude Code, Codex, or another. Undrift calls no model itself; the agent you already use does the writing. The button that reopens a project starts Claude Code today.
No. It reads the vault and changes none of your notes. What changes a note is you, or the agent you ask – Undrift only hands it the request.
They stay on your disk. Undrift reads your vault's files there and runs git to see where each project stands; it has no account, no server and no analytics of its own. Two programs you already run reach out: gh asks GitHub for your account's name and picture and for a page's issues, and your agent sends what it reads to its provider, as in any session you start yourself.
Not today: the code is private.
Linux and Windows, the machines it is built on. It is a desktop app, built with Tauri; it has not been built for macOS.
No – another product shares the name. This Undrift reads a vault of notes, and lives at getundrift.com.
There is nothing to install yet. Follow the build in your feed reader or on the networks – nothing to sign up for.
