A friend of mine who was having difficulty sleeping, told me about an app that he started using that was really helping him get a better night's sleep. I checked out Drift for myself and was blown away by the beautiful design and build quality of the app. The sounds are really relaxing and the video makes me want to start travelling again. Can you tell us a bit about the inspiration behind the app and how you created it?

@adhamdannaway thanks for hunting us! I've commented on the inspiration behind the app in the comment below, however for creating the app I used Sketch to mockup and design the interface, and used React Native to build the app itself. It's my first RN project and I think it's super powerful. I've built a few iOS apps before but never really attempted much on Android, so it's awesome to see the app work quite well on it!

What a cool idea! Have you considered adding locations in the Caribbean? I was in Turks & Caicos for my honeymoon and have to say that the sights were incredible. Falling asleep to the sounds of crystal clear waters crashing on the white sand was pretty amazing. Good luck with the App!

@raimundo_campbell1 thanks for sharing Raimundo! Turks and Caicos is definitely on the roadmap - that place is incredible! Can't wait to go there once we can travel again!

Sleep is fundamental. It doesn't matter how you eat, drink or exercise if you haven't got sleep right. This app looks amazing and the sounds are so rich. Did you ever wonder why we find rain and beach and waterfall sounds so soothing? I reckon it's because predators would have a hard time tracking us!

👋 Hi everyone! I decided to create Drift after my B2B travel startup (think a white-labelled TripActions for corporate travel agencies) was completely derailed as a result of COVID-19. Together with with two great Australian travel agencies, we were set to launch our new platform in March this year, when s**t hit the fan and travel stopped completely... The entire industry was (and still is) scrambling to field the mountain of cancellations and refunds, while simultaneously standing down staff and closing offices. The idea for Drift accidentally came from my partner. A few weeks before Australia went into lockdown, she went on a glamping trip as part of her work where she stayed at a place called Paperbark Camp in Jervis Bay, NSW. When I spoke to her the following morning, she said she had the best sleep of her life. The combination of the rain on the tent roof and being in a semi remote part of the world made it the perfect sleep. It got me thinking - since travel is majorly restricted and people are becoming more restless whilst stuck at home, what if I could somehow blend travel and meditation, and help create a more emotionally charged sleep experience? Imagine watching a video of a place you’ve never been to before, and getting to hear what it would sound like to sleep there. It seemed like a cool idea, so I got coding (React Native FTW). I'll let the app do the talking, but here are some of the features inside Drift: ✅ Enjoy a deep sleep in a new part of the world, every night ✅ New locations added every week ✅ Epic drone and macro footage showcase each amazing place ✅ High fidelity soundscapes create the perfect white noise backdrop ✅ Select a shorter play time to meditate to during the day ✅ Exclusive accommodation deals helps save on your next dream holiday ✅ Discover incredible places to add to your bucket list 💰💰💰 I couldn't launch Drift without a sweeeeet deal for my fellow Product Hunters. Simply use the code PRODUCTHUNT in the app to get 50% off the annual subscription for the first year. I love hearing a great travel story, so please leave a comment about your favourite travel experience and I'll add that location to the app! Thank you for stopping by, and I'm looking forward to hearing your stories and feedback 🙌

I love not only the beautiful design of the app, but the imagery and sounds directly serve the intended purpose - extremely soothing and calming. In a time of such uncertainty, stress levels have been higher than ever - using this app on a consistent basis will definitely be beneficial for my health. Thank you for designing such a fantastic app.
