Journeys

Every drive, remembered.

Open Journeys and you can pull up where the car was on any day. Track your mileage over time. Look through previous drives, locations visited or just where you left it last week.

Journeys

Route history and mileage in the Drift app. Open the Journeys tab after your next drive.

Alerts

The nudges that matter.

Plenty of alerts to customise:

  • Movement

    Ping when the car starts moving while you're not expecting it.

  • Place arrive

    Notified when the car reaches a place you've saved.

  • Place leave

    Notified when the car leaves a place you've saved.

  • Guardian

    Urgent alert if the car moves with the ignition off (more on that below).

  • Speeding

    Optional heads-up when speed goes over a limit you set.

  • Quiet hours

    Mute non-urgent alerts overnight so you're not woken for nothing.

Drift Alerts empty state: You're all caught up

Year Wrapped

Your year behind the wheel.

Once a year Drift sums up your miles, trips, and habits, then puts you on a leaderboard with friends.

Think Spotify Wrapped, but for your car.

See how far you drove, how many runs you logged, and where you sat against mates.

Guardian

Protection while it's parked.

Arm Guardian with a tap. If the car moves without the ignition on (for example, being towed), Drift sends you an urgent alert so you hear about it sooner.

Customise alerts regarding speeding, when a car moves between a certain time or just when a car arrives to a specific location.

Places

Draw a fence around home.

Save places you care about (home, work, the garage) and set a geofence on the map. If the car leaves an area you've drawn, you get notified.

FAQ

Questions, answered straight

The Drift app guides you step by step: account, plug-in location, connect, add your car, choose alerts. Most people finish in about ten minutes. Hide the unit somewhere sensible and out of casual sight.
Drift plugs into the OBD port. The in-app setup shows where to connect it and when the tracker is found. It draws power from that vehicle connection, so there's no separate daily charge routine like a phone. If your car's socket layout is unusual, pause and ask a trusted fitter rather than forcing a fit.
Yes. Monthly membership can be cancelled anytime. Annual plans, when offered, follow the terms shown at checkout. Hardware is a one-off purchase.
Your location is encrypted and stored directly to your account. Only you and people you choose to share with can see it. Read the Privacy Policy. Privacy questions: [email protected]
