Are you dealing with immense work-home pressure? App to manage their cognitive load with ease and recognize patterns. Save both the world.
Hey IH,
Driftlatch is a focus and presence tool for founders and professionals. It helps you stop carrying work pressure into home and home tension back into work. Protects both love and ambition. Free 2 and 4 minute triage maps where pressure is landing for you, attachment style and where to start.
I built this because pressure from work wasn't landing well at home for me. I fell into an anxious-avoidant pattern that cost me a 6 year relationship (not a hook). I needed a way to build my own EQ around what I was missing. Driftlatch came out of that work, with input from practising psychologists.
It's for people trying to bring balance between both worlds and show up well in each. For people who can't afford weekly therapy, it might be a useful place to start.
What I built:
- A 2-minute Pressure Profile that maps where pressure is landing across work, recovery, home, and connection. (driftlatch.com/pressure-profile)
- A 4-minute Pressure EQ assessment with 8 scenarios that read how your emotional reactions hold up under stress across 6 dimensions. (driftlatch.com/pressure-eq)
- 220+ small "supports" across 10 packs, short psychologically informed interventions you can do in 1 to 10 minutes. The app picks one based on your current state, situation, energy and time available, in just a few taps. No setup, no streaks, no goal to achieve.
- A weekly reflection that shows you patterns in your own check-ins so you can notice things over time. Your data stays in your account.
- Moment Review: When something off happens (a reaction, a tense conversation, a missed read), you log it with a few structured prompts so the moment doesn't disappear. Over time, these become the data behind your weekly patterns to self reflect.
- Fix an Issue cards: pick a specific named issue you want to work on (intense work meetings, distance from your partner, whatever it is) and the app gives you targeted interventions for it, not general advice.
The free assessments are at the door. Beyond them is the full product, with annual and monthly access for people who want to keep going. No free tier. Driftlatch is designed as an ongoing support, not a trial app you outgrow and not a magic to solve anything in 1 day. Up to 14 days guaranteed instant refund if you don't like the product.
What I'm asking for:
Take the EQ or the Pressure Profile test and tell me whether the result felt useful.
Critique the assessments. I have friends reviewing them too, but more eyes is better.
Tell me where the product feels overbuilt or underbuilt.
On the privacy stance specifically: no third-party trackers, no ad network integrations, no message reading, no notifications, no engagement gamification. The app does store your check-ins and reflections so you can see your own patterns, but nothing is shared, sold, or used to manipulate you back into the app.
Tech stack for the curious: Next.js on Cloudflare Pages, Supabase for auth and storage, Paddle for payments. Built solo as an engineer, which has been a longer story than I planned.
Hope it reaches those who need it.
Many Thanks.

This is a serious product, but I think the strongest part is not “focus” exactly. It feels more like pressure recovery, emotional regulation, and relationship-aware self-support for people carrying too much between work and home.
That distinction matters because “focus tool” can make Driftlatch sound like another productivity app, while the actual product is deeper and more personal. The privacy stance, no gamification, no trackers, psychologist input, and moment-review loop all point toward something closer to ongoing emotional support.
The name Driftlatch is memorable, but it also feels slightly mechanical for something this human and trust-sensitive. If the product moves more toward wellness, recovery, and guided support, a softer health/wellness name like Lyriso .com would probably fit the direction better than a tool-like brand.
