Drift 1.1.0 — the biggest update since the first beta.

New

  • Private app-scope tunnel — paste a WireGuard .conf or OpenVPN .ovpn profile in Settings and Drift routes only its own traffic through a private utun interface. No system routes, DNS, or other apps are touched, and internet-bound requests are refused while the tunnel is down instead of leaking.
  • Connection Booster, rebuilt — boosts fetch the exact missing pieces from web seeds, verify each piece's SHA-1 against the torrent metadata, then resume the torrent. Boostable rows get a badge, and running boosts are managed from the Downloads window.
  • Server Search is a full pane — browse and install qBittorrent search plugins, inspect a plugin's metadata, see missing-plugin and empty-result states, and manage plugins from Settings.
  • App-wide lifetime stats — client-side transfer totals recorded independently of the connected server.

Improved

  • Details dock — an expanded dock shows live piece progress in its status bar plus quick Boost / Remove / Delete Files / Finder actions. Clicking detail tabs no longer collapses it.
  • Statistics pane — full-window live speed graph, bar comparisons, server statistics, and lifetime totals.
  • RSS pane — redesigned, with a sidebar Feeds entry and a Settings toggle.
  • Sidebar — server search sits in its own padded row; Tools moves above Plugins.
  • Torrent rows — left-click anywhere opens the context menu, including Remove + Delete Files.
  • Menus — the header menu is trimmed to the essentials; RSS, Statistics, and Search live in the sidebar.

Security & reliability

  • Peer-credential checks, pinned dependencies, EdDSA-signed update verification, and launch-time self-verification.
  • Seeded fuzz suites for the bencode and URL parsers.
  • Privacy leak probe and remote-value scrubbing.

Install

  • DMG — open, drag to Applications, launch
  • ZIP — unpack and run Drift.app
  • Right-click → Open the first time (ad-hoc signed build)

Requirements: macOS 26 (Tahoe)+, Apple Silicon, qBittorrent with Web UI enabled (tested on 5.2.x). Falls back gracefully; reports welcome on Issues.
