Bottle Drift World

Release a message into the ocean — and let real ocean currents carry it around the world. Bottle Drift World is a calm, beautiful message-in-a-bottle app. Your bottle doesn't just appear somewhere random: it drifts day by day on real ocean current data, following the Kuroshio, the Gulf Stream and every eddy in between, until someone, somewhere, picks it up. HOW IT WORKS • Write a short message in any language • Release it from the nearest coast — your exact location is never shared • Watch it drift with the real ocean currents, day after day • Find bottles from people all over the world and pick them up • Get notified when someone finds your bottle — with where it was found, how many days it drifted and how far it travelled FEATURES • Real ocean currents — bottles follow measured surface currents, so a bottle from Tokyo rides the Kuroshio and a bottle in an enclosed sea stays there • Animated currents on the map — see the ocean flowing beneath your bottles (tap to turn on or off) • 30-day drift forecast — see where your bottle is likely to go before you release it • Postmark stamps — every bottle carries a stamp from the country it was sent from, with the date in that country's own language • "Your bottle was found!" notifications • History of every bottle you've sent and found, with the place, date, distance and days at sea • Worldwide map with bottles from every ocean • Available in English, Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Korean and Portuguese • Works on iPhone and iPad SAFE AND RESPECTFUL • No sign-up — just choose a username • Your exact location is never shown; bottles start from the nearest coastline • Messages with offensive words, links, phone numbers or social media IDs are blocked • Report any bottle or block any user with one tap • Reported content is reviewed and removed Every bottle is a small story of the sea. Write one today and see where the ocean takes it.
