How it works

Three seconds of you. The rest is the model.

Sift has exactly one job for you — capture — and does everything else itself. Here's the whole machine, start to finish.

01Capture — however it comes out

Voice

The default. Up to 30 seconds, live waveform, one clear stop. Talk like you'd talk to a person.

Photo

A whiteboard, a receipt, a business card. Snap it or pick from your gallery — Sift reads the image.

Document

A PDF or file. Sift pulls the substance out and files it, so it isn't lost in your downloads folder.

Text

Sometimes you just want to type. The field is always there, quiet, beneath the mic.

02The sift — watch it file itself

The moment you hit Sift it, the gradient sweeps once across the new row while the model decides. One indicator, no spinners, no toasts — the row's own colour is the status.

Task
Tap a thought — Sift files it for you

You never pick the category. Sift reads the thought and files it — that's the whole app.

The lifecycle of one thought
Queued
Captured and saved instantly — even offline. Nothing is lost while it waits.
Classifying
The rim sweeps. The model reads intent, extracts dates, amounts, names.
Filed
Settles into its category colour and glyph. Done — you didn't lift a finger.
Filed · asking
When genuinely ambiguous, Sift files its best guess and asks one plain question — never a keyword-rule fallback.
03Five places a thought can land

Every category is a colour paired with a glyph — never colour alone — so the app reads clearly for everyone, in light or dark.

Tasks

Anything to do, with a checkbox. Dates, times and recurrence pulled out automatically.

Finance

"Spent ₹840 on groceries." Amount and merchant captured, rolled into your day's total.

Notes

Reflections, meeting notes, anything worth keeping. Summarised into a readable preview.

Ideas

The half-formed sparks. Kept separate from your to-dos so they never feel like debt.

People

Who you met, what they said, how to reach them. A quiet memory for the people around you.
