About Sift: Read More, Scroll Less

Sift turns the world's best nonfiction into clear, thread-style reads you can finish in a few minutes, so the time you'd normally spend scrolling actually leaves you with something. Instead of fighting your phone habits, Sift works with them. Open the app like you'd open any feed, and read the key ideas from a great book in the time it takes to scroll past a dozen posts. And when you need a push, Sift can lock your most distracting apps until you've hit your reading goal. WHY READERS LOVE SIFT Read in minutes, not hours. Every book is distilled into a focused, easy-to-read thread you can finish in 5 to 10 minutes. Built like a feed, made for depth. A familiar, scrollable experience that finally points your attention somewhere worthwhile. Read first, scroll later. Turn on Reading Lock to block your most distracting apps until you've hit your daily reading goal. Your willpower, on autopilot. Keep what matters. Highlight and save the lines and ideas you want to remember, neatly organized by book. See real progress. Set a daily reading goal, build a streak, and watch your knowledge add up week after week. Find your next read. Browse by topic, search any title or author, and request the books you want covered. Reminders that respect you. Pick the times you read best and get gentle nudges that build the habit, never guilt. HOW IT WORKS Tell Sift what you're curious about and set a daily goal. Open the app whenever you'd reach for a feed, or let Reading Lock nudge you there by pausing your other apps. Read a thread, save the best parts, and keep your streak going. WHO IT'S FOR Sift is for curious people who want to read more but can never seem to find the time. If you'd rather walk away from your screen a little sharper, this is for you. Whether you love psychology, business, philosophy, productivity, or history, there's always something worth reading. Same habit. A better result. Download Sift and turn your daily scroll into a daily reading habit. — Sift is a membership with a free trial, billed as an auto-renewing subscription.
