About Sift: Recipes Tailored to You
Meet Ember, the part of Sift that thinks about dinner with you. It picks recipes each morning, answers a craving with real dishes, and reworks any recipe. - EMBER PICKS, EVERY MORNING A sealed envelope waits on Home. Tap the seal and six cards rise out, real recipes with real ratings, and every card says why it's there: "Because you cooked chicken five times." Swipe yes and it drops into your yes pile. Swipe no and Ember learns. It never deals the same dish twice. - ASK EMBER WHAT TO COOK Tell Ember a craving in your own words, or what's sitting in the fridge, and it comes back with dishes you can actually make. Talk it through and it narrows the list with you until one dinner is left. Your restrictions always apply. Pro. - OPTIMIZE ANY RECIPE Keto, low carb, paleo, or just lighter. Ember swaps only what the goal requires, tells you what each swap costs, and rewrites the steps to match. Pro. - COMPARE TWO VERSIONS Two recipes for the same dish, side by side, with rust marks wherever the amounts disagree. That's free. Ask what actually differs and Ember reads both and tells you which differences change the dish. The answer is Pro. - MACROS ON EVERY RECIPE When a page publishes nothing, Ember estimates calories, protein, carbs and fat per serving every time. Free. - THE RECIPE COMES TO YOU Turn on the Safari extension once. Whenever a page has a recipe on it, a small bar appears and steps are on a clean card, with a link back to whoever wrote it. No hunting past the life story. - THE SCREEN STAYS ON Cook Mode is big type you can read from across the counter. Tap a step to check it of until you leave. - TIMERS THAT SET THEMSELVES UP "Smoke for 10 hours" becomes a timer you start with one tap. It counts down on the Dynamic Island with the app closed. - ALSO Substitutes for what amount and what changes. Scale from half a batch to 100x. Saved recipes open with no signal. An evening reminder when today's picks are dealt, if you want it on. - EMBER AND YOUR DATA Ember runs on Sift's server and gets its answers from a language model at OpenAI. When a recipe text or the craving you typed leaves your phone, Sift asks once before the first request. Your daily picks are ranked on the phone and nothing is sent for them. - SIFT PRO Ask Ember, Optimize, Compare's written answer and unlimited web search are Sift Pro, or yearly, with three days free the first time you subscribe. Pro needs an account, because Ember runs against it. Sift is free and stays that way. The subscription renews automatically unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings. Terms of Use: https://siftapp.me/legal/terms Privacy Policy: https://siftapp.me/legal/privacy No ads. No account needed to start.
