Your calendar,
without the noise.
Your calendar already holds the schedule. Sift brings the events that matter most into focus and shows you how soon each one is happening.
Built for iPhone and Apple Watch.
Core features, clearly defined.
Everything below is in the app today, from filtering and widgets to sharing and automation. See how Sift works on iPhone and Apple Watch.
Keyword-driven views
Match events by title, notes, or location. Combine keywords with Any or All logic. Sift's 17 built-in keywords get you started; Sift Plus lets you add your own.
Live countdown
Every view card and widget shows minutes, hours, or days until the next match — so urgency is never buried in a busy week.
Widgets on every surface
Home Screen, Lock Screen, and StandBy. Each widget shows the next event from a view with a live countdown. Card or countdown style.
Built for Apple
Ask Siri what's next for any view. Run it from Shortcuts. Find views in Spotlight. Glance on Apple Watch. Sift Plus adds iCloud Sync for your views and settings.
More with every release. See what's new
Three steps to get started.
Save your rules once, and Sift makes what's next easy to spot on the calendars you already use. No manual upkeep, no second calendar to manage.
Save your rules
Keywords, calendars, time of day — whatever defines what you need to see coming. You set it once; Sift remembers and keeps matching.
See only the matches
Every matching event from every calendar, grouped by day. As you add, edit, or delete events, Sift stays current automatically.
Glance without opening
Add a widget and the countdown sits on your screen or wrist. Glance and know how soon the next thing is — without opening the app.
No. Sift reads your existing Apple Calendar and everything synced to it, including iCloud, Google, and Outlook. Your events stay where they are. Sift brings matches from your views into sight and counts them down.
You can, but they're different tools. Hiding a calendar is all-or-nothing. Sift filters across every calendar at once, by keyword, time, or location, so what's next stays visible.
An event view is a saved set of rules for what you want to see coming — by keyword, calendar, time, or location. Sift keeps it current automatically. Use one for therapy, one for weekly meetings, one for a holiday countdown, as many as you need.
Free includes 3 views, all 17 built-in keywords, Home Screen/Lock Screen/StandBy widgets, Siri, and view sharing. Sift Plus adds unlimited views, custom keywords, and advanced narrowing.
Yes. Your events are read on-device using Apple's own calendar system. There are no servers, nothing sent anywhere, and nothing we could see even if we wanted to.
Yes, as long as they're synced to Apple Calendar. iCloud, Google, Outlook, and Exchange all work. If it appears in Apple Calendar, Sift can filter it.
