Siri, Shortcuts & Spotlight
Siri, Shortcuts, and Spotlight for your Sift calendar views on iPhone.
Sift fits into the Apple system surfaces you already use.
Siri
Ask Siri what’s next for any view — hands-free, on device. Example intents follow the pattern “Show [view name] events in Sift”.
Available on the free tier.
Shortcuts
Use the Shortcuts app to open a specific view or trigger Sift from automations. Built on App Intents — same privacy model as the app (on-device).
Spotlight
Saved view names and keyword lists are indexed in Spotlight so you can jump into a view from system search. Event contents are never indexed.
The index is local and removed when you uninstall Sift.
Apple Watch
The Watch app shows your view list and event detail, synced from iPhone. A Watch widget shows a countdown for the active view.
iCloud Sync (Sift Plus)
With Sift Plus, enable iCloud Sync to keep views and settings aligned across devices signed into the same Apple ID. See Sift Plus for details.
