Keywords

Filter calendar events by keyword — match title, notes, or location with built-in or custom rules.

Keywords are search terms attached to a view. Sift matches them against event titles, notes, and locations.

Built-in keywords

Sift ships with 17 built-in keywords across Work, Social, Life Events, and Lifestyle — ready to use, nothing to configure. All are available on the free tier.

Combine keywords with Any (match if any keyword hits) or All (every keyword must match).

Custom keywords (Sift Plus)

With Sift Plus, you can add custom keywords — project names, teammates, venues, or anything that appears in your events. Manage them in View Defaults or while editing a view.

Tips

  • Start broad (“Meeting”, “Work”) then narrow with time or calendar rules on Plus.
  • One view per life area often works better than one giant view with dozens of keywords.
  • Keywords match text; they do not read calendar colour or attendee lists.
