Get an Email Summary to Text Message — Your Inbox Delivered to Your Phone

An email summary to text message is the simplest way to stay on top of your inbox without opening it. Sifta reads your Gmail, generates a clear 2-3 sentence summary for every important email, and delivers it as a text message to your iPhone. You get the information you need in under 10 seconds — without touching your email client.

Sound Familiar?

Reading full emails on your phone is slow — scrolling through long threads, loading images, navigating to the relevant part takes far longer than it should.

Email summaries you get from other tools are shallow — subject-line rehashes that don't actually tell you what the email is about.

Text message email alerts that trigger for every email are useless noise. You need alerts only for the emails that matter.

How Sifta Fixes This

✓

Sifta generates summaries that capture the essential content: who it's from, what they need, and what action (if any) is required — in plain language, not corporate jargon.

✓

Summaries are delivered via iMessage, which means they integrate with your existing notifications, Do Not Disturb schedule, and device preferences.

✓

Only important emails get a summary — everything else is handled silently. So every text message email alert from Sifta is worth reading.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long are the summaries? +

Typically 2-4 sentences covering the sender, the core message, and any action required. Long enough to be useful, short enough to read in a few seconds.

What if the email requires more context than a summary can capture? +

The summary includes a note if the full email contains important attachments or nuanced context. The original email is always available in your Gmail inbox.

Can I reply to an email directly from the text summary? +

You can signal Sifta to draft a reply, which will be a feature in the full launch. Currently you can take quick actions (archive, flag) from the text reply.

Does Sifta work with Android or just iPhone? +

Sifta uses iMessage for iPhone users and standard SMS for Android users. The core alert and summary functionality works on both.
