Get Important Email Alerts Texted to You

Important email alerts texted to your phone mean you never have to check your inbox just to find out nothing needed your attention. Sifta monitors your Gmail or Outlook inbox, classifies every message, and sends you a concise text for the emails that genuinely require a response, nothing more.

Sifta is built for the moments when checking your inbox would cost too much. You are in a customer call, on a stage, on a flight, or two hours into focused work, and a single email lands that genuinely needs you. In a normal inbox, that email is indistinguishable from the 40 newsletters and CC threads that arrived around it, so you either miss it for hours or you check email constantly to make sure you do not. Sifta closes that gap. It reads every message as it lands, decides whether it actually needs you, and only buzzes your phone for the ones that do. Most users get 2 to 5 Sifta texts a day, replacing dozens of inbox visits. There is also a cross-device consistency benefit. iMessage syncs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, so a Sifta alert appears on whichever device you are using at the moment, without requiring a separate email app to be open. The alert is also fully readable from a watch face, which is useful in the meeting and walking contexts where pulling out a phone is socially awkward.
