Every new email tool requires another app to download, another dashboard to check, and another place to learn.

Switching context from what you're doing to open your email client costs more mental energy than the email itself.

When you're on the go, opening Gmail on mobile is a maze of threads, promotions, and clutter before you find what you needed.

How Sifta Fixes This

Sifta uses your existing iMessage thread as the interface — no installation required, no new UI to learn, just a message from Sifta telling you what arrived.

Reply with a number to take action: 1 to archive, 2 to mark important, 3 to flag for a draft reply. You control your inbox from the keyboard you're already typing on.

All changes sync back to Gmail instantly so your inbox reflects exactly what you've done from your phone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to install anything? +

No app installation is needed on your phone. Sifta is a service that connects to your Gmail via OAuth and communicates with you through iMessage or SMS. Setup takes about 2 minutes.

What actions can I take from a text reply? +

Archive, mark as important, flag for follow-up, and request a draft reply. More actions are being added based on user feedback.

Is this secure? +

Yes. Sifta uses Gmail's official OAuth 2.0 authentication, which means your credentials are never stored. You can revoke access at any time from your Google Account settings.

What if I want to manage more than just the alerts Sifta sends? +

You can ask Sifta to search your inbox or retrieve specific emails by texting a command. This is in active development for the full launch.
