FAQ
What dietary goals can Sift help me with?
Sift helps with goals like cutting (lower calorie, high protein), maintaining a balanced diet, or gaining (higher calorie, protein-rich meals). You can also set custom calorie and protein targets for personalized recommendations.
Does Sift support specific diets and restrictions?
Yes, Sift supports vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, keto, and paleo diets. It also accommodates meat preferences and has a strict allergen mode for enhanced safety.
How accurate is the nutrition information provided by Sift?
Sift provides nutrition estimates based on OCR and heuristic models. While it aims for accuracy, estimates may be incomplete or inaccurate. It's always recommended to verify allergen information and nutrition details with restaurant staff, especially if you have severe allergies or medical dietary restrictions.
Does Sift require an account to use?
No, Sift is designed with a privacy-first approach and does not require an account. All menu scanning happens on-device, and menu photos never leave your phone. Your scan history is stored locally only.
Can I use Sift if I don't have a physical menu to scan?
Yes, if you can't find a physical menu, you can search Sift's database of popular chain restaurants. This allows you to get instant ranked recommendations without needing to scan.
What kind of order hacks does Sift offer?
Sift provides actionable suggestions to make dishes healthier, such as asking for sauce on the side, swapping fries for steamed vegetables, adding grilled chicken, or requesting half portions of rice. These hacks are quantified with estimated calorie or protein changes.
Is Sift available on Android devices?
Currently, Sift is only supported on iPhone devices. The app utilizes Apple's Vision framework for on-device scanning.
How often is Sift updated?
