## What is SIFT?

SIFT - THE ART OF DIGITAL SUBTRACTION
SIFT is more than just a photo cleaner; it is a precision instrument for your digital memories. Say goodbye to gallery anxiety and reclaim your breathing room.

SUBTRACTION, FOR BREATHING ROOM
Inspired by Braun and industrial minimalism, SIFT encourages you to slow down. Through the art of "curation" rather than impulsive clearing, rediscover the essence of every memory.

KEY FEATURES
• Swipe to Decide: Swipe up to shred the redundant, swipe down to keep the cherished. Finely-tuned haptics make digital sorting feel as satisfying as physical objects.
• Mindful Quota: 50 photos per day for the free version. We advocate for a rhythmic detox, turning decluttering into a light daily ritual rather than a daunting chore.
• Aesthetic Excellence: A matte bone-white chassis paired with an amber dot-matrix display—a tribute to the iconic industrial soul of the 1970s.
• Unlimited Mode: A one-time upgrade to Infinite Capacity removes all daily limits for a truly immersive experience.

PRIVACY FIRST
SIFT is built on a foundation of privacy. All photo processing happens strictly on-device. We never upload, collect, or access your private images.
