What's New in Sift

1.4.0

September 19, 2026

- Sift has Ember now! - Every morning a sealed envelope waits on your Home tab. Tap the seal and six cards rise out, and every one says why Ember picked it. Swipe yes and it drops into your yes pile. - Ask Ember what to cook: a craving in your words, or what's in the fridge, and it narrows the list with you until one dinner is left. - Optimize any recipe toward keto, low carb, paleo or describe how you would like to rework the recipe to Ember, with honest swaps and what each one costs. - Compare two versions of a dish and ask Ember what actually differs. - Macros on every recipe, estimated when the page publishes none. Free. - Ask Ember, Optimize and Compare's answer are Sift Pro, monthly or yearly, three days free the first time. Everything you already use stays free: capture from Safari, Cook Mode, timers, your library, sync. - Also: the Home card that asks how you eat now lands on the right spot in your profile. The bottom bar stays put on iOS 26. An evening reminder when today's picks are dealt, if you want one.

Recipes

I found this app so helpful. I am not the greatest cook but I donโ€™t mind trying to follow a recipe. With this app I found it so easy to use. It even substituted ingredients that I didnโ€™t have. This will be my go to when cooking.

Amazing app! User Friendly

Wow!! I cook pretty often & I normally google recipes (which takes a ton of extra time) but this app makes the process so seamless. Very user friendly, I highly recommend!

Great App, such a time saver

Can't tell you how many times I've found a recipe I've wanted to cook only to get bogged down with ads or having to read some tangential aside about someone's grandmother. Now I can just get to the recipe. Super easy to use and really a must have for anyone who likes to find new recipes online.

Great place to save all your recipes!

Great app to save all my favorite recipes! I especially enjoyed the feature that goes step by step during the cooking process to ensure I donโ€™t miss anything. Will definitely continue growing my personal recipe catalog!
