Don't dig through the comments. Sift them. Someone in there usually knows — 800 comments down, inside someone else's replies. Sift reads the comments for you. Share any post to Sift, ask your question, and get the answer as a notification — with the exact comments it came from. • What song is this? (Reads the comments, and checks the audio when they're not sure.) • Where's that jacket from? • What's the recipe? • Is this real or AI? What happened after? HOW IT WORKS 1. Tap Share on a post and pick Sift. 2. Tap a question (or type your own). 3. Keep scrolling. Sift reads the comments and pings you with the answer. HONEST ANSWERS Every answer shows the comments it came from, how many people agree, and what the proof is. Spam and bot comments don't count. If nobody answered, Sift says so — it never makes things up. ANY LANGUAGE Comments can be in any language. Sift answers in your phone's language. WORKS WITH TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Reddit, X, Threads, LinkedIn, Bluesky and Snapchat Spotlight links. PRICING 5 free answers a week, and your first 3 get the full Sift+ treatment. If nobody in the comments knows, it doesn't count. Sift+ keeps digging when the top comments miss it (up to 60 deep reads every 30 days), reads the whole transcript of long YouTube videos, searches the web when the comments go quiet, keeps watching a post until someone answers, and gives you up to 20 answers a day, for $5.99/month or $39.99/year. New subscribers can try it free for 7 days. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when the free trial ends (or when you confirm, if there's no trial) and renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the trial or period. Manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. PRIVACY No account, no name, no email. Delete everything in one tap. Terms: https://sift.wtf/terms · Privacy: https://sift.wtf/privacy
