Thoughts vs Sift

You're scrolling Instagram in bed. You find an amazing design resource. You're on the train and someone shares a movie recommendation. You're at work and spot an article you want to read tonight. It's not the right time, but you don't want to lose it. Thoughts lets you save anything from any app using the native share sheet. But here's what makes it different: you set the reminder and category right there, before you even leave the app you're in. One tap, and you're done. No switching apps. No "I'll remember later." No forgotten bookmarks. SHARE SHEET THAT ACTUALLY WORKS Tap share from Safari, Instagram, YouTube, or any app. The link, title, and content are captured automatically. Pick a reminder time and category — all without leaving the app you're in. REMINDERS THAT FIT YOUR LIFE Quick options — 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours, tonight, tomorrow — or set a custom date and time. Get notified exactly when you're ready to act on it. ORGANIZE YOUR WAY Create categories like Movies, Books, Design, Videos — whatever fits your life. Assign them in a single tap when you save. ADD MEMOS & CONTEXT Jot down notes on anything you save — "watch this with Sarah on Sunday" or "use this for the pitch deck." Future you will thank you. SEAMLESS iCLOUD SYNC Save a link on your iPhone, check it later on your Mac. Everything stays in sync across all your Apple devices. No login required in the app. BEAUTIFUL & MINIMAL A clean, calm interface with light, dark themes. No clutter, no sign-ups, no accounts. Just your thoughts, waiting for you. Thoughts is free to use. Stop losing the things you find interesting.

You save a post meaning to come back to it. You never do. Sift is the place those saves go to stay useful. Share a post into Sift and it gets read, categorized and filed on its own — then brought back to you at the moment you'd have forgotten it. SAVE IN TWO TAPS Share a post from your feed straight into Sift with the share sheet. No account, no setup, no typing. Sift pulls in the caption and the thumbnail so the save is recognizable later. SORTED WITHOUT YOU LIFTING A FINGER On-device AI reads each save and puts it in the right category — Food, Fitness & Health, Travel, Design, Technology — and tags it. Older devices fall back to secure cloud processing, and you're told which one is running. Got it wrong? Change the category once; the correction is remembered. SEARCH THE WAY YOU REMEMBER THINGS "that pasta thing", "the cafe in Kadıköy" — search by meaning, not by exact words. It runs on your device, so it works offline and nothing you type leaves your phone. A NUDGE, NOT A NOTIFICATION PILE One end-of-day summary of what you saved. Set a reminder on any single item and Sift brings it back on the day it's useful. YOURS, ON EVERY DEVICE Start anonymously — your saves stay on your phone. Sign in with Apple or Google whenever you want backup and sync across devices. Delete your account and everything goes with it, from inside the app. BUILT PRIVATE Categorization is on-device by default. Nothing you save is ever used for advertising, and there's no tracking of any kind. Product analytics are anonymous and can be switched off in Profile → Privacy. Share any link into Sift — a post, an article, a video. Instagram and X posts get the richest preview, with the caption and cover pulled in automatically.
