Read full description

You save and bookmark things all day. TikToks you swear you'll try. Screenshots of recipes you'll cook someday. A workout video from three months ago. A meme that made you laugh. A voice memo with a 2am idea. Then you can never find any of it again. The TikTok is buried under four hundred others, the screenshot is lost in your camera roll, the Instagram account goes private, the video gets taken down - and the thing you wanted to keep is just gone. Siftlee is your AI second brain. Save anything you might need later. When you want it back, just ask. And once a month, Siftlee does something no other app does with your saves: it writes you a magazine. THE SIFT - A MAGAZINE, WRITTEN FROM YOUR SAVES On the 1st of each month, Siftlee writes you a magazine about the month you just lived. The recipes you saved come back as real recipe cards. The rabbit holes you fell down become departments. The things you almost bought make the shopping pages, and the ideas worth acting on land in a shortlist at the end. It opens with an editor's letter about your month - because someone finally read all of it. Every issue gets its own color, pictures drawn for it and a puzzle made from your month. Answer The Interview or send a photo to The Assignment, and your reply prints in next month's issue. Your issues live on a bookshelf at the top of Spaces. Pull a spine down and read your own month back. Not a member yet? A free sample issue is waiting on your shelf. WHAT YOU CAN SAVE - Videos & posts: TikToks, Instagram Reels & posts, YouTube videos, X posts, articles, blog posts - anything with a URL - Images: screenshots, photos, anything from your camera roll - Audio: voice memos, podcast clips, recordings - Documents: PDFs, Word files, text files Plus: save straight from TikTok, Instagram, Safari, X, YouTube or any app - just tap Share and pick Siftlee. WHAT SIFTLEE DOES WITH IT Siftlee reads, transcribes and understands what you save - including what's said in the videos. It automatically organizes related items into Spaces (broader categories) and Threads (related items within each space) - no folders, no tags, no manual filing. Then you search your entire library in plain English ("what did I save about Sicily?", "that pasta recipe from TikTok") and get an answer with cited sources, not a list of links to dig through. WHEN THE INTERNET DELETES, YOUR LIBRARY DOESN'T Videos get taken down. Accounts go private. Threads get nuked. What Siftlee captured - the meaning, the transcript, the source - stays in your library. X posts are even saved through the official X API, so when the original disappears, your copy survives. WHY IT'S NOT JUST YOUR FAVORITES FOLDER Your TikTok favorites, your camera roll, your bookmarks - that's where saves go to pile up. You can't search them by what's inside, they don't talk to each other, and they vanish when a video does. Siftlee is one library for all of it, searchable by meaning, every save linked to its source. SIFTLEE PREMIUM Try Siftlee free: save anything - TikToks, Instagram Reels, YouTube videos, links, voice memos, documents - with a starter run of saves and searches on the house.
