Sift

SMART FOLDER SUGGESTIONS

Sift reads your actual folder structure and suggests the most relevant destination for each new bookmark. It does not invent a generic category and force you into it. It looks at what you already have, finds the best match using a second-pass re-scoring algorithm, and places your bookmark where you would have put it yourself. When no existing folder fits, it creates a new one automatically and names it intelligently based on the page content. Your bookmark library grows in a way that always makes sense to you.

KEY FEATURES

• Instant AI page summary generated in approximately 2 seconds
• Smart folder suggestions derived from your real folder structure
• Bulk sorting: file an entire folder of bookmarks at once, you approve in bulk
• Auto-create new folders when no existing match is found
• Smart Search: find any bookmark by title, URL, or page content
• Multi-LLM support: the AI provider of your choice with your own key, or the no-key Local Mode
• AES-256-GCM encryption protects your API keys locally
• Full internationalization with native English and French support (every interface string covered)
• Clean, distraction-free Apple-inspired light theme

100% FREE

Sift is completely free and unlimited. No credit card, no account, no paywall. You bring your own AI key (some providers have a free tier) or use Local Mode with no key at all. Because everything stays on your machine and runs through your own key, Sift costs us nothing to run — so it's free, for everyone. If Sift saves you time, the best support is a review on the Chrome Web Store.

PRIVACY-FIRST

Sift was built with privacy as a core requirement, not an afterthought. Every API key you enter is encrypted locally using AES-256-GCM before being stored. Your URLs never pass through our servers: they go directly to the AI provider you choose, with your key (or nowhere at all, in Local Mode). Your bookmarks, summaries, and folder structure never leave your device. No analytics. No telemetry. No email collection. No tracking pixels. No third-party data sharing. Sift respects GDPR: no personal data is collected. Your data belongs to you, stored on your machine, under your control.

BEAUTIFUL INTERFACE

The extension interface is designed with the same principles that make great software feel effortless. Clean lines, generous whitespace, a refined light theme inspired by Apple's design language, and instant visual feedback make every interaction feel intentional and calm. Using Sift should feel like a pleasure, not a chore.

TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE

Sift is built on Chrome's Manifest V3 architecture — the current and future standard for Chrome extensions, ensuring long-term compatibility and enhanced security. The AI pipeline uses structured JSON outputs to reduce hallucinations, temperature calibration for consistent quality, and a second-pass re-scoring step that verifies folder matches before committing. Response caching reduces redundant API calls, making the extension faster and more economical over time. Every technical decision was made to maximize reliability and minimize friction.

INTERNATIONAL

Sift is fully translated into English and French, with every string in the interface natively localized. Language switching is seamless. If you work in a multilingual environment or simply prefer your tools in French, Sift is ready.
