What Sift does

Sift reads the ingredients and steps out of a recipe page you point it at, and keeps them in a form you can cook from. It always keeps a link back to the original.

Recipes you save

Recipes belong to whoever wrote them. Saving one here is for your own personal cooking, the same as writing it on a card. Do not republish or sell what you save. Sift does not claim any rights over it either.

Use it sensibly

Do not use Sift to bulk-copy another site, to get around a paywall, or to do anything the source site forbids.

Cooking is on you

Sift shows what a recipe said. It does not check whether that recipe is safe, accurate, or right for your allergies. Cooking temperatures and food safety are your responsibility, and the original source is always one tap away.

Availability

Saved recipes work with no connection. Saving a new one or searching needs the internet and depends on services we do not control.

What it costs

Nothing. Every feature is free: capture, Cook Mode, step timers, ingredient swaps, unit conversion, Compare, search, the Safari extension, and a library with no limit on it.

There is no subscription, no purchase, and nothing to cancel. An account is free too, and what it adds today is signing you back in without a password and keeping your profile with you.

Ending things

You can delete your account from your profile whenever you like. That removes your email, your profile, and anything synced to our servers. Recipes on your device stay unless you ask for them to go too, because they are your work, not part of your account.
