Siri, Shortcuts & Spotlight

Sift fits into the Apple system surfaces you already use, on device, with the same privacy model as the app.

Siri

Ask Siri what’s next for any saved view. Example:

“Show Work meetings events in Sift”

Siri opens Sift to that view’s event list. Available on the free tier.

Shortcuts

Sift exposes an App Intent you can use in the Shortcuts app and automations:

Show events in [View]

Replace [View] with any saved view name. The shortcut opens Sift directly to that view’s matches, useful for morning routines or Focus mode automations.

Find it in Shortcuts under Apps → Sift, or search “Sift”.

Spotlight

Sift indexes saved view names and keyword lists in Apple’s CSSearchableIndex so you can jump into a view from system search.

Event contents are never indexed: only view metadata. The index is local to your device and removed when you uninstall Sift.
