Music you haven'theard yet.

Sift listens to your taste and finds lesser-known artists you'll love, with a line on why each one fits.

For iPhone. Closed beta on TestFlight.

It starts with what you already play.

Bring a playlist from Apple Music, a public Spotify or YouTube playlist, your Last.fm history, or paste a list of tracks.

Then it actually listens.

Your taste, in styles.

Sift sorts your music into a few styles by how it sounds, and works out how much of your listening each one takes up.

  • hazy dream pop 36%
  • night synthwave 28%
  • nervy post-punk 20%
  • lo-fi beats 16%

An example taste.

Hundreds of candidates.

For each style, Sift finds artists with a similar sound and checks every name against real listening data. Wrong or invented matches are dropped.

Questions

Is Sift on the App Store?

Not yet. It's in a closed beta on TestFlight. Join the waitlist and we'll email you an invite.

Do I need Spotify or Apple Music?

No. Previews play in Sift. To hear a track in full, open it in the service you use.

What does the AI get from me?

Track and artist names, and 30-second previews it listens to. Your data is never sold or used to train AI models.
