A NOTE TO OURSELVES

Less friction.
More finding.

THE GOOD PARTS, WITHIN REACH

Find it. Mark it.
Come back to it.

01 / DISCOVER

Follow your ears.

Explore a maintained selection of recordings. Filter by genre, style, release year, market, or curator channel, then make room for a surprise.

02 / REMEMBER

Keep the exact moment.

Save a recording, mark a timestamp, and leave a note. Organize finds with tags and collections so the idea is there when you need it.

03 / KEEP

Take your library with you.

Your finds live in this browser. Export a JSON backup or a readable CSV, and bring your own YouTube links into the mix.

A SESSION IN THREE MOVES

Give your curiosity
somewhere to go.

Start with a loose direction.
Pick a genre, style, or curator channel. Filter by known release metadata, or leave things open and listen for something unexpected.
Stay with the good bit.
Save a recording and mark the timestamp that caught your ear. Add a note or a tag while the idea is fresh. You can bring in a YouTube link you found elsewhere, too.
Build a second listen.
Make a collection, line up your queue, and revisit your finds. Export a library backup before you close out a session you want to keep.

WHAT’S IN THE CRATE

Sift offers a maintained selection, not a search of all YouTube. Metadata coverage varies, and playback depends on the original upload. Your library is local to this browser; audio downloads and sample licenses are not included.
