Every recipe page is an essay, three ads and a video that follows you down the page. And then the screen goes dark every 30 seconds while your hands are covered in something. Sift does three things. It strips a page down to ingredients and steps. It finds the recipe on its own through a Safari extension, so you are on the page and a bar appears rather than opening an app and pasting a link. And it holds the screen awake while you cook. A few things I would call out because they are the parts I actually thought about: Parsing runs four levels down, from structured data to you pasting the text in yourself, and all four land on the same editable card. There is no "this site is not supported" error, because that message is why people delete these apps. It reads durations out of the step text, so "slow cook for 10 hours" becomes a real timer that fires with the app closed. Saved recipes open with no network, which matters if you cook somewhere with bad signal. Free, no account needed to use it, no ads. Happy to answer anything about how the extraction works.
