Know what to study next.
Everything you're learning, in one place. Sift keeps track of what's sticking, what needs work, and helps you decide what to study next.
Studying shouldn’t mean five different apps.
Notes in one place. Flashcards in another. An AI chat you can’t trace back to your material. A revision plan made in week one and never touched again.
Each tool does its job. None of them can tell you what’s been covered, what’s stuck, and what to do tonight.

Sift connects it.
Everything you’re learning, in one system that knows what matters: your material feeds your practice, your practice shows what isn’t sticking, and what isn’t sticking decides what you do next.

Example figure. Your readiness comes from your own activity.
One loop. Every session makes the next one clearer.
Notes become practice. Practice reveals understanding. Understanding builds readiness. Readiness tells you what comes next.

Turn notes into something you can practise.
Write cards yourself, add images, or ask Sift to draft a set from your notes — either way, they stay linked to the lecture they came from. Rate each card Forgot, Hard, Medium or Easy and it moves through Leitner boxes, so the ones you know come back less often and the ones you don’t come back sooner.

For the Haber process, N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) ⇌ 2NH₃(g), ΔH = −92 kJ/mol, which change increases the equilibrium yield of ammonia?
Rereading isn’t studying. Retrieving is.
Turn a lecture or topic into questions and find out what you can actually recall. Write your own, or have Sift generate multiple-choice questions from your notes. Every answer comes with feedback, and every score feeds straight back into that topic’s mastery.

Ask something that already knows what you’re studying.
It isn’t a blank chat box. Sift sits inside each lecture or topic, so you don’t have to re-explain your module, the lecture or what you’ve already tried before it can help.
Or turn it around: explain a concept yourself, out loud or typed, in Explain It. Sift checks what you said against your notes and shows exactly what held up and where your understanding breaks down.
LF315 · Virology & Immunology / Herpesviruses
Why does EBV remain latent in B cells?
What triggers it to leave latency?
What isn’t sticking matters more than what you finished.
Most revision tools count what you’ve completed. Sift gives the hard parts a home. Log the concept that keeps tripping you up, inside the topic where it happens, and mark it resolved once it clicks.

Exam in six days?
Sift already knows what you’ve covered, what you’ve practised and where you’re weak. Panic Mode turns that into a ranked plan for the days and minutes you have left.
Less time means clearer priorities.
Material you haven’t touched rises to the top. Topics you’ve got covered get a light check instead. No red alerts, just an order to work in.
It weighs
- Your mastery in each lecture or topic
- Quiz scores, and how they’re trending

Activity alone doesn’t answer that. Sift turns your mastery, practice and the time you have left into one honest picture of where you stand — for each topic, each module, and your studying overall. Mastery blends your flashcard boxes, quiz scores and resolved Problem Areas, while readiness weighs that against the time you have left once you add an exam date. It’s a guide to where you are, not a prediction of your grade.

The AI stays in the background. You do the learning.
Sift uses AI across the workflow, but it’s there to save you setup time, not to do your thinking. Anything it drafts is a proposal you review. The practice, and the judgement about what you know, stay yours.
