Why SiftMate?

Every day we are flooded with hundreds of pieces of information. We don't always have the time or means to verify whether what we read is credible. Sometimes a single false report is enough to make a bad decision or pass on misinformation to those close to us.

Accessibility

Verifying information shouldn't require specialist knowledge. It should be simple and available to everyone.

Honesty

We don't pass judgement. We show observations and signals so you can form your own assessment of what you read.

Privacy

We don't collect personal data. We don't know who you are. Our goal is to help you — not to track you.

FAQ

Analysing content…

Preparing initial information

How does SiftMate work?

When you share a link or text, the app analyses the material in two steps: an automatic initial analysis and an optional full verification carried out by AI.

What are SiftMate results?

Observations and signals about the analysed content
An opinion generated by AI based on available information
A starting point for your own assessment
A tool supporting critical thinking

What SiftMate results are not?

A guarantee of the truth or falsity of content
A professional journalistic integrity audit
A ruling from a fact-checking institution
A basis for legal, medical or financial decisions

Artificial intelligence is not infallible

Results may contain errors, inaccuracies or outdated information. AI analyses content based on available data — it cannot access every source in the world and cannot verify every fact. Treat results as one of many opinions that helps you form your own assessment of what you encounter online every day, not as a final and definitive verdict.

Frequently asked questions

SiftMate is a mobile app that helps you assess the credibility of content found online. You share a link or paste text, and the app analyses the material and presents observations about its credibility.

No. SiftMate works without registration, login, or providing any personal data.

No — and that's important. Results are observations and an opinion generated by artificial intelligence. AI is not infallible. Treat results as an aid to assessment, not as a final verdict.

Initial observations are always free. After installing the app, you receive a free pool of full verifications. Once depleted, a full verification of a specific article, post, or text may require a one-time fee. You will see the price before deciding to purchase.

Yes. We don't collect personal data — we don't know your name, email or phone number. Content submitted for analysis is used solely for generating the result.

Currently Polish, English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish. The app automatically adapts to your phone's language settings.
