Sifter is a hyperlocal chat platform that connects people based on where they actually are — not who they follow.
Built for iPhone, Sifter replaces the global feed with real-world presence. Every conversation exists inside a geofenced space tied to a specific location — a concert, campus, coffee shop, event, or neighborhood. When you enter the area, the room appears. When you leave, the conversation disappears.
Sifter is designed for moments traditional social media ignores: the crowd before a show, the energy inside a stadium, the people around you at a conference, or the room full of strangers who suddenly have something in common. Instead of broadcasting to the world, Sifter lets you connect with the people right in front of you.
The platform is built with a focus on authenticity and privacy. All users are verified via SMS to reduce spam and bots. Location is used strictly to determine room access — exact coordinates are never shared, and there is no persistent chat history. No followers, no profiles to curate, and no remote participation.
Powered by 702 AI Services, Sifter introduces a new category of social networking — one where places, not profiles, define the experience.
Sifter is available for free on the Apple App Store.
