A gift for the parent you love — and worry about.

Sift protects your parents from online scams and quietly surfaces context when they browse biased news. No lectures. No red alerts. Just a gentle layer of protection from someone who cares.

How it works

Two shields. One extension. Set up in 2 minutes.

Shield 1 — Scam protection
Detects tech support scams, fake prize pages, IRS impersonators, phishing URLs, gift card payment requests, and 15+ other common patterns targeting older adults.
Shield 2 — Misinformation context
Flags news sources with known bias or low accuracy ratings, and surfaces how AP, Reuters, and PBS are covering the same story — without telling anyone what to think.
01
You install it on their computer
Visit trysift.app on your parent's Chrome browser. Install takes 90 seconds. They don't need to do anything.
02
Sift watches quietly in the background
On any page, Sift first checks for scam signals. If it finds something, a clear warning appears. If the page is safe but biased, a softer context banner shows instead.
03
They stay informed — and protected
Every banner is dismissible in one click. Scam warnings link to the FTC. Bias banners link to alternative sources. Nothing is blocked. No one feels condescended to.
Why this matters

The dinner table argument is a symptom.

Most of us aren't fighting about facts — we're fighting about which reality we're each living in. And those realities are being shaped, one misleading headline at a time, by news sources optimized for outrage rather than accuracy.

Sift doesn't try to change what your parent believes. It just makes sure they've had a chance to see the full picture before forming an opinion.

That's not a political act. That's just love.
