Siftly: Take Control of Your Twitter Bookmarks with Local AI Power

Tired of your Twitter/X bookmarks being an unorganized mess? Siftly is the self-hosted solution that turns your chaotic collection into a searchable, categorized knowledge base—running entirely on your machine.

What Makes Siftly Different?

Unlike cloud services that lock away your data, Siftly keeps everything local with SQLite while leveraging AI APIs you control. No subscriptions, no browser extensions, no privacy concerns.

The 4-Stage AI Pipeline

1. Import - Bookmarklet or console script captures all bookmarks from X.com
2. Entity Extraction - Mines hashtags, mentions, URLs, and 100+ tools (free, zero API calls)
3. Vision Analysis - OCR + object detection on every image/GIF/video (30-40 tags per image)
4. Semantic Magic - 25-35 search tags + 1-3 categories per bookmark with confidence scores

Killer Features

🔍 AI-Powered Search Query like: "funny crypto crash memes" or "best React hooks tutorials"—searches text, images, tags, and categories simultaneously.
