Projects

Projects let you save your file selections, filters, and output settings so you can re-export with a single click. Perfect for iterative AI workflows where you’re sending the same set of files repeatedly.

Creating a Project

Set up your selections

Browse to a folder and search it, check the files you want, and configure your filters and output settings.

Click Save

In the project bar at the top, click Save. Give your project a name (e.g., “Backend API Files”).

Done

Your project now appears in the project dropdown. All settings are preserved.

What Gets Saved

A project stores everything needed to reproduce your export:

Data source — The folder path (or URL/file source)
File selections — Every checked file and folder
Filters — Extension filters and text search terms
Output settings — Target folder, format (flat/structured/zip), and summary options
Exclude patterns — Folders like node_modules, .git, __pycache__

Switching Projects

Use the dropdown in the project bar to switch between saved projects. QuickSift reloads the tree and restores all your selections automatically.

Updating a Project

Changed your selections? Just click Save again. QuickSift overwrites the existing project with your current settings. If you want to keep both versions, use New to create a separate project.

Deleting a Project

Select the project from the dropdown and click Delete. You’ll be asked to confirm. This removes the saved settings but doesn’t touch any exported files.

Auto-Sync

When you re-open a project, QuickSift can automatically re-scan the source folder to pick up any new or changed files. Your selections are preserved — new files appear unchecked, and deleted files are removed from the selection list.

Cloud Bridge projects: Pro users can connect projects to the Claude App for two-way sync. The project’s file selections determine which files are available to Claude. See Cloud Bridge.

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 2026

At QuickSift.io, we believe that "Privacy by Design" is the best way to build software. QuickSift is available in two tiers, and our privacy commitments apply to both.

Privacy Highlights

Standard — Fully Local: Your files never leave your machine. The only internet connection is license validation.
Pro — Encrypted Cloud Bridge: When you opt in to Cloud Bridge, files are encrypted on your device before transfer. The bridge service never sees your code.
Minimal Data Collection: We only collect what is needed to sell you a license and provide support.

1. Information We Collect

We only collect the minimum information required to sell you a license and provide support:

Customer Data: Your name and email address (provided during checkout).
Transaction Data: Records of your purchase, including the date and amount.
Correspondence: Emails sent to our support address.

2. License Validation

QuickSift requires a periodic internet connection for the sole purpose of License Validation.

What is sent: The app sends your license key and a non-identifiable hardware "fingerprint" to our server.
Purpose: This ensures the software is being used according to your purchase terms and prevents unauthorized distribution.
What is NOT sent: No personal files, metadata, or information about the tasks you are performing in the app are ever transmitted during this check.

3. Cloud Bridge (Pro Tier Only)

QuickSift Pro includes the Cloud Bridge feature, which enables encrypted two-way file transfer between your desktop and Claude. Cloud Bridge is entirely opt-in — you control when to start and end sessions. When Cloud Bridge is not active, QuickSift Pro operates identically to Standard.

How Cloud Bridge works:

On-Device Encryption: All files are encrypted on your machine using per-session Fernet (AES-128-CBC with HMAC) encryption before leaving your device. A unique encryption key is generated for each session.
Direct Transfer: Encrypted files transfer directly between your machine and secure cloud storage (Digital Ocean Spaces) via time-limited presigned URLs. The bridge coordinator service manages sessions and encryption keys only — it never sees, stores, or processes your file contents.
Encrypted at Rest: Files are stored encrypted in temporary, session-scoped cloud storage. Even in the unlikely event of unauthorized access to storage, your files cannot be read without the session encryption key.
Automatic Cleanup: When your session ends, all associated files are automatically deleted from cloud storage. No data persists between sessions.

What the Bridge service can see:

Session metadata (session ID, timestamps, file names and paths)
Your license key and machine identifier (for Pro tier validation)

What the Bridge service cannot see:

The contents of your files (encrypted before leaving your device)
Your code, data, or any information within the files you transfer

4. Payment Processing (Stripe)

All payments are handled securely by Stripe.

QuickSift.io does not store or have access to your credit card number, expiry date, or CVV.
Stripe's use of your personal information is governed by their Privacy Policy.

5. Third-Party Service Providers

We do not sell or rent your data. We use a limited number of service providers to help run the business:

Stripe: For payment processing.
Postmark: To deliver your license key and receipts.
Digital Ocean: For encrypted cloud storage and bridge coordination (Cloud Bridge, Pro tier only). Files are encrypted before reaching Digital Ocean infrastructure.

6. Data Retention and PIPEDA Compliance

In accordance with the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA):

Access & Correction: You may contact us at any time to see what information we have (usually just your email and purchase history) or to request corrections.
Data Security: We use industry-standard encryption to protect the small amount of customer data we do hold. Cloud Bridge files are protected with AES-128-CBC encryption.
Location: While we are based in Canada, our service providers (like Stripe and Digital Ocean) may process data in the United States.
