Stop browsing.
Start describing.

Traditional sample browsers make you search by filenames only, which omits many important sound qualities. SoundSift lets you search the way you actually think about sound: by texture, mood, character, and vibe.

How it works

A high level overview of our AI pipeline.

Index
An AI audio encoder listens to every sample once. The sound itself, not the filename.
Embed
Each one is turned into a vector: a fingerprint of its texture, tone and character.
Match
A text encoder puts your words in the same space. A recorded clip blends with them.
Rank
Vector similarity, AI tags, and your filters, fused into one ranking.
Every pick and correction you make retrains it locally.
The Cloud
Your Machine

Your samples never
leave your computer.

The AI model runs entirely on your machine. Indexing, embedding, and every search happen locally, with no uploads, no cloud processing, and no request that ever sends your audio anywhere. Your library stays yours.

No audio ever uploaded
Your samples and index live only on your drive.
Works fully offline
After a one-time license activation, search runs with zero internet.
No telemetry, no tracking
We can’t see your library, your searches, or your sounds.
