About iSift
isift.app is developed by Ameriza Software SRL, Strada Măgura Vulturului nr. 51, București, România. Tax ID: RO17992957. Trade register: J40/16379/2005. Contact: support@isift.app.
iSift searches Messages and downloaded Apple Mail content on your Mac and exports Messages results or conversations, optionally with available attachments. You control file access, search methods and export destinations. Use the app only with data you are entitled to access.
Beta and trial
The commercial release offers a 7-day trial without a card. Starting or recovering it requires an email verification code; the original server-recorded deadline survives reinstallation. A trial does not charge you automatically: a paid subscription starts only when you explicitly complete checkout. Features and expiry of a particular beta or trial are shown in that release.
Licenses and access
A paid license provides access during the paid subscription period. Keep the key private; do not resell it, publish it or share it to bypass device limits.
- Standalone: up to two activated Macs at the same time and four distinct Macs in a rolling 12 months. Closing the app does not deactivate a Mac. Reactivating the same Mac does not consume another distinct-device allowance.
- Deactivate: Settings → License → Deactivate This Mac frees a simultaneous slot. It does not erase annual history. The remaining-activations display concerns new Macs in the rolling year, not simultaneous slots.
- iCloud: optional linking allows up to 5 active Macs verified on the same linked iCloud account, without the rolling 12-month limit. All active Macs using this allowance must be verified on that account. Deactivate existing standalone activations before changing to this mode. Linking cannot automatically transfer to a different iCloud account.
Activation, license-detail refresh and periodic validation require internet. Linked licenses also verify the iCloud account at launch and when it changes; access may be unavailable while that verification cannot complete. iCloud linking does not back up or synchronize indexes, messages or emails. See the license guide and privacy policy.
Payment and subscriptions
The commercial plans are €1.99 per month or €14.99 per year in Europe, and $2.99 per month or $16.99 per year elsewhere, excluding applicable taxes. Both include the same app features. The country selected at checkout determines the currency, taxes and final total shown before payment. A subscription renews automatically at its stated interval until cancelled.
Paddle is the reseller and Merchant of Record for these subscriptions and handles payment, taxes and receipts. Paddle’s buyer terms apply to the purchase alongside these app terms. A completed payment is verified before a license is issued; the license key is sent separately by email. Renewals extend the same key.
Manage or cancel your subscription through the link in your Paddle receipt or Paddle buyer support. Cancellation stops future renewals and takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Access continues through the paid period unless the purchase is refunded or reversed. See our refund policy.
Earlier licenses retain the conditions of their original purchase. For help with an earlier purchase, contact us with its receipt or transaction reference.
Local data, exports and updates
Original Messages and Mail files remain unchanged. Search coverage depends on downloaded content, permissions and readable formats. Update refreshes an index using changes; Reindex rebuilds from the beginning after confirmation. Keep original data and independent backups, and check exports for missing or inaccessible items.
Exports are readable text and optional attachment ZIP files; iSift does not encrypt exported files. You choose where to save and how to share them. Index deletion and preference reset are separate actions; neither deletes your original messages or emails.
App updates can be checked and installed from Settings → Updates, with installation and relaunch confirmed by you. Updates to the Messages or Mail index are separate from updating the application.
Support and your rights
For activation problems or technical support, contact support@isift.app. Nothing in these terms limits mandatory consumer rights.
