For creators
Let them put their money where their mouth is.
Put a cover charge on your inbox.
Strangers pay. People you trust get through free. Your bio shouldn't be an open inbox for every pitch bot.
The sift
Three outcomes. One handle.
People you trust pass free. Strangers pay the cover. Noise never arrives.
Trusted
Passes freePeople you trust — and domains you allowlist — reach you with zero friction.
Stranger
Pays the coverUnknowns put money where their mouth is. Settled covers go to you.
Noise
Never arrivesBlocked senders and unpaid covers never touch your real inbox.
Why it fits
Built for public people with private time.
Your reach is the product. Your attention shouldn't be free inventory for every collab pitch on the internet.
Bio-ready handle
Share a sift handle instead of a personal email or “DM me.” Your real inbox stays private behind the gate.
Pitches that mean it
Unknown brands and agencies hit your cover. They put money where their mouth is—or they never reach you.
Partners stay free
Allowlist managers, editors, and recurring partners so the people who already earn your time never pay.
The shift
From open DMs to a cover on cold outreach.
A public email or open DMs invite volume. A sift handle invites seriousness—without disappearing on the people who already matter.
FAQ
Quick answers
Will fans still reach me?
Anyone can try your handle. People you allowlist skip the cover. Everyone else pays the price you set—or they do not get through.
Can I use this for brand deals?
Yes. Serious outreach can pay the cover. Spray-and-pray pitches usually will not. Recurring partners go on your allowlist.
