SECSift
Effortlessly Read and Understand Any SEC Filing
I absolutely HATE reading SEC filings on EDGAR.
They're slow and clunky, formatting is difficult to read and copy, not much is easily accessible, and it's just not a great user experience.
But every great investor reads SEC filings--how else are you supposed to get a solid understanding of a business? Stock research platforms and AI summarization tools can only tell you so much.
That's why I built SECSift, a web app that makes reading and understanding ANY SEC filing effortless.
It starts with actually finding and reading the filing. Search by ticker, company name, or CIK, and open any form you want, whether that's a 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, proxy statement, or insider form.
From there you can run growth and common-size analysis on any financial table without building a model, highlight any passage and have AI explain it or run the numbers for you, and search the full text with operators like AND, OR, and NOT.
Every AI answer is grounded in the actual filing, so it's far less likely to hallucinate.
'Sift' is the AI that analyzes the entire filing for you.
It grades every section as read, skim, or skip, and flags the exact lines that are positive, notable, or a concern, with one line on what it found and why.
All that standard legal language every company files year after year greys out, or disappears entirely, and you control how aggressive that gets.
Put simply, a 200-page 10-K becomes the 20 pages actually worth reading.
You can also select any earlier filing and see exactly what changed, with every added, edited, and deleted line marked.
Everything is exportable, and it comes out clean.
Copy any table to your clipboard or download it as CSV or Excel, source citations included.
You can also merge the same table across every filing a company has ever made, so 10 years of segment revenue comes out as one sheet (perfect for modeling btw).
Or export the entire filing as PDF or Markdown and choose exactly what's included: the AI flags, the comparison markup, your own notes, and whether routine or skipped sections get left out.
And everything you do stays organized.
Highlight anything and write a note, or save an AI answer as one. Tag your notes, filter by tag, and see notes from other filings without leaving the one you're in.
You can generate shareable links to a filing, a table, a highlighted passage, or a note, and whoever opens it lands on exactly what you were looking at.
Save filings into folders, open companies in tabs side by side, and pick up anything you recently viewed.

Creating a free account gives you 100 free credits, enough to run ~10 annual reports through the AI analysis.

The interesting part to me is the shift from “better SEC filing UX” to actually changing how much of a filing an investor needs to read.
Have you seen users consistently change their research workflow after using Sift, or is that still the main assumption you’re testing?
Yes, great observation! The handful of active users I have told me they just use 'Sift' to get a quick overview of quarterly earnings, for example, and then jump to the sections that are marked as 'Read.' Instead of scrolling through the entire thing. But you can just ignore those features altogether and read the filing normally too.
