What’s the catch?
There isn’t one.
Evensift runs in your browser, not on a server, so it costs almost nothing to keep going.
Private. Your reviews stay on your computer. No analytics.
One backup file. It holds the review, every decision and every PDF.
Works offline. Install it from your browser and it opens without a connection.
If it saves you time, you can buy us a coffee.
Questions
Can I get my decisions out?
Yes. Every decision and reason as a spreadsheet (CSV), your references with their decisions as RIS, and one Word document with the PRISMA diagram, the methods paragraph and the reports excluded at full text, with reasons. Nothing is locked in.
What if I clear my browser’s data?
Your reviews live in this browser, so clearing its site data removes them. Keep a backup at the end of each screening session: one file holds the review, every decision and every PDF, and it opens on any computer.
Does it use AI?
No. Evensift does not screen for you. Every decision is made by a person.
Which files can I import?
RIS, PubMed (.nbib or .txt), Web of Science, BibTeX, EndNote XML and CSV. Decisions, labels and notes can also be brought across from another screening tool’s export.
Can I change how it looks?
Yes. Type, size, line spacing, colours and motion are yours to set, and there are light and dark themes.
What does it not do?
It does not do data extraction or risk-of-bias assessment. A review lives in one browser at a time; to move it, open a backup on the other computer.
