Page Privacy

You decide who sees each SievePage. A page can be public for everyone or private for just you.

Public by default

When you sign up, your main page at sieve.page/yourusername is public. Public pages are visible to anyone and can appear in search results and link previews.

Who can react to your cards

Anyone who can view a page can react to its cards.

  • On a public page, that includes signed-out visitors.
  • On a private page, it is just you.
  • No one can stack the same reaction to inflate a card, and you only ever see totals, never who reacted.
  • See Page health for how reactions feed your page's community activity.

Making a page private

Private means only you can see it. Anyone else who opens the link gets a short "this page is private" notice instead. Making a page private is a Pro feature, and works on all your Pro pages.

  • Quickest: click the Public / Private badge in the status row at the top of any page and pick Private (lock) or Public (globe).
  • Or open the Share dialog and set Visibility to Private.
  • Switch back to Public whenever you're ready. The change takes effect immediately, and the badge updates the moment you toggle it.

What a private page hides

Turning a page private hides everything on it from everyone but you:

  • Cards, columns, and your commission queue
  • Gallery media (images, video, and audio)
  • Any card you shared with a direct link, including one posted on social. The link stops showing your content.
  • Link previews and search listings fall back to a plain placeholder. Nothing leaks.

If you make a page private after sharing it publicly, those older links and previews stop working for visitors right away.

Free and Pro

  • Free: your one username page at sieve.page/yourusername. It is always public.
  • Pro: multiple pages and private pages (flip any page to private in a tap).

See Plans and credits for the full plan comparison.

Where everything lives

  • The Public / Private badge: in the status row near the top of your page. It shows the current state, and on Pro it switches it.
  • Visibility: in the Share dialog, the other way to switch it.
  • Create a page: the + New page button in the sidebar.
