Product Details

What is Shift?

Shift is a desktop app for streamlining accounts, apps, and workflows, available for Windows or Mac workstations. Once downloaded, it enables the end user to simultaneously access and interact with multiple email accounts, enterprise apps, and integrated collaboration tools. It provides a search tool, notifications, and a customizable workspace interface to keep all necessary tools managed. Users can also create and share focused Workspaces with mission-critical tabs, bookmarks, and apps for personal or individual use, or for team use.

Its most basic functionality enables the worker to see and manage multiple email accounts in one place (e.g. Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Outlook, etc). Also, users can include extension. Some among these are: Boomerang, Grammarly, Dropbox, Gmelius, GoToMeeting, HubSpot, Mailtrack, Lastpass, MixMax, Todoist, Zoom, and Streak.

The vendor states their focus with Shift is on providing logic and beauty, and that it ultimately aims to drive efficiency flowing from improved organization and end-user comfort while managing multiple apps from a single workspace.

It’s fantastic to be able to have all of my email accounts in one seamless app for my
macbook. I use it for my personal email, work email and consulting business emails and it’s awesome. There isn’t a direct “gmail app” for MacBook and that is how I came across this product and love it.
  • Organize multiple email inboxes
  • Allows for a workspace for each account
  • The app integrations are handy
  • Some apps don’t work as well as they would on a regular plugin for a browser
  • Web browser is nice, but Chrome is a bit more user friendly
  • Sometimes things load strange and take over a work space (some forms or PDFs)
It’s awesome when you have multiple emails and want them to all maintain their appearance and function of the native inbox (Outlook, Gmail, etc).

It isn’t the greatest at times with calendars in certain scenarios and Microsoft teams app is atrocious to begin with and especially on the Shift app version.
  • Streamlined my emails
  • Great for keeping each email “workspace” in a ready to resume format
I haven’t used other similar apps. Love this one and HATE the native “Mail” app that comes on Apple.

We use a lot of different programs to communicate since we are all WFH and that can make it really overwhelming for some people. I love that Shift lets you do a lot of different things at one time and not lose anything. You can have all your workspaces separate which means less confusion when looking for a tab again later. I also like that I can go between different emails incase things were sent somewhere else it allows me to keep my daily work time down and my productivity up.
  • user friendly
  • simple design
  • all the applications you want
  • great customer service
  • more sync to computers
  • less changes visually
If you are an entrepreneur I highly recommend it. There is basically no job or task that I don't think is simplified by using Shift. Even being a parent would be a little bit easier because you can easily keep an eye on everyone's emails and social accounts without having to be over them all the time.
  • efficiency is up
  • productivity is up
  • stress is down
I like Shift better than anything else I have ever used to organize.

As a professional juggling numerous projects and roles, I found myself drowning in a sea of open browser tabs, each dedicated to a different Gmail account. That's when I discovered Shift - a game-changer in email management. Shift is not just another email client; it's a productivity powerhouse tailored specifically for Gmail users like myself.
  • Unified Workspace.
  • Seamless Navigation.
  • Customizable Workspaces.
  • Login in Office365.
When you have multiple email accounts on Gmail, it is paramount to have a system like Shift. Also, when you have several accounts scattered between Gmail, Office365, and Yahoo mail, Shift's commitment to safeguarding my information is reassuring. With features like passcode protection and end-to-end encryption, I can trust that my emails and sensitive information remain secure.
  • Faster time checking emails.
I wouldn't say I liked the user experience and the difficulty in configuration. I generally like to keep my UX and UI as consistent as possible, and Shift does that. Moreover, I wanted to save all my Gmail labels and have their catalog precisely as on the Gmail website. Thunderbird for Mac is a bit tacky.

I use Shift at work to streamline the process of managing multiple email accounts, using Slack, and using a few other platforms all in one window. Because I have a research-heavy job - I already always have a million tabs open. It is nice to be able to have a separate window where I can house all of my communication-related apps/websites/etc and a few others. I recommended the platform to a couple of other people at my company who now use it too. I'd say this is more of a personal workflow solution than a general business solution.
  • Streamlines personal workflow.
  • It helps manage multiple inboxes quickly and easily.
  • Offer tons of integrations for other platforms you use like Slack, banking, Hootsuite, etc.
  • Every once in awhile it can be a bit slow.
  • Once in a while if I am using Shift on my monitor screen and I close my laptop, next time I use my laptop with no monitor I can't get Shift to come up again. I can only get the window back when I plug back into my monitor. Super annoying for something that I pay for.
  • It doesn't always keep you logged in to each platform you have installed. I suppose this keeps things secure - but I wish it just stayed log in to everything.
I think it's great if you have too many tabs open, and like being able to seamlessly manage more then one inbox plus Slack all from one window. It's also nice that you can mute all notifications at once. Works specifically well with Gmail. I don't think you would need Slack if you are already very organized and systematic about how you manage your email/Slack or if you don't use Gmail.
  • It is not expensive and really helps me streamline my organization so I love it!
  • It is a very low learning curve.
I have never seen anything else like Shift and that is why I love it! It is very simple.
It is simple and has exactly what I need. If they worked out a few minor bugs, I think it would be perfect.
