Shift is a life saver
After using an app-integrated browser for the past 2 years, I could never go back. The most frustrating thing is switching between accounts on the same app or having to constantly log in and out. With Shift, I have a curated list of apps I use daily for different workspaces (aka, different areas of my life), and I never need to log out. I have separate lists of apps for work, my social/personal life, and side projects. Not only are all my apps just one click away, but the workspaces in Shift also allow me to focus on specific tasks at a time, beautifully dividing my work and personal life. It's a bonus that Shift has also cured my tab hoarding tendencies.
- Organize my accounts and workspaces
- Eliminate my tendency to hard tabs
- Gives me access to all of the apps I use on a daily basis, without having it constantly log in and out of them
- Less bugs
- More features

Shift is (Nearly) Perfect
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.
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)

Best One Stop Workplace Tool.
I use it as a solo, self-employed man who runs many small content creation businesses. Being a solo entrepreneur and having many different jobs to fill, including using many other apps to have a streamlined, simple, easy-to-use one-window application like Shift, helps streamline my ability to manage and maintain all of the projects I have opened once. This includes third-party apps like Canva Lightroom and WhatsAe. PP for business all in one fantastic place. I highly recommend that if you are somebody who is using a multi-application-based business, then a shift is highly recommended. It integrates into most websites. It's hard to find one that doesn't incorporate into the change, and its ability to create bookmarks import and exporting is extremely volleyball, especially when you're coming from a web browser-based business where you have to use bookmarks that are already on your Chrome.
- Unified workspace.
- Email client.
- Integrated into apps.
- Updating it's browser function for websites to detect it as a browser.
- Allowing more applications from 3rd parties.
- ability to add team members into work spaces.

Highly efficient and productive feature
I liked how it made my work much more efficient and organized. There are a lot of apps that I use daily for work and it made switching back and forth so much easier. It improved my time management. I can never go back to using any other web browsers.
- Have all email accounts in one setting
- Prevents distractions
- Quick to answer any questions I have
- Integrated all my favorite apps in one setting
- It is a little buggy but the team gets it fixed right away
- Sometimes it takes them longer to respond to my inquiries but I assume it's because they're busy
- It can sometimes heat up my laptop

Interconnectivity powered by Shift
As a consultant, I oftentimes struggle with many different client specific applications. Not every application is even allowed on my company's own laptop. Browser functionality is allowed however, and Shift keeps me connected to every client environment I need and simultaneously. This ensures I am able to seamlessly switch environments and stay updated.
- Different teams environments at the same time
- Password storage
- Mail handling
- Number of updates is quite high
- My laptop fires up quickly when using the program (processor)
- Sometimes I have some problems when a specific account tries to log in to a different account. F.i. A teams account that tries logging in with totally different credentials than it was set up for

Shift is the perfect solution for managing multiple emails and apps throughout the day.

The best app to manage multiple gmail accounts together.
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.

Great for portfolio businesses.
We have a portfolio of companies, each with its own set of SAAS products and email addresses. We use Shift to access all of them quickly without having to manage logging in and out of different tools. It also pulls all of my calendars together in one view. Even as a single email client, I find it useful as I can jump between email, Slack, WhatsApp, and Trello in one place.
- Handling multiple logins for the same apps.
- Email client.
- Unified calendar.
- Advanced features are not intuitive to setup.

Shift makes my working day a breeze!
Shift helps me stay organized and focused by having a central portal to access all of my high-use apps, such as email, calendar, CRM, project management tools, and the option to access a web browser. It helps me feel less chaotic as I don't have to have a multitude of Chrome tabs open, and I can easily toggle between platforms.
- Provides a easy to use platform to easily access a variety of applications.
- Helps me stay focused.
- Makes logging into multiple applications easy.
- Occasionally the left hand panel icons visually disappear.

Shift is worth the shift.
I use Shift to improve my workflow, with everything I need in a single platform. Without needing to open multiple tabs and programs, I save an immense amount of time. Shift also allows me to keep my passwords safe and in one place.
- Consolidate programs.
- Consolidate tabs.
- Allow add ons.
- Some addons are not compatible.
- Occasional video playback issues.
I use Shift to manage the multiple email accounts I use. One of the accounts is my business account for the church I work for. As a church, we have decided to use Google for all our document creation and management. The layout and ease of use with Shift allows me to manage multiple documents at one time.
- Multiple email accounts.
- Ability to manage multiple documents.
- Tabs remain open even after shut down.
- Not having to re-sign in back into google accounts.

Ditch anxiety-inducing tabs for Shift.
If you manage multiple Gmail inboxes, Shift is the best option I've come across to make that process less cluttered. It makes it easy to toggle back and forth between Google Workspace apps without trying to figure out which tab it's in. Replace tabs in your traditional with a much more streamlined workplace.
- Application management.
- Cleaning up browser clutter.
- Managing multiple inboxes.
- Some browser features, like bookmarks and password saving, could be improved.

All of my favorite web apps in one place
Shift collects all the frequently used web apps in one place to reduce the time to switch them all my working time. I used it for nearly all of my communication within different channels. It is the main application that opens the whole of my working time. This integration helps me focus on my work day by day.
- Integration
- Supporting multiple applications
- Helping the easy communication
- Swich back the old icon

The centrepiece of my digital landscape
Shift has transformed the way I work every day! Having one central hub that I go to for all of my apps is incredible and being able to manage multiple emails as a freelancer has been a game-changer. I regularly recommend Shift to clients and colleagues as a way of improving efficiency!

- Speeds up computer speed by having less apps open
- Very occasional crashes when opening a link to an external app

Efficiency and Ease of Use!
I use Shift in my daily life. It centralizes email, calendar, and all of the tools that I use daily - slack, Jira, confluence, productboard, Asana, etc. I can access all that I need from a central source and navigate with ease. It makes my daily life much more straightforward.
- Centralizes all tools required in daily workflows for my job.
- Makes my workflows far more efficient.
- Organizes the essentials and displays them in an easy to use UI.
- More frequent updates.
- Sometimes issues with needing to restart shift when it freezes.

Simple but extremely useful platform! I can't live without it.
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.
