Great Productivity Tool

I’d give Shift’s overall usability an 8/10. It’s like having a personal command center for all your emails, chats, and work apps, cutting down on “tab chaos” and saving a solid 10-20 minutes a day. If you’re constantly hopping between Gmail, Slack, Trello, and other tools, Shift makes it feel like they’re all hanging out in one cozy space. No more logging in and out of accounts or hunting for the right tab. It’s a game-changer for managers, team leads, and anyone juggling multiple inboxes. That said, it’s not perfect. It can be a bit of a memory hog, slowing down older computers, and there’s no mobile app or offline mode — so if you’re working in a stockroom with spotty Wi-Fi, you’re out of luck. The price is also a bit steep at $99/year per user, especially for smaller teams that don’t need all the bells and whistles. But for teams that live in Slack, Gmail, and project boards all day, it’s a serious time-saver. If they improved performance, added mobile access, and gave us better ways to organize our apps, I’d happily bump it up to a 9 or 10.

Well suited for - Centralized Task & Project Management for Teams on event dates. On an event I need to track tasks, inventory counts, and team project progress running up to the event using Trello, Asana, or Google Tasks Shift, which allows you to pin apps like Trello and Asana to the sidebar for easy access. You can view and update task lists without opening a browser tab. Offline work. Without any kind of back up it is difficult if there is no power or internet issues. Also sometimes role based permissions or limitations isn't in place.
