Shift Reviews

I'm a huge fan of Shift and recommend it to people all the time who have Mac. I love it and use it daily and has made keeping my multiple emails (from different hosts as well) all in one place. It preserves the look of that email interface (Ex; Gmail inbox is true to browser capability and look

I love that I can have all my email accounts work seamlessly in one app. The workspaces are a bonus and I love that I can switch between personal and business all within one app with a quick click and resume workflow without missing a beat. I absolutely refuse to use the mail app that comes standard on Mac. I hate the interface and how it looks and without a Gmail app, this is how I came across it. I also prefer it over the Outlook app as I can have both my Microsoft and Gmail hosted email accounts in one place, yet in their own separate workstations, rather than lumping them all into one inbox.

Sometimes the apps that you can integrate don't seem to function optimally.

I definitely recommend Shift. I was looking for an app that would integrate all my Google apps into one place, and Shift did it. Shift is to Google what Outlook is for Microsoft.

I got tired of flipping between Gmail, Docs, Sheets and other Google apps. Especially when I'm managing multiple Google accounts for clients. Shift solved that issue by creating a one-stop-shop workplace for all my accounts and apps. If you manage multiple Gmail inboxes, Shift is the best option I've come across to make that process a less cluttered process.

Not a lot of downsides. Perhaps the password and bookmark functions could be a little better, but Shift doesn't completely replace my regular browser so not big deals.

I couldn't live without Shift! It really does make my working day a breeze by making switching between all of my applications really easy, and not having to have a multitude of Google Chrome tabs open (which I already do, being a web designer).

Shift helps me stay organised and focused by having a central portal to access all of my high-use apps, such as email, calendar, CRM, project management tools, as well as having 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.

Sometimes the icons in the left hand panel visually disappear – but a quick quit and restart fixes that!

Overall, Shift has been a big help to my workflow. For me, it is the one-stop shop for Google accounts.

Shift is an excellent program that allows me to easily manage multiple Google accounts. This allows me to keep my browser free for internet use without having to worry about which account I have signed in as.

There isn't a lot that I don't like about Shift. Sometimes I have to re-sign in to my Google accounts, but it does remember my passwords which is helpful.

I’d recommend this to anyone! It’s so easy to use and it’s amazing to have all of my tools and resources contained in 1 application.

I love that I can do everything I need to do or access in my day to day, directly from Shift! It keeps things organized and reduces time in my workflows.

Sometimes the screen will freeze and I will have to restart shift. This doesn’t happen often.

I love this tool and have purchased it personally so that I can be more efficient with my time and my priorities. I've used it while at multiple businesses and for my volunteering endeavors and it is a timesaver and keeps me organized.

All of my important applications (personal and professional) live in one place. I can manage my messaging, calendar, and email in one place along with my task list to make getting something done via reminders/emails/events very easily. Everything is in the same place within the applications so I don't have to flip through multiple browser windows and everything stays logged in so I don't have to constantly type in passwords.

My only downside is that I can't combine views such a combined calendar or email view; I have to view them separately.

I find Shift easy to use and stable. It certainly streamlines my day to day work. and would be hard to find an alternative.

Saves me loads of time switching back and forth from say Gmail, Linkedin, HubSpot, WhatsApp etc. It certainly streamlines my workflow.

I use Shift almost every day as it really is my productivity hub.

I've not yet needed customer support and I've been using Shift for 2 years now.

Sometimes extensions need to be manually reloaded (usually HubSpot).

I've been using it on a daily basis for my job during the last 3 years, and I will keep using it for much more time

Having everything centralized helps me focus on what's really important for my job, having less distractions and without having to open other tools or products to check what I need, or even to navigate through different windows

More apps to integrate within will be a top feature that will increase the value of the product

I love it, it is a epic solution to my working multiple apps at once problem! I spend my working day using many different applications and to have them in once place is fantastic.

Keeps everything in one window on one app! I use things like Microsoft To Do, email clients like Google, and workflows like Trello and you can use them all in here.

Wish the browser was more widely recognised by websites.

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 however, and shift keeps me connected to every client environment I need.

Seamless switching between client environments and mail. Shift always runs in the background ready to use and save the day!

Computer gets warm, blows, processing power is required.

Love Shift and will continue using it. It is a one stop shop for everything I need in a day to work, work fast and easily.

Easy to use, consolidates all my accounts and looks great. I use shift daily and it has improved my overall time efficiency adding effortless ability.

Some addons aren't compatible, I have been trying to add a BitDefender plugin that refuses to work and the likely suspect is the Shift platform blocking it.

I use multiple chat and messaging services for business and personal use, 15 of them to be exact. Previously this meant running multiple different apps on my system or having a ton of browser windows open that I would accidentally close when I was done browsing normal websites. This was a huge pain. Shift was a godsend! I can combine all my chat/messaging apps into one location/app, and not have to worry about accidentally shutting one of them down. It gets heavy use from me each day, and the integration with all the platforms seems pretty solid. It's super easy to install, and any time I've had a bug, customer support is pretty prompt about getting back.

- fantastic handling of using multiple web chat platforms
- great way to make containers for custom web apps, without having to resort to multiple browser instances that can be accidentally closed down
-super easy to install

The notification badges and use of web plugins can be inconsistent/glitchy at times.

Very easy to use, increases my efficiency, decreases my overwhelm. Overall, a non-negotiable piece of software for my business.

This solves the age-old consultant/agency problem – how to keep up with multiple task management, communication apps, and emails at once! And it does it beautifully and simply.

The only thing I would improve is more options for personalising the program, and perhaps different pricing tiers.

Shift is solving my problem of tab hoarding and app disorganization. It helps me save time while I browse and streamlines my digital life.

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 a list of apps I use for work, for my social/personal life, and for side projects. Not only do I have all of my apps only one click away, the workspaces in Shift also allows me to focus on specific tasks at a time, dividing my work and personal life beautifully. It's a bonus that Shift has also cured my tab hoarding tendencies.

Bugs could sometimes occur in Shift, but the customer success and tech team are always quick to resolve them.

Usually I would have many different tabs and windows open, and it would feel a bit overwhelming having to go through each tab to find what I am looking for. With Shift, it made my life so much easier and efficient having all my accounts organized in one place.

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. I can never go back to using any other web browsers.

There are bugs sometimes but the team is quick to fix them.

Overall, Shift is a very productive platform. It helps to save time by centralizing all of my work emails by adding an extension. The quick toggle feature works seamlessly. It allows me to check emails without logging out and logging in again. Its integration with Asana makes it very effective.

It has a quick toggle option to quickly switch between different accounts.
Any business emails and Microsoft 365 emails can be added.
The setup process is simple and it eliminates the account logging process.
Integration is available with Asana, Slack, Airtable and various other tools.
The user interface is super clean.

There is not much team collaboration option on this platform.

Overall, Shift is quite a good application because of the useful and productive features it provides. There are some shortcomings, but they are minor, so it can be considered a default application.

-You can have multiple Gmail account and switch between them comfortably with this app.
-Shift has very convenient shortcuts that make the work very easy and fast.
-Integration with other apps is straightforward and secure.

-It is significantly slower than other alternative applications.
-It keeps freezing, and you have to close the app from the task manager every time this happens, which is very annoying.

Overall it's great as you can be logged into a lot of similar apps at the same time without needing to log out.

Super easy to set up and login to all your accounts in one page. They add new apps all the time as well.

I wish they had more options for additional users.

Managing different email address is a very difficult task. For this, I use Shift tool. It saves me time for switching between different accounts. It connects with account and gives you freedom from login and logout problem.

The best use of this tool is to save times from switching accounts and logout problem. Very easy and convenient for business use. The user interface is appealing.

I never encountered any problem with this software.

Our small team of 3 use Shift and it has solved a lot of our pain points. You can only have so many incognito tabs before you start losing everything in the mess. Hope they keep this up at this price!

- Great UI
- Saved me countless hours
- Low usage of my computer's hardware resources
- Significantly reduced my needs for chrome tabs
- Speedy support if you need any tech support

- The USD pricing can get steep for people outside of the US
- Smaller selection of extensions compared to apps
