Shift Overview

What is Shift?

Your power browser. Shift is the first browser to merge all your web apps into one powerful window. Streamline everything you do online when you install Shift and access thousands of apps without leaving your browser. Connect all of your Gmail, Outlook, and Office 365 accounts and manage everything from one centralized window. Build out your Shift browser with apps that integrate seamlessly so you have ultra-fast access to all the tools you use to stream, shop, work, browse, and stay connected. Shift brings it all together. We don’t use the internet for a simple search anymore. Every day, we juggle apps, hundreds of tabs, and multiple accounts—but while big browsers make that feel messy, Shift makes it simple. Tired of logging in and out? Stay logged into multiple accounts within the same app so you can toggle between profiles easily. Create multiple browser workspaces that keep different kinds of tabs, bookmarks, apps, and inboxes separate. - Email management (Gmail, GSuite, Outlook, Office 365, Yahoo! Mail) - +1,500 app integrations (Facebook Messenger, Slack, WhatsApp, Instagram) - Epic Search, one search across all your apps and inboxes - Focused browser workspaces - Customize notifications for every account

What do you like best about Shift?

Shift allows me to contain all of my tabs, content, and apps in one convenient location that allows them all to be used at warp speed. If you're looking to increase production, gain access to all sorts of super powers, and want to overcome tab burdens (we all have so many tabs open all the time), look no further. This is the application that will allow you to access all of your email, and drive accounts individually, but also together. What a great piece of software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

I was around when Shift was only $99. I want that back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shift solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used to have 10000 tabs open at all times. Not any more. Key tabs stay open in your individual email accounts, and you can switch betwixt them at the click of a button. This has altered and automated so much of what I do that I just cannot say enough good about the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

Thank you for your positive feedback! We're thrilled to hear that Shift has helped you increase productivity and manage your tabs more efficiently. And thanks for the feedback on pricing, we're always open to feedback that can help us fine tune our approach to pricing. We appreciate your support!

What do you like best about Shift?

I highly recommend Shift as I use it every day, all day! All my main applications (Outlook, Slack, Zoom, Asana, Salesforce, etc.) are in one place. I don't have a million windows open in Safari or Chrome anymore. It is embarrassing the number of times I jump on a Zoom call and have to watch other participants scramble through all their tabs to find the one they are looking for. Every time I share my screen, I get complimented on how organized I am and also get questioned about Shift. It's super easy to set up and add programs to Shift as well; very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

I prefer to use Chrome to open links, as I use Wordpress a good deal and need Shift available for transferring information back and forth between Asana and Outlook. It is frustrating when I try to open links in Outlook or Asana that they keep opening in Shift, even though I have settings updated to open in Chrome. It has been annoying that I have to right-click on the links to open them in the "default browser" every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shift solving and how is that benefiting you?

Organization of desktop and keeping all programs immediately accessible without having 50 programs open on my computer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

We appreciate your feedback about the issue with opening links in Chrome. Our team is constantly working to improve the user experience, and we'll definitely take your comments into consideration for future updates. Love hearing that your Shift setup is all the rage in virtual meetings! Getting rid of that tab chaos is a huge plus!

What do you like best about Shift?

I adore Shift it has been a staple in my life for many years now, allowing me to seamlessly manage the multiple businesses I run as well as my life as a mature student. I have been able to support my staff with shift and I have also encouraged many other folks to use it as well. It works well on my Apple computers which not all programs do and it is easy to switch between devices much more easily with some of the newer updates. Customer service has also been very helpful in the past when I needed to reach out to them. I use shift every single day! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

I dislike a handful of things about shift but most of them usually get fixed quite quickly. For a while there were some issues were it would shut down without saving your browser pages - but they tend to troubleshoot issues like this very quickly when they are brought to their attention. I have also sent emails to their cusomter support when issues arise and they have done what they can to address them in a timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shift solving and how is that benefiting you?

Shift makes sure that I do not need to sign into all of my browsers every time I use it, which is absoloutely vital to me with the multi step verifications that are quite common now. If I had to sign into them all individually it would eat up half my working time. It also allows me to focus my browser searching to each project/workplace which is very helpful for my schedule to keep everything where I need it to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Shift?

I'm constantly working on multiple projects at a time as a web developer and I tend to need to sign into services under multiple accounts. Traditional browsers don't facilitate signing into multiple GoDaddy accounts or Google accounts for clients. Shift allows the creation of multiple accounts and signing into different services inside those accounts which is perfect for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

Streamlining some features, and a way to manage tabs easier would be nice. I'm a power user and tend to see myself opening more than several hundred tabs at a time. Many times duplicates, a way to manage these easily would be a great convinience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shift solving and how is that benefiting you?

Managing multiple accounts for multiple businesses Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

It's great to hear that Shift is meeting your needs as a web developer by allowing you to work on multiple projects and sign into different accounts. We appreciate your suggestions for improving tab management and will strive to make the user experience even better.

What do you like best about Shift?

I have 4 different mail accounts and it has helped me streamline my work and keep me organized the past few years. I use it daily and love that it allows you to work in separate workspaces for each email account. I've always received timely responses when I reach out to customer support. The other good things is that it's pretty easy and straightforward to use and I love that you can integrate different apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

Honestly, I don't see may downsides. The only one would be that sometimes when I click links, it goes to my external Chrome browser vs. opening within Shift. I think I someimes prefer a separate browser because I get more screen space vs. in Shift, which is smaller. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shift solving and how is that benefiting you?

When you have lots of email accounts, all with Google Drives and independent work spaces, having it all in one place is extremely helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

Thank you for recommending Shift and for sharing how it has helped you manage your multiple email accounts and workspaces. We're glad to hear that you find it easy to use and appreciate the ability to integrate different apps. We're grateful for your support!

What do you like best about Shift?

For many years, I had to manage up to 10 email accounts for my clients as an agency owner. That meant having so many open tabs in Chrome and google getting all of the access mixed up. I used to use incognito windows just to keep them separated. Now, with Shift, I have all of these accounts in one place, and each one has its own individual login. Saved me 100's of hours of work. I highly recommend if you have to manage more than 2 in-boxes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

Sometimes, the app has minor glitches. But it is rare and mainly happened with earlier versions. New versions seem very stable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shift solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have to manage 10 accounts and you cannot do that properly in Chrome. Shift allowed me to manage all of these email accounts in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

Thank you for sharing your experience with Shift! We understand the importance of having a reliable platform to manage multiple email accounts, and we're glad to hear that Shift has been able to meet your needs.

What do you like best about Shift?

Shift saves me so much time everyday. It is so easy to keep an eye on my emails while working through out the day. I love that I can connect my other messaging tools as well. Grabbing something real quick in my Google drive is a breeze! My work day would be very bulky without Shift. I am on my third year as a Shift user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

I don't have a downside to Shift right now. The have worked really hard to work out all the kinks and add the features we all have requested. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shift solving and how is that benefiting you?

Toggling between email accounts for clients and staying on top of all messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

Being able to pivot between different email addresses and apps within the same app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

Sometimes the web browser has some issues. However, if I have issues with that, its easy enough to open up another browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shift solving and how is that benefiting you?

I own multiple businesses and have mutliple email addresses and apps that I need to manage. It is SO EASY to pivot between different accounts, which is super helpful and efficient. Prior to using Shift, I had to use different web browsers for each one of my email addresses/accounts and it was less than ideal to say the least. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

We're glad to hear that Shift has been a key part of your daily workflow and has made managing multiple email addresses and apps easier for you. We appreciate your feedback about the web browser issues and will continue to work on improving the browsing experience within Shift.

What do you like best about Shift?

The tab switching is really easy, so I can be in different accounts across Gmail and Office and keep everything organised. Being able to immediately get into calendars from there is also a big positive. And then having task apps such as ClickUp which we use internally at work and all the other messaging/social apps (LinkedIn/WhatsApp/Slack) all in one place means I use it all day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

I do find that some links don't open properly in the Shift browser but there is always the right click option to "open in default browser" which means it's never that much of a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shift solving and how is that benefiting you?

Bringing everything together, I work across multiple workplaces and organisations and so having all the email and work apps together is what seals the deal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

It's great to hear that Shift is helping you manage all your email accounts and work apps in one place. We appreciate your feedback about the tab switching and the ease of accessing calendars. We'll continue to work on improving the browser functionality to ensure a seamless experience for you.

What do you like best about Shift?

Access to my most frequently used apps in one area. Ease of set up and updates. Always adding new features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

Bit of a memory hog right now; hoping that becomes improved. Still a couple apps missing and there are recurring issues with getting Slack to work properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Shift solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have a full time job and a side business so it helps me keep everything separate in one workplace, but also aggregated in one app so I can see all notifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

It's great to hear that Shift is helping you manage your full-time job and side business effectively. Your feedback about memory usage and app compatibility is valuable to us, and we're continuously working on optimizing performance and addressing any issues to ensure a smooth and efficient experience for our users.
