# Shift Reviews & Product Details

Visit Website

Shift is a customizable browser built for people who live in their browser all day. Unlike standard browsers, Shift lets you drag and drop apps, bars, and controls to build a layout that actually matches how you work. Choose from 6 starter templates or build from scratch. Either way, you end up with a browser that fits your workflow, not the other way around. Whether you're a freelancer juggling clients, a remote worker managing multiple tools, or an entrepreneur running several projects at once, Shift gives you the flexibility to shape your digital workspace around your life. Sign into 1,500+ web apps, stay logged into multiple accounts at once, and use Spaces to keep work, side hustles, and personal browsing completely separate. Shift AI is built right in, so you can summarize pages, draft content, and get answers without jumping between tools or losing your train of thought. Everything you need lives in one place — your calendar, email, project management tools, and favorite apps — all accessible without the tab overload that comes with a standard browser. No more context-switching chaos, just one calm, organized place to get things done and stay focused on what actually matters. Shift is a Certified B Corp, a pioneer in carbon-neutral browsing, and has been recognized as a top browser on G2, TrustRadius, and SourceForge. Founded in 2016 in Victoria, BC, and part of the Redbrick portfolio, Shift is reimagining what a browser can do, not just for productivity, but for the planet.

"Great concept, terrible execution."

1.5/5

What do you like best about Shift?

In this case, the most important things are those that I don't like. At the surface and in their marketing, Shift is something that should ideally be saving time and making users more productive. If the app functioned as advertised and promised, it would be stellar. I like the concept of a single place for all my web apps, little to no internet tabs and working on a singular mac desktop for most of my day. If Shift could live up their promotions; it would a full star review. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

I have spent more time researching and chatting with Shift Support trying to solve the litany of bugs, app crashing, and broken browser support to pay for a Shift extension in perpautity.

This app is rife with bugs and, worse, performance issues. I am having multiple web apps become unusable multiple times a day; their resolution is to hard reset the Shift app or install and re-install the web apps. A high-maintenance, buggy browser is not what I consider a productivity tool or time saver. I am starting to think I've been duped and the 50 chrome tabs would at least save me that hassle of restarting my apps constantly.

I loved the concept and was excited to potentially get my organization to use the software; I would have been SO embarrassed had I recommended to software to any colleagues as I would have sent them on a path of wasted time and productivity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In theory, Shift is solving the million-chrome-tab dilemma that plagues modern working professionals. In reality, they've simply created their own nightmare of bad performing software that saves 0 time or frustration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Slow decent into frustration"

1.5/5

What do you like best about Shift?

When I started using Shift two years ago it was such a revolution for my productivity and organization. Everything in one window, all my client email accounts, all of my tools, everything all in one place. No more logging out of one account to long into another or using multiple browsers to go between email accounts. Anyway, it was awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

With every update it gets worse. And by worse it's like they're not doing any testing before they release an update and then wait for the customer to tell them what is not working. It's just so sad and it really bums me out. I came to G2 to find an alternate solution. I am hopeful I can find one that is good as Shift used to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Shift:

If you work in multiple email accounts and use a lot of 3rd party tools Shift is very good at streamlining it all together. I have not found a tool that I use that is not integrated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I work in dozens of windows and desktops on a mac, shift allows me to consolidate a lot of what I would have open and keeps it all in one place instead of having to find the right window for the task at hand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seems great but support is horrible"

1.5/5

What do you like best about Shift?

The seamless integration for multiple Google email accounts and calendars. The ability to add extensions like Grammarly, LastPass, Etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

Customer support is HORRIBLE. Discount codes don't work. No free trial period. Client reviews are not very great. Always seems to be an issue with the system that requires updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Shift:

On the surface - this could be a really platform but it would benefit Shift and the client to offer a full trial, even if it's 7 days. Also, better customer support. Constantly has issues that require updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Seemless integration with Google accounts so avoid having to keep multiple screen opened. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
