"Seamless Multitasking Experience with Shift"
5/5
What do you like best about Shift?

I absolutely love the multiple workspace options that Shift offers, which allow me to have all my apps within one browser and easily toggle between them. This feature is crucial for my workflow management, as it enables smoother multitasking and helps streamline tasks like writing emails, checking platforms, and answering messages on WhatsApp. Shift's ability to activate and search for apps across different workspaces is incredibly helpful and made the setup process straightforward. Moreover, it only took me about a week to get comfortable using all the features. I find integrating various business communication apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, and others in Shift to be beneficial, as it keeps everything centralized and supports seamless communication. In terms of user interface, each workspace's ability to have individual tabs stands out, making it much easier to manage and organize tasks without confusion. Overall, Shift is just right as it is, primarily due to its efficient workspace management capabilities, and I highly value the productivity boost it provides.

"Streamlines Email Management and Boosts Productivity"
5/5
What do you like best about Shift?

I really enjoy how easy it is to set up Shift, with its straightforward layout and seamless sign-in process. It keeps my desktop organized by reducing clutter, making it easier to manage multiple email accounts and applications without constantly switching tabs or windows. I appreciate the streamlined email management, which helps keep my work organized and efficient. The recent updates, especially the ability to open links within Shift, have been incredibly useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

While I find Shift generally useful, one thing that could improve my experience is if Shift allowed opening a tab in a separate Shift window instead of defaulting to the Chrome browser. It's not a problem but more of a 'nice to have' feature for better usability. Also, I would like a unified inbox or calendar across the different email accounts I use. I suspect this might be possible within Shift's Infrastructure, but if it is, I haven't yet discovered how to utilize it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

We're thrilled to hear that you find Shift easy to set up and that it helps keep your desktop organized and efficient. We appreciate your feedback about opening tabs in a separate Shift window and having a unified inbox or calendar. We did have a feature in our previous version for Unified Calendar, so I'll add your feedback and make sure it gets back to Product to see if we can get that feature added to the roadmap for the new version. We are also currently working on additional settings for opening links that should be coming soon, so keep updating Shift to see additional settings added!

"Shift helps to maximize my workflow and productivity!"
5/5
What do you like best about Shift?

I really appreciate being able to use all the different platforms I need for work within a single window. This browser is very intuitive and simple to navigate, making my daily tasks much easier. I no longer need to keep countless tabs open to stay productive. As someone who is neurodivergent, I find that this setup helps me concentrate better and prevents me from feeling overwhelmed by too many tabs and applications. The apps toolbar is a fantastic feature that I rely on every day for both personal and professional tasks. Installation was straightforward, and it works seamlessly with all the applications I use regularly. I've only had to contact customer support in the 4 years I have used this program. That process was seamless and very helpful. My issue was solved quickly and efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

There are times when I have to open up an external browser to access certain websites. But that is very rare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlines Email Management Perfectly"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Shift?

I absolutely love how Shift helps me stay organized by managing multiple Gmail accounts efficiently. Its ability to streamline my workflow in my talent and marketing agency has been invaluable. I find setting up accounts and using them visually easy, which enhances my focus and productivity. The FAQ site is a great support resource. I appreciate the feature of customizing notifications for different accounts, which helps me maintain an inbox zero approach and prioritize tasks effectively. The capability of linking multiple accounts smoothly, and staying logged into apps without issues is incredibly useful, especially since I work with diverse clients. I also value that I can see everything at a glance, making my workflow simpler and more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

I wish there was a way to drag an item into its own window for better screen management. Currently, when I click on something, it opens in a window within Shift rather than in a new, separate window. This limitation affects my use of a split screen and the flexibility of managing multiple windows across my desktop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

We're delighted to hear that Shift has been instrumental in helping you maintain an inbox zero approach and prioritize tasks effectively. We appreciate your feedback about the screen management - the new version of Shift does have multi-window functionality. You should be able to click on a tab and pull it out of the main window into it's own window.

"It's Like Shift-ing Gears"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Shift?

I literally use Shift every single day and one of the things I like most about Shift is that I can have a desktop app feeling with a browser-centric solution. I don't like having to open up a browser and then login to my Gmail accounts. With Shift, I can have multiple Gmail accounts in one desktop view and easily see what I need to see to communicate with others more efficiently and effectively. It is like "Shift"-ing gears with your email accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

This is going to be more operator error that an issue with Shift itself, but when initially installing the desktop application, it kept wanting to act like a browser window than my email client. Again, I think that was me not figuring out how to structure it properly as I wanted to use it. I have it figured out now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the desktop app feel and the convenience of managing multiple Gmail accounts in one view. Thank you for sharing your positive experience with Shift!

"Boosts Productivity, Centralizes Tasks Seamlessly"
5/5
What do you like best about Shift?

I love how Shift seamlessly integrates various tools and platforms, helping me manage my businesses efficiently. The ability to move swiftly between apps like Google Suite, HubSpot, and QuickBooks on a single platform is incredibly beneficial. Shift has significantly increased my productivity by decluttering my desktop and enabling efficient task management. The importing of settings from Google and the wide range of app connections are particularly useful. Additionally, I appreciate that the developers implement real-time feedback, enhancing the platform continually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

I find it challenging to maintain screen awareness and keep track of the tabs I have open in Shift. Occasionally, I lose screens and it's difficult to locate them again. Furthermore, when I'm in a Google Meet and sharing a Google Slides presentation, I encounter issues managing my view. I wish there was a picture-in-picture (PIP) feature that allowed me to see the slides while still being able to view participants, without needing to open another browser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

Thank you for sharing your experience with Shift! We're glad to hear that the ability to move swiftly between apps and the wide range of app connections have been beneficial for your business management. We'll take your feedback about screen awareness and Google Meet issues into consideration for future improvements. Our newest version of Shift will support Picture in Picture functionality, the migration process to bring v9 users over to this new version should be ready in November, so stay tuned!

"Unified Platform for Email and Apps with Minor Reauthorization Hiccup"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Shift?

I love using Shift because it conveniently consolidates all my email accounts and other applications like Slack, monday.com, Google Ads, and more into one platform, which streamlines my workflow. Setting it up is incredibly easy, simply involving logging into each Gmail account. The integration of various tools within Shift is simple, saving time and enhancing convenience since I don't need to leave the application. The browser and app integrations within Shift make it highly functional and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

I find the repeated reauthorizations with Google and Gmail frustrating. These reauthorizations are required every week or so, forcing me to use my phone to scan QR codes and reauthorize the app, which is an inconvenient process. Additionally, biometric passkeys aren't allowed, exacerbating the issue. Moreover, the Office 365 integration is problematic if you have the GoDaddy version, as it becomes unusable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

We're thrilled to hear that Shift has streamlined your workflow by consolidating all your email accounts and applications into one platform. We're sorry to hear about the frustration with the reauthorization process and the issues with Office 365 integration. Please don't hesitate to reach out to our Support team with information on the regular sign-ins you're having to do, we'd love to investigate further and help!

"Gamechanging time saving software"
5/5
What do you like best about Shift?

Shift is a one-stop-shop for all of the many platforms we use in our consulting business. Having multiple account and multiple platforms all logged in and ready to use is priceless. Shift is easy and intuitive to use, I am a heavy user and it has performed incredibly well - keeping accounts logged in and ready to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

There are very few downsides with Shift - perhaps a few quirks within each platform. A few exports from salesforce require a different browser, but for the most part I do a ton of work within the shift platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear that Shift has been able to solve the challenge of managing multiple accounts and platforms, making your work more seamless and efficient.

"My one and only multi-job organizer"
5/5
What do you like best about Shift?

Shift helps me to keep track of everything in my multi-job life. Managing different Google Accounts very easily in one application. I like the board to switch around the Google Accounts and self-defined workspaces for other topics I'm working on. I use it daily.

It's installed on my MacBook, and I miss it very much on my iPad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

There was a period of instability that has been gone for some months. And I'd like to have the free icons on apps back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Shift helps keep my digital workspace tidy and streamlined"
5/5
What do you like best about Shift?

I use a handful of platforms daily: ClickUp, Notion, Flodesk, Google Calendar. Shift helps me keep them all in one tidy workspace. Instead of bouncing between tabs or digging through bookmarks, I can move between apps without breaking focus. It’s become part of my daily rhythm and makes the backend of my work feel more organized and less chaotic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shift?

There’s not much I don’t like, honestly. It doesn’t support every single tool I use, but it covers most of my core platforms. The clean interface and time saved are well worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Cait Woodcock of Shift

We're delighted to hear that Shift has helped you cut down on distractions and keep everything organized in one place. It's fantastic to know that it has made your day-to-day feel more focused and less cluttered. We appreciate your feedback and are thrilled to have made a big difference in your work!
