I have used shift for over 4 years as a way to consolidate my windows for notifications, bookmarks, and important applications/websites I'm tracking. I choose what notifications I want to recieve and it keeps them saved and easy to bring back up after a restart. I haven't experienced any performance drain like you sometimes get when multiple browsers are open. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love that I can manage multiple applications across my work and personal life in one applicaiton. #### Cons I have to keep my work and personal emails separately, ideally I could have a combined inbocx and calendar. --- ### Shift Is The Best All In One Software Productivity Solution - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jordan N. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2025 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. With one click I can switch back and forth as needed and Shift remembers where I was when I switch between apps. Integration is easy, just log in once and Shift always remembers which account is which. So if I have two Google Drives for example (personal and work) my work one will always be logged into my work profile and personal always logged in on my personal. No need to be logging in and out constantly. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros the ability to have all my apps installed, logged in and open in one piece of software instead of having multiple apps open in the background slowing down my Mac. I also liked you can have multiple accounts logged into the same app and split between work/personal workspaces. So no need to be logging in and out of accounts all the time. #### Cons Not much in communication of what new apps/software have been added or a timeline of upcoming features. Most software has a public roadmap these days. #### Reasons for switching to Shift Station shut down, so was looking for something similar and this was it. --- ### A Decent Workflow Software - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Heath H. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Real Estate - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: January 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros I did like the way I was able to organize different websites and bookmarks in Shift. #### Cons I found Shift to not be quite seamless enough for my everyday workflow. --- ### Combine all your mail clients/accounts/tabs into one app - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Matt G. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer & Network Security - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I love Shift and will probably never use any other client! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I've been a Shift user since 2018, when I made the jump from Outlook, macOS Mail and Thunderbird for several different accounts. Shift is awesome at consolidating all these accounts, creating unified calendars, integrating with other apps and making switching between accounts a breeze. It's very intuitive to implement. I looked into replacing Shift at once stage, reviewing a number of different open source or cheaper alternatives, but none came close. Support is always responsive and super helpful. I use Shift on a daily basis. I no longer need to maintain multiple email clients, browsers and other applications. With Shift's integration it makes working a breeze. #### Cons The cost has gone up over the past six years, but in return there is a lot of decent functionality that has been added in return. #### Reasons for switching to Shift I had too many different apps and needed an application in which I could have a single pane of glass for multiple accounts --- ### Shift is the best email client I've ever used. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Timothy K. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Legal Services - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: December 2024 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Shift is the best email client I've ever used. It was easy to set up, with no loss of conversations from the email client I used before. It's safe, simple, it groups my incoming emails, from six different accounts, into groups that I can work with and focus on the task at hand without having to be distracted by emails outside of that area of focus. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Shift seems to be the best stand-alone email client. It can integrate multiple accounts, with incoming messages automatically grouped into as many as four categories. Implementation was simple. I just entered the account access information, and it imported everything. I rely on it at work every day, to handle email quickly and efficiently and without losing track of any. It just works. I've never had to call customer support. I've tried other email clients, but Shift is the most reliable and the only one that works for me. #### Cons Shift had trouble, at times, printing to my PDF editor (PDF-Exchange Editor Plus) but they seem to have fixed it in the latest update. In fact it has now been several months since I had this issue and I use Shift throughout the day, every day. #### Reasons for switching to Shift Shift has grouping according to filters I set that works great and Shift just works better, it doesn't crash like the other one did. --- ### Focused web browser - Overall rating: 2/5 - Reviewer: Harel M. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Leisure, Travel & Tourism - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: January 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros It has nice UI which helped organized the applications integrated with shift; It has desktop notifications; it loaded on windows startup; #### Cons The application looks and feels like a web browser, and less as a native app. Sometimes I find myself asking why just not use web browser instead. Also technical problems (bug, crashes, blank pages) occur from time to time. #### Reasons for switching to Shift I needed an app for monitoring my gmail account with desktop notifications. With emphasis of faster experience. --- ### Love your Product, Except - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Christopher L. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Pharmaceuticals - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: October 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I do not need to have multiple applications open to find out what is going on, Social Media, Email, internal SLACK, School applications, webhooks, git hub all in one location means that I have only a single #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Ease of use, simple. I love having all my social media sites, emails, Cloud Locations in one place. The add-ons for all the tabs really helps. I like that I do not have to have all my browser windows open. #### Cons At the start before the update in July 2019, MS Teams worked really well. NOW, it does not work and locks up the application completely, to the point that I have no choice but to remove it from my shift. The lack of 64 Client is also an issue, I am sure with an i9 CPU processor the use of more than a 32-bit application has its limitations. But, I wish it would use more of the active CPU usage so that I can utilize this. #### Reasons for switching to Shift Too costly and no integration with my needed application. #### Vendor response Thank you for the review! We're very happy to hear you love having multiple apps in one location in Shift. Are you still having an issue with MS Teams? If so, our support team would love to hear from you: https://support.tryshift.com/new.

Great for everyday use, simple in setup, and helpful. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It has tons of applications integrated that allow for setting up all work in one application. The concept of workspaces grouping different tools around for example specific project helps focus and keeping everything organized. #### Cons For personal use, it may be perceived as pricy. #### Reasons for switching to Shift To have visibility of all notifications and work-related stuff in one place. --- ### Shift Served It's Purpose But Wavebox Kicked It Out of the Park! - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Nia P. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Marketing and Advertising - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used weekly for less than 12 months - Reviewed: December 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Overall, I was satisfied with Shift to a point. Once I found Wavebox I was MUCH happier and was capable of doing everything I originally wanted to do with Shift. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 3/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I liked the "all in one" browser technology of Shift. That's what drew me to it in the first place. #### Cons The cost, customer service, and functionality was lacking in some spaces. #### Reasons for switching to Shift I wanted a way to use multiple logins of applications like Canva. --- ### Simple, Effective, and Worth Every Penny! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Zane B. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Professional Training & Coaching - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 6 months - Reviewed: October 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Gosh, where to begin. I loved the software the minute I watched the promo. Thought it was too good to be true, then tried the free version and then fell in love and invested in the pro version - BEST MONEY SPENT. Been using it ever since I found it in early July. GREAT feature and keeps me focused and productive. LOVE LOVE LOVE the software! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I love how it cuts down on my CPU usage. Chrome takes lots of memory and Shift seems to do the job with 1/3 of the power. I love how I can have my Whatsup, text messages, and emails all in one spot. LOVE IT! #### Cons I would love if we can have the mute notification for longer than 24 hrs and also enable that on more than just the email. #### Reasons for switching to Shift Not very organized. Didn't fix the CPU usage issue like Shift does. #### Vendor response Thank you for the review! We're happy to hear that you love Shift. It is possible to mute notifications for up to 99 hours and 99 minutes and it is possible to mute notifications for mail, calendar and apps.
