Multiple platforms
With Shift, you do not have to worry much about your device being compatible. This is because Shift works with Windows, Mac and Linux. All you have to do is sign in to your preferred account and pick up from where you last left.

Is Shift right for me?
As much as Shift is hailed to help improve productivity, this does not mean it will appeal to anyone. If you do not work with too many accounts at once, then Shift may not make much sense.

As such, it is ideal for bloggers, CEOs, designers, entrepreneurs, freelancers, YouTubers and just anyone who runs an online business.
Let’s look at how Shift fairs against its competitors
Shift Vs Competitors
Shift vs Station
Station boast in being an all-in-one app that helps combine Google, social media, email, drive and much more. Unlike Shift that allows you to open a browser window within the app, Station, does not offer this feature, and this means you have to open the app as well as a browser.
Shift vs Franz
Franz is another revolutionary app that helps toggle messaging and chat services into one app. Unfortunately, it stops at that, and those do not offer an all-round solution, unlike Shift in terms of bringing in all apps and emails to one central place.
Shift Vs Thunderbird
Thunderbird is a free application that focused on customizing your emailing regime. However, its limitation on other apps means Shift still rules thanks to its convenience in toggling myriad apps and emails.
