Shift — Shift is the productivity tool missing from your workday.

Ok, $19.99 a year isn't expensive, but Kiwi does the same as this for a one time fee that's less than half that. As I said before, yes, Shift looks a bit nicer, but what else is it bringing to the table to justify a subscription over a one-time purchase?

Hello Product Hunters, and thank you @awilkinson for hunting Shift! We built Shift with people who rely on multiple Gmail accounts and G-Suite apps like Docs, Drive and Calendar - for both personal and business purposes - in mind. In particular, those that love the Gmail web interface! One of the biggest pain points they face is constantly needing to toggle between all of these accounts. Shift ends that nightmare with one beautiful solution. Here are Shift’s best features: - Access Multiple Gmail/Inbox Accounts - Easily Switch Between Mail, Calendar & Drive - Cross-Platform Support for Windows, Mac, and Linux - Native Desktop Notifications - Support for Outlook.com With Pro, you can add unlimited accounts, across Gmail and Outlook. Shift Basic is completely free, and allows you to access up to two Gmail accounts. The good news? Every Product Hunter gets a free 90 day trial of Shift Pro! To redeem yours, make sure to click through to our website directly from here. Hint: Once you have downloaded Shift, check back in the comments below for a secret coupon code. The first one hundred customers to use the code in-app will get Shift Pro free for an entire year! Thanks for checking out Shift - we are excited to hear what you think! PS: I am putting my CEO cap on, and looking at opportunities to grow Shift. I am considering spinning it out to do just that. Right now, I am interested in chatting with highly motivated individuals that believe they could take Shift to the next level as CEO. I am also open to investors that would like to participate in that spin out. If you can help with either of those, directly, or indirectly, please feel free to email me: tobyn.sowden@rdbrck.com.

Love this concept as someone with multiple email addresses. What is the advantage of using this instead of simply "adding account" on the top right of your gmail? (Or is the bigger sell that it's a standalone app) Any plans for iOS app?

Love the UI and speed. For some crazy reason, it's way better than simply using multiple tabs in Chrome. That said, this one missing piece in my mind is chrome extension support. I use several chrome extensions for gmail and that's a must for me to use this. Give me that, and I'll buy right away!

I really like the product. You have solved for a friction in my life. I need to zoom in and keep that zoom, is there anyone to keep the zoom? Everytime I go back, its not zoomed. I need to add that in preferences. Thanks.

Shift is absolutely fantastic. I'm on the free version right now to try it out but I already love it - because on a daily basis, I switch between multiple Gmail accounts. I did want to ask though if there's any way to get Boomerang to still work within Shift? I know that's a Chrome extension but was just wondering if there would be a possible way?

I've been using WMail... basically the same thing w/o the cal/docs integrated but... that could probably happen. Anyway... cool but have this already.

this is cool, but a free browser plugin is way more important because we have many small cute extensions and crm tools in my 3 gmail accounts :)

Really cool! However you should fix you contact form.. you are using my mail address as From: which means in does not get delivered because I use DMARC..

Can one subscription be used on multiple devices? For example, I'd like to set up the application once, using the same accounts, for both my laptop and desktop.

Great so far. In my quest for the perfect multi-gmail account email client I've tried Kiwi, Airmail, Mailplane, Nylas N1, Polymail, Postbox, Spark and more. So far Shift seems to address a few of the major tradeoffs that have kept me searching. Keep up the good work.

To be honest, I don't get excited about email clients. I don't even like email, truth be told, but I like email a whole lot more than I like talking on the phone. I have multiple Gmail accounts for my various websites. Having to use Gmail in a web browser is painful, sloppy, and cumbersome. What I like most about Shift is the ability to just hide the window when I don't want email in my face, but I can easily switch to it when needed.

Switching between accounts is super easy and nicely organized (tabs). As far as the Gmail UI, once you are in the mail client it is identical. My guess is that Shift is built using the Node-Webkit framework so it is technically just a web browser with some nice bells and whistles in an enclosed environment. But that is not only fine, it's perfect. Why reinvent the wheel?

Shift is basically a much better UX wrapper for Gmail than Google currently makes available. It is such a simple idea but it is excellently implemented.

After using the free version for a bit I upgraded to Pro to help support quality work and for a few extra benefits & features.

Money well spent, IMHO.

Pros:

Shift is so much more user-friendly than Gmail out-of-the-box. I have multiple email accounts and Shift makes it easy to manage them all.

Cons:

A few bugs here-and-there but nothing major.

Hey guys, been trying out Free version and loving it so far. One question, though: Why didn't you make this cloud-based or develop an extension for Chrome or Firefox or such? My start-up, DesignBold, is looking for opportunities to grow, too! Let's connect on Twitter and talk more about how we can help each other out!

Hi, Just a quick question. I did subscribe with an gmail inbox account and it is now my primary one. Is there any way to change it and make the same mail address but gmail inbox account the primary one?

I wish thing pricing was more clear. I can't figure out how much it costs on the landing page, and even after making an account with a trial I still don't know.

I first heard about Shift on Betalist. Like many people, I was in the frustrating loop of always switching between Google accounts for work and personal as well as between Gmail, Calendar, and Drive. After using Slack for a while I thought there had to be something similar that would let me switch between Google accounts (just like I switch teams on Slack). That's when I stumbled upon Shift on Betalist and I've been using it ever since. It's so seamless and saves me so much time from getting into the annoying switch account / login loops of Google accounts.

Why should I be using this over WMail (which looks almost exactly the same but is free and unlimited), Franz, or Rambox?

Been using shift for about half a year now, and it's been a life-savor as I have multiple email addresses/ workspaces to manage. Definitely saves a TON of time switching between tabs and different software/apps. And the integrations are plentiful!

Is there a keyboard shortcut for changing accounts? I see command-1,2,3 switches views.
