Hey Hunters! As promised, we've got a special surprise for the First 100 to pounce 😺 Here’s what you do: Download Shift > head into Settings > click on the Pro tab (in-app) and enter our special discount code. If you’re quick enough, you’ll be automatically credited with Shift Pro for an entire year free. Ready for it? Here's the code: First100 *Please note that it is case sensitive!
I used the code but nothing happened. And I now spent $19.99 I didn't plan to... There should be a way of indicating the coupon code isn't valid anymore or something...
Is there anyway of cancelling? It says cancel anytime in settings tab but there are no links anywhere to do so.
I'm sorry - your product seems very nice but it feels like a scam when you offer a coupon but I have to enter my credit card details in order to see if I was quick enough. About to uninstall.
Maker
Thanks for the heads up. Sounds like a little glitch. We would be happy to provide you with a year of Pro for free, and you can cancel at anytime so that it does not renew (unless you change your mind at some point). Just email us at and we will take care of you.
same here, I feel a bit cheated. Nice product but I simply wanted to use the coupon code, not subscribe for a year.

Hello Product Hunters, and thank you 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: .

For those of you interested in sharing Shift with your friends, family, and colleagues - make sure you check out our referral program! You can share the Shift out of your unique referral code.. found in the app (Shift > Settings > Invite Friends). Have fun and #GetShiftDone!
Maker
Thanks for using Shift! Appreciate your feedback. We're considering including Docs & Sheets additionally so that this doesn't happen.
to increase adoption, I'd also recommend a landing page where accounts can be created without having to download the software to create an account.
Maker
uhhhh that's an amazing idea!! 👏 will work that into the next big release.
since I missed out on the "first100" promo code since there was no way to create an account from a webpage, is there I could still try that out for a year? ? I've downloaded the client, and it looks AND RUNS great so far
You have a typo on your pricing page. It says $19.99 per Year, should be Month :)
Maker
Believe it or not, it's actually ONLY $19.99 per YEAR! :) #GetShiftDone

MEDAL AWARDED ->

I just upvoted the Shift out of that comment 😁
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?
I was thinking the same i use kiwi everyday and it's fantastic. But when people send me drive links or when i have to go on the google developper console or to google play account the nightmare is still here. I have to logout from one account and login into another one ...
When did you last update Kiwi? Drive is built in now, as are Docs, Sheets and Slides as well as Calendar.
Kiwi is 10 bucks once (Canadian!) and a super-solid product. I have a hard time paying Yet Another Subscription in the email space for a product that doesn't do all that much.
Exactly.
Maker
If you love Kiwi, we love you. People that use Kiwi understand the problem of navigating Google accounts. We thought we could add our own spin and have some exciting features coming in 2017. Shift is more expensive and it's a subscription... we felt that we couldn't build a sustainable business off a small one time fee. Also, we're Canadian too! :)
does Shift not work/compatible with Mixmax? That might be the only deal-breaker for me...
Maker
Hi! Jumping in here quickly + thanks for the feedback. Not compatible yet, but this one is on our list!
I'll second this, I can't switch until you add mixmax or other email tracking
Maker
Thirding this. I was literally in awe of the product until I couldn't see my mixmax/mailtrack plugins at work. I'm going to put the product down for now, but I'm going to be in love with it once it gets that functionality.
Maker
Alright you three - save that thought - and I will brb with more Shift features for you and your plugins very soon!
The UI looks sexy. Huge question — do you support Gmail addons?
Maker
It's on the roadmap for Q1 release!!! (shhhh don't tell , but it's happening)
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.
Sorry, I said "So far Spark seem to address...", when i meant Shift. Corrected with apologies.
Maker
Much appreciated! We are stoked to have you on board.
Thanks Nadia
What didn't you like about Kiwi that you did with Shift?
Whoa, Steven... sorry for the delayed response. I backed Kiwi on Kickstarter and had been using it since beta. I have no major gripes with Kiwi, but they hit a rough patch there for a while (lots of crashes). All of that was resolved months ago but I guess I just have to say I prefer Shift's UI... it just works better for my needs and habits.
Is there a keyboard shortcut for changing accounts? I see command-1,2,3 switches views.
Maker
CMD+Option Up/Down Arrow.. this will move up and down accounts and then CMD+Option Left/Right Arrow will move between views (Mail, Calendar, Drive) ... you're already becoming a power user!! #GetShiftDone
Is there any way to change this in the settings? It conflicts with another application that also uses CMD+Option+(arrows)
Maker
we had this issue multiple times throughout the last sprint, we kept running into shortcuts that were used elsewhere. I expect that we'll do what you suggest and have an option to set your own custom shortcuts. Likely not until some time in Q1 though.
I love this, but I cannot for the life of me understand why this is a subscription? Should be just a straight 20 USD or something.
Maker
We have some exciting new features coming in 2017 on our product roadmap. We felt that we couldn't build a sustainable business off a small one time fee and thought subscription service would help us deliver a product that continues to innovate.
OK, good luck! As I said, it looks like a real cool product.
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?
Maker
Yo - that's great to hear! With Shift, you are not only toggling between Mail accounts the way you would by 'adding account' - you are also accessing Calendar, and Drive for each one, without the hassle of multiple browser tabs/logging in/logging out. 🔑
