Plot twist: it doesn't have to be this chaotic
Meet Shift: One browser that keeps your school, work, and personal life separate — and actually in one place.
Spaces
Spaces keep every version of you in their lane. Your prof stays in one. Your situationship stays in another.
Apps
Apps live inside of your browser so you can stop losing context and getting distracted every 7 seconds.

Who qualifies for the student plan
Full-time students, part-time students, night class takers, people doing one online course while working full time. If you're enrolled anywhere, you're in.
We’re also opening this up for educators because well… who else will manage your chaos while you’re managing your students’.
But wait, it gets better: a back-to-school giveaway
We're giving away a MacBook Air 13" M5, AirPods Pro 3, an 11" iPad Air, and an Apple Pencil Pro to one lucky student because tuition is expensive and your laptop sounds like it’s about to take off at JFK.
Real ones who made the switch
Dorson, 4th year Computer Science Student
I value my school-life balance quite a bit, and with the internet being something I interact heavily with in both worlds, being able to context switch at the click of a button has been a game changer for me.
Katelyn, 4th year Cognitive Systems Student
Whether it’s helping me to quickly access my most used apps or providing a personalized and elevated browsing experience, Shift has been a reliable companion for everyday schoolwork.
Kariman, 4th year Computer Science Student
I'm usually switching between lectures, co-op, coding projects, and group work. Shift makes it feel like my browser switches right along with me instead of working against me.
Chloe, 5th year Marketing Student
Having separate Spaces for my schoolwork, club projects, and personal browsing has been life-changing! I can focus on one task at a time, and reduce all the distractions as much as possible, without needing to delete or bookmark things for later.
