What does it look like when a founder builds his entire company inside a browser?
For Tyler Clements, founder of Surveyor Sports Management, it looks anchored, structured, and intentional. He represents purpose-driven outdoor athletes and manages every layer of his business himself, from partnerships and decks to invoicing and analytics.
He’s been using Shift since 2020. His setup has evolved alongside his agency.
Tyler’s setup at a glance
Spaces: Primary work, inquiry inbox, personal
Apps: QuickBooks, AgencyAnalytics, LinkedIn, Figma, WhatsApp, Squarespace, Wix, Google tools
Template: Maverick
Favorite feature: Saving time and having everything he needs at his fingertips (literally).
A layout that reflects how he thinks
Tyler chose the Maverick template and kept its bottom layout. Spaces line the bottom. His most-used business apps sit bottom-right. Google shortcuts live top-right.
As a self-proclaimed neat freak, a cluttered screen breaks his focus.
I don’t know how people work with a screen full of 50 tabs open. That would drive me crazy.
So he built a layout that enforces discipline. Open the task. Complete it. Close it.
How Shift’s VP of Ops built his ultimate daily driver
Doug keeps Shift running smoothly, and his browser reflects that same clarity. In this My Shift Setup, he shows how dedicated Spaces, a clean layout, and a few smart tweaks turn Shift into a workspace that keeps him focused and organized throughout the day.
Read MoreA primary Space built for running everything
His main Space handles the operational core:
- QuickBooks for invoicing
- American Express, PayPal, Wise
- Squarespace and Wix for athlete websites
- AgencyAnalytics for social performance
- LinkedIn for outreach
- Figma for presentations
- WhatsApp for international contacts
- Company social accounts
As a small business owner, he handles everything from strategy and bookkeeping. What saves him the most time isn’t one flashy feature. It’s proximity.
Having everything at your fingertips just a couple of clicks away has saved me seconds throughout the day. As an aggregate, it adds up.
He added something subtle but important: seeing his platforms in one place reminds him what needs attention. Visibility drives execution.
Spaces that compartmentalize responsibility
Tyler runs three clear environments:
Primary work Space
Client management and execution.
Inquiry Space
His contact email lives here. New business conversations stay separate from operational tasks.
Personal Space
Strava, personal Instagram, Monarch budgeting, and his personal inbox.
He explained that separating these communications helps him compartmentalize the type of work he’s doing. When he switches Spaces, he switches mental modes.
That boundary keeps his business from bleeding into everything else.
How a developer at Shift built his perfect browser
A Shift lead developer shares how he customizes Shift for deep focus, side projects, and speed—all inside the browser he helped build.
Read MoreWhy customization feels necessary
Tyler can’t imagine running his agency inside Safari or a generic browser window.
I honestly don’t know how I would work and balance all these different modes of workflow without Shift. The customization is necessary.
For him, this isn’t about preference. It’s about operational capability. A fixed browser interface can’t handle the layers of work he moves through in a single afternoon.
Tyler believes if you’re cooking and two ingredients are always used together, why would they sit on opposite ends of the counter? His browser follows the same principle. Tools that belong together live together.
His advice for new users
Tyler compares setting up Shift to fitting a bicycle. You won’t perfect it in an hour. You adjust it over time.
Take a beat every so often and ask:
- Am I using all these apps?
- Does this email deserve its own Space?
- Should these tools sit next to each other?
It’s not a set-it-once-and-forget-it system. It evolves as your work evolves.
Tyler’s browser looks simple at first glance, but underneath, it’s built with intention. Each Space reflects a role, each app earns its place, each corner has purpose.
And for a founder managing every moving piece of a company, that structure makes all the difference. Try out the first fully customizable browser shift.com.
