Make room for what matters with SHIFT. Build more intentional phone habits with tools for focus, planning, and managing distractions. • Start a SHIFT to step away from distracting apps. • Protect time with focus sessions and recurring schedules. • Organize your day with a calendar, tasks, and daily goals. • Manage content filtering and custom website or search-term blocks. • View usage insights when the required permissions are enabled. Some features require a paid SHIFT plan and a linked device. The in-app purchase provides lifetime access for one device, with a single payment and no subscription. Existing customers can sign in to access their eligible plan. Initial device setup requires SHIFT Desktop on a compatible Mac or Windows computer and a connection to the device. Purchasing a plan and completing device setup are separate steps.

Decent but Needs improvement

Overall, the app has been very effective, and I really appreciate what it’s designed to do. However, I think there is room for improvement when it comes to determining what should and shouldn’t be considered a “threat.”For example, a bicycle website may be completely harmless, and a picture of a stuffed animal obviously isn’t a threat, but the app will sometimes block things like this anyway. Currently, there doesn’t seem to be a way to report something as “not a threat” so that it can be reviewed and potentially whitelisted in the future.I also think it would be extremely useful to have an emergency passcode or override option. There could be legitimate situations where someone needs temporary access to social media or another blocked platform—for example, if their account is being hacked, they need to respond to an important message, or there is another urgent situation. Having a secure emergency override that could be logged or reviewed afterward would provide some flexibility without compromising the app’s overall purpose.Overall, I really like the app and think it has been helpful. Improving the threat-detection system and adding a controlled emergency override would make it even better

Shift is not well advertised or marketed, but I fully believe it is the best product on the market. Their FREE adult content blocker helped free my fiancé from his addiction. I control the content blocker from my laptop. He does not control it from his own phone, so isn’t able to uninstall it. I tested it, and when typing in search terms they don’t even load the page for adult content. Additionally, for Google images you can see the filter working on each image and blocking anything that could be even remotely adult content. Probably saved his life and definitely saved our relationship from porn. We will be buying the full product to help with social media time soon!

I love the idea

I think the idea is great but it definitely need better filtering . I usually try watching recipes to bake with and it even blurrs out those videos . It takes forever for it to filter out. I do like that I haven’t been on my phone as much because I literally can’t do much on my phone because it filters even things that are not explicit . It also slows down my phone but I’m just trying to adjust. I did it just to test it on my phone. Thinking I could use it for my kids tablet but honestly it needs a lot of updating in order for it to be functional.

Buggy but cool

I love the mission and idea of the app, keeping people safe and not addicted…but the web filter is super buggy and makes page loads take forever. I also have to keep re-enrolling my phone even though I have done it before. Tech support was very responsive at first but now they have stopped answering my messages. Please help!
