A Desktop MacOS AI app that edits text and code on the spot
Shift works anywhere on your laptop, instantly editing text or code on the spot. Just highlight what you need, double-tap Shift, and let AI handle the rest. You can edit excel, words, code, or anything anywhere.
Shift is an app that lets you edit text/code on the spot with keyboard shortcuts (there's a lot of features) I made this app because I wanted to have AI everywhere on all the apps with not much UI, this way I don't have to go back and forth to multiple tabs and can just do my thing on the spot for whatever I'm doing, I use it a lot for rewriting or answering to people as well as coding. This also works on excel for creating tables or editing them as well as google sheets or any other similar platforms. I will be pushing more features, there's a built in updating mechanism inside the app where you can download the latest update, I'll be releasing a feature where you can download local LLM models like deepseek or llama through the app itself increasing privacy and security so everything is done locally on your laptop, there is now also a feature where you can add you own API keys if you want to for the models. There is a lot more features I did not show in this video, you can watch the full demo here: https://youtu.be/AtgPYKtpMmU?si=V6UShc062xr1s9iO , for more info you are welcome to visit the website here: https://shiftappai.com/
