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/
Hey guys super brilliant job! I was wondering (and couldn't find in the webpage) how much will it cost after the 1st-month-free-trial?
Brilliant productivity enhancing tool!
I translate across multiple platforms every day, and Shift has completely transformed how I work. It's such a relief not having to switch between tabs constantly - I just use a few keystrokes and get AI help exactly where I'm working. Adding Claude 3.7 has brought incredible accuracy to my translations. Using my custom prompts in any application has massively reduced my work time. The best part is how Shift fades into the background - it's just available whenever I need it. I use Excel, Google Sheets, and specialized translation software, and those shortcuts help me stay focused throughout my workday. If you care about efficiency without sacrificing quality, Shift isn't just another tool - it's become the productivity enhancer I never realized I needed until it became essential to my work.
This is a game-changer for developers! Whenever I’m coding, I start by outlining a function with comments on what it should do and then consult LLMs like ChatGPT or Claude for suggestions. I refine the output iteratively, copying responses into VSCode until I achieve the desired result. This app streamlines that entire process, making my workflow significantly more efficient!
Brilliant app, brilliant work @ehsan_javanbakht ! This is exactly what everyone needs. Whenever I'm coding, I write out a function definition with comments on "what to do" and ask LLMs like ChatGPT or Claude, then copy its response onto VSCode. This process repeats itself until I get what I want. This app speeds up my workflow exponentially now!
