What is ShiftPlus?
ShiftPlus is a native macOS workspace switcher that bundles your browser profiles, apps, window layouts, and terminal environment into a single hotkey. Instead of using a window manager and a browser profile tool and a launcher and a terminal multiplexer — ShiftPlus does all of it in one place, designed specifically for people who work across multiple projects, clients, or contexts every day. Press one shortcut and ShiftPlus will:
- Open the right apps with the right documents
- Launch your browsers (up to 10 supported: Chrome, Safari, Arc, Brave, Edge, Firefox, Vivaldi, Opera, Zen, Dia) with the correct profiles and URLs already loaded
- Restore your window positions across multiple monitors and macOS Spaces (Desktops)
- Inject project-specific environment variables into your terminal (perfect for switching between AWS_PROFILE, staging vs prod, etc.)
- Pull up your project folders, quick links, and per-project hotkeys
Built for:
- Full-stack and DevOps engineers managing multiple dev/staging/prod contexts
- Freelancers and agency owners juggling 3+ client workspaces
- Product managers and consultants who switch between initiatives all day
- Anyone tired of the 23-minute tax to regain focus after a context switch
Key features:
- 🚀 One-hotkey workspace switching (apps + browsers + windows + terminal)
- 🌐 Multi-browser profile support — Chrome, Arc, Brave, Edge, Firefox, Safari, and more
- 🪟 Window layout & multi-monitor arrangement memory
- 💻 Terminal environment variable injection (unique to ShiftPlus)
- 🔗 Per-project quick links, folders, and apps whitelist
- ?? iCloud Sync — your profiles roam across all your Macs (Pro 2 Devices)
- ? Native Swift app — no Electron, low memory footprint
- 🔒 Privacy-first — everything stays on your devices
Why ShiftPlus instead of the alternatives:
- More than Spencer or Stay — ShiftPlus restores not just windows, but your full workspace state including browser logins and terminal env
- Lighter than Shift or Wavebox — native macOS, not a heavy Electron wrapper around your browser
- Deeper than Arc Spaces — works across all your browsers and apps, not just inside one browser
- Complements Raycast and Alfred — ShiftPlus handles the workspace state they don't
Pricing: Lifetime license via Lemon Squeezy. Pro tier for single Mac, Pro 2 Devices tier adds iCloud Sync across 2 Macs. No subscription, free updates within major version.
Requirements: macOS 14.6 or later. Apple Silicon and Intel both supported.
