  • Updated

You can install Shift Browser by downloading the installer from our website and following the setup prompts. It only takes a few minutes to get started. Once it's installed, you can organize all your apps and accounts in one place to make your workday much easier.

Check your system for Shift Browser

Before you start, make sure your computer is ready. Shift is a powerful tool, so it works best on modern systems. It's a native integration that lives on your desktop to help you stay in your flow.

System requirements

  • Operating system: You'll need Windows 10 or a newer version. Shift doesn't work on older versions of Windows.

  • Memory: We recommend at least 8 GB of RAM. This helps everything run smoothly when you have many apps open.

How to check your computer info

  1. Open your Start menu.

  2. Type "Settings" and click on it.

  3. Go to System and then click About.

  4. Look here to see your Windows version and how much RAM you have.

Note: Shift isn't supported on Chrome OS, phones, or tablets. It also won't work on laptops if they're in "tablet mode."
