✨ New Things
- Onboarding animations — The background animations during onboarding have been rebuilt for smoother performance, especially on Mac.
🐛 Bugs Fixed
- Reset Settings — Resetting Shift now restores all settings to their original defaults, including system options like background run and open on login.
- Login pop-up placement — The login window now opens in a consistent, easy-to-find position, even with multiple monitors.
-
Hidden apps in “Original Shiftie” theme — Hidden apps now stay hidden, even after changing other sidebar apps.
Advanced Settings links — Fixed an issue where hovering over internal settings links showed an unnecessary link preview. - Evernote Web Clipper — The extension now works as expected after signing in, instead of looping back to “Login successful.”
- App templates — Switching to templates with two app zones now correctly distributes your apps between them.
-
Synced History — Fixed overlapping text and components when viewing open tabs from other devices.
Onboarding on Mac — Fixed flickering and slow loading when moving through onboarding steps on some Macs. - Warning dialogs — Improved text styling so Mac and Windows labels look consistent with the design.
- Bookmark imports — Bookmarks from your main profile now appear directly on the Bookmarks Bar after import, rather than inside a nested folder.
-
Settings layout — Fixed a layout issue where the close button could overlap other UI elements when resizing to small windows.
Sign-in on Mac — The login pop-up now appears properly during onboarding and when enabling sync. - Camera & microphone permissions — Accepting permissions in Google Meet (and similar apps) no longer causes Shift to crash.
- Staying signed in — Fixed an issue where you could be signed out of websites (like Gmail) after restarting Shift. Sessions now persist as expected.
