Shift Browser
Shift Browser is a customizable Chromium-based web browser for Mac that helps you organize websites, web apps, and workspaces in one app.
What is Shift Browser?
Shift Browser is a desktop web browser for Mac that helps people manage browsing, web apps, and online accounts in a single workspace. It is designed for users who spend much of their day in browser-based tools and want to keep work, school, and personal activity organized. Shift includes customizable Spaces so you can separate different contexts, add web apps for quicker access, and arrange your layout around the tools you use most often. It also supports standard browsing tasks such as tabs, bookmarks, downloads, and notifications, while syncing parts of your setup across supported desktop devices. Published by Redbrick Technologies Inc., Shift Browser is positioned as a browser-centric productivity tool rather than a general communication or file-storage app.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Shift Browser is legitimate desktop browser software. It can access the same kinds of websites, downloads, cookies, saved sessions, and notifications that other browsers handle, and it may ask to become your default browser or send system notifications. Those behaviors are normal for a browser. Because it stores browsing data and can keep multiple accounts signed in, use the privacy and site-permission settings that match how you work, especially on a shared Mac.
Recommendation: Keep Shift Browser if you actively use it to organize web apps or separate different online workflows. Remove it if you no longer use it and prefer another browser, knowing that uninstalling it will also remove your local browser setup unless you have synced the parts you want to keep.
