If you use multiple Gmail accounts, you’re used to having to open several tabs for everything. Shift alleviates this problem by opening up several accounts in one handy desktop client. If you're strictly a Gmail user, you know that juggling multiple accounts is a colossal pain. Newcomer Shift (available for Windows, Mac and Linux) takes away that pain, letting you shift (aha!) between accounts with ease. Shift makes perfect sense for anyone looking to significantly streamline their Google experience. For a Google-lover, Shift is an exceptional solution.
Nov 5, 2014 - We love Gmail for all it does to make email friendly and more human. But Google hasn't built an app for Gmail on the desktop like it has on iOS.
The design is clean, the functions are intuitive, and most importantly for me, it is an improvement from the glitchy and clunky Apple Mail.
App for Gmail gives you a complete control of your mail. Notifications when you receive a new email. Mobile or Desktop mode for viewing email. Auto-switch to Desktop mode with new chat message is received (setting can turn this on/off).
Responsive design based on app panel size. Window mode - When you want view your Gmail inbox outside of the menu bar, simply open the menu bar app and click the window mode button on the bottom right.
Create a keyboard shortcut to open App for Gmail Email & Chat. Control opacity of experience and only fully show the app when your mouse is in the panel. The app launches in the menu bar with the App for Gmail Email & Chat icon. If you have too many apps in your menu bar or your menu bar is filled with text, click on the Finder icon in the Dock (smiley face on the bottom left) and App for Gmail Email & Chat should appear on the right side of the menu bar.
