"This is magic man, solving a lot of problems. We have an iPad for kids for homeschool and this is the first time I've felt like they're safe."
"Yes, I have tried several. Apple native screen time, Opal, etc. The roadblocks they put up are too easy to get around, and I found myself disabling them whenever I wanted to do something that was blocked – it just becomes muscle memory. Shift struck me because it is a deeper product integration, and a better psychological approach."
"This is the best app out there by the way…[I've tried] all of them. Brick came the closest but was still too easy to get around."
"This is absolutely awesome. No support needed just freaking love this app. Web/app dev for 15+ years lmk if you need anything."
"It's been wonderful the last two months to not sit in my phone when I get home from work and be present with the family until they are in bed."
"Hey! I just finished my first 30 day stretch and it was fantastic. Just having all the essentials without the distractions. I'm not free yet from the decades of attachment, but a major step was taken to detach. Thank you."
"The app, customer support and the thousands of hours I'll get back are well worth much more than what I paid, very glad I tried it out."
"Awesome. So far loving this product. Tried so many others before. Primarily Opal, but other productivity apps that had app blocking features that ended up not being able to block everything based on some Apple restrictions."
"I've been telling people all week how much I enjoyed having my phone shifted over the weekend. It was truly wonderful."
"it works very well...almost too well. 😊"
"Yes, shift is everything I was hoping for! It really is the no nonsense app that truly blocks all those addictive and dopamine inducing apps. I also love how friendly & responsive customer service is, especially when it comes to my request to open up certain apps."
"It's an excellent product that definitely helps me with my goals....Still works well on my iPad. I mostly use the Holidays feature because I like taking maybe the weekend and some time away from my devices. I used the schedule feature a little bit but it's not the main feature I use."
"The scheduling to Shift is extremely useful as to lock down my device to limit distractions for events and sleep!"
See how SHIFT keeps essentials available while it hides the distracting apps that break your focus.
What is SHIFT?
A button on your computer that turns on or off the entertaining and distracting apps.
Can I pick which apps are unrestricted?
No, all apps have been pre-filtered for usefulness and entertainment.
What is considered "useful"?
All apps which provide utility or productivity—such as payment, navigation, note taking, health and wellness, and messaging—are available while shifted.
What is considered "entertaining"?
All apps which provide entertainment value and distractions—such as social media, gaming, and news/magazine apps—are unavailable while shifted.
What is a dumb phone?
A dumb phone is a basic mobile phone that lacks advanced features like internet browsing and entertainment apps.
Why not just buy a dumb phone?
A dumb phone lacks the indispensable yet non-distracting features of a smartphone, such as music, photos, GPS, and more.
What is the difference between SHIFT and a dumbphone?
A dumb phone does not provide the innumerable tools that are necessary in the modern age—navigation, capturing photo and video, banking, note taking, listening to music and audiobooks, prayer apps, reminders, and more. SHIFT maintains the useful tools of a smartphone and merely disables the entertaining functions.
Is this a subscription service?
No. You own SHIFT for life, including all updates and versions that are released.
Does this work on Android?
Yes, SHIFT works on both Android and iOS devices. On Android, the blocked apps do not visibly disappear while shifted; they are simply disabled.
Does SHIFT work on Apple Watches?
Yes—apps that are restricted by SHIFT will disappear from the Apple Watch while the iPhone is shifted, and reappear when the iPhone has unshifted.
Does SHIFT work on iPads?
Yes, you can apply SHIFT to your iPad the same way you apply it to your phone.
How is SHIFT applied to my phone?
SHIFT is applied to your phone by downloading SHIFT on your computer and following the setup instructions.
Can I install SHIFT to my phone with both Mac and PC?
Yes, SHIFT can be installed to your phone via both Mac and PC.
Is SHIFT wireless?
Installing SHIFT onto the iPhone requires a cable. Android is installed wirelessly. After installation, SHIFT works wirelessly on both Android and iPhone.
I work on my computer—couldn't I easily unshift all the time?
SHIFT offers focus sessions, which totally block unshifting for 30, 60, and 90 minute periods.
What if I need tech support?
You can text us for prompt assistance at the number provided within the desktop application.
What about Brick, Blok, Bloom, etc?
These services do not work on Android devices, and can be easily disabled whenever the user wants. They rely on NFC tokens which can be hacked or stolen.
Why not use Screen Time, or apps like Opal?
These services do not work on Android devices, they can be easily disabled or deleted, and do not protect the user from going back on their goals. They are also often subscription-based.
What if there's an app I want to be whitelisted?
Users can request for productivity apps to be made available via the desktop application.
Will I lose any photos or data?
No, SHIFT does not affect your photos or data.
Will my phone settings be altered?
No, SHIFT does not alter your personal settings.
Can SHIFT read my personal information?
No, SHIFT does not read, download, transmit, or store your personal information.
What if my computer crashes or is lost?
You can redeem your license code on a new computer and continue using SHIFT.
Can I set a schedule to automatically shift my phone?
Yes, you can set a schedule in the SHIFT app.
What is your refund policy?
We have a 30 Day money back guarantee. If SHIFT isn't right for you, reach out to us via the customer support line and we'll take care of you!
Can I use this in my business or school?
Yes, reach out to us for enterprise options at (772) 202-0410.
Does SHIFT sell my data?
No. We also collect 1/1000th of the data that Instagram, TikTok, etc. collect, and we only use what little data we need in order to shift the device. In fact, while shifted, the endless stream of private data—such as front and rear camera use, microphone use, and eye tracking—that is being mined from your device (even if the social media apps are closed) is stopped. While shifted, you have more privacy than you've ever had on your iPhone. Put another way, SHIFT collects such little data that if the entire company was hacked, the only personally identifiable information a bad actor could find on our customers is their email address.
Why do I need to disable Stolen Device Protection and Find My to install SHIFT on my iPhone?
This is a standard Apple requirement—these would need to be disabled in order to make a backup of your iPhone to your computer as well. Both can be re-enabled after SHIFT is installed.
What does Supervised and "Owned" by RETVRN Inc. mean?
RETVRN Inc. doesn't own your phone when you install SHIFT. That is the native Apple message that displays for Supervision. Supervision is the feature which prevents the user from removing SHIFT from their phone; otherwise SHIFT could be deleted when a user wanted more screen time, like all other apps on the market. This Supervision is fully reversible when a user chooses to remove SHIFT completely from their phone. Supervision does NOT grant RETVRN Inc. access to any personal data on the phone. You can read more about what Supervision does here.
What is your privacy policy?
Our privacy policy can be found here.
Install SHIFT in minutes and block every distracting app at the push of a button.
