Desktop app
A dedicated app for your desk, with native notifications when an agent needs you.
Web app and desktop app
Your AI crew,
quietly on it.
Give every project its own agents, each in its own chat. They run your automations on schedule, browse the web, and ask before anything that matters. You step in with one tap.
See it working
One workspace. Every project, every agent.
This is the ShiftHands app: projects down the side, a chat per agent, automations that report back, and a browser you can take over.
Recorded in the ShiftHands demo workspace.
Projects and agents
Run many projects. Each with its own crew.
Group agents into projects the way you already think about your work. Every agent keeps its own chat, history and model, so research never gets tangled up with your inbox.
- See which agent is working, waiting on you, or resting
- Unread replies and running automations counted per project
- Switch an agent’s model any time from its chat
Live status
Know who’s busy at a glance.
Each agent’s mascot shows what it’s doing right now. No dashboards to decode.
Typing away on your task. The chat shows each step as it happens.
Waiting on an approval or a quick hand in the browser.
Resting until the next message or scheduled automation.
Automations
Scheduled work that reports back.
Tell an agent to do something every morning or every hour. See what’s coming up, what’s running, and what finished, with a tidy result card in the agent’s chat.

Examples from the ShiftHands demo workspace.
Approvals
It asks first. You tap once.
Before an agent runs a command, sends something or changes your files, it stops and shows you exactly what it wants to do. Allow it once or deny it, from your desk or your phone.
- The exact command, in plain view
- Typing “yes” in chat never counts as approval
- The agent carries on the moment you tap
Browser and computer use
The agent browses. You can take over anytime.
Agents work in their own browser space on your Mac. Watch it live from ShiftHands, step in when a site wants a human, then hand control straight back.
- Watch it liveA live view of the agent’s browser, right in the chat.
- Take overType into the page, use the address bar, sign in. The agent waits.
- Return to agentOne tap hands control back and the task carries on. Or tap “Can’t do it” to stop it.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
What do I need to get started?
A ShiftHands account and at least one AI subscription to connect, such as Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. Create your first project, add an agent, and give it a task in its chat.
Which AI subscriptions can I use?
Claude, ChatGPT / Codex, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, GLM and OpenRouter. Each agent can use a different one, and you can switch an agent’s model from its chat.
What’s the difference between Free and Pro?
Free includes 25 agent messages a day, one project, three agents, two daily automations and subagent teams of up to two, plus the live browser, approvals and the web and Mac apps. Pro is $49.99/month, or $499/year billed annually, and removes every limit: unlimited messages, projects, agents and automations on any schedule, teams of any size, and priority support.
I already pay for Claude or ChatGPT. Why ShiftHands?
Your AI subscription is the brain. ShiftHands is the crew that uses it: agents in every project, running on schedule, browsing the web, asking before anything risky. You keep paying your AI provider for thinking; we never mark up your tokens.
Will an agent do things without asking me?
Actions that need your OK, like running a command, stop and wait for you. You see exactly what the agent wants to do and tap Allow once or Deny. Typing “yes” in the chat doesn’t count.
Do I need anything else installed?
Not for chat, projects, automations or approvals. For browser and computer use, download Ego Lite, a free agent browser from Citro Labs. It’s a separate download with its own terms, not part of ShiftHands, and it’s macOS only for now.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. ShiftHands is a web app, so it works in your phone’s browser: check on agents, read results and tap approvals on the go. At your desk, use the desktop app or any browser.
How do updates work?
Improvements roll out to every workspace automatically. When a new version is ready, the app lets you know and picks it up. Your projects, agents and chats stay private to your workspace.
