About ContextShift

Last updated: 2026-08-06

What ContextShift is, who it is for, and how we build it.

What we build

ContextShift is a Windows desktop app that captures and restores full workspaces: apps, multi-monitor layouts, browser tabs (with the optional extension), and terminals.

It is built for people who juggle several projects on one machine and want a reliable checkpoint instead of rebuilding setups by hand.

Local-first by design

Contexts are stored on your PC under %APPDATA%\ContextShift. There is no required cloud account, no analytics pipeline, and no remote sync of your workspace data.

The same Rust engine powers the desktop app, system tray, and on-screen overlay.

Trial and licensing

You get a 14-day free trial with full features. After the trial, one chosen context remains fully restorable and manual management stays available; unlimited switching and autosave require a license.

Licenses are activated in the app (for example via Lemon Squeezy). Purchase and billing details depend on the storefront you use at checkout.

Contact

For product questions, support, or licensing, use the contact channel listed on your purchase receipt or the project site where you downloaded ContextShift.
