Big Sur OS update seems to have broken functionality

Even after ensuring the security and privacy settings allow Shiftit to control, the application cannot start (after Big Sur OSX update)

+1 this tool is instrumental for my productivity on Mac :/
The alternative, using Hammerspoon, works on Sur: https://github.com/fikovnik/ShiftIt/wiki/The-Hammerspoon-Alternative
BigSur broke a lot of apps. Just uninstall and install it again, it worked for me. BigSur 11.0.1.

Kinda worked - had to delete the app and reinstall - then had to uncheck and check ShiftIt from the startup applications list. Only after that did the "Recheck" button work for me.
Deleted and installed again, did not work for me.

Reinstalling SHIFIT (I'm on MacbookPro BigSur 11.0.1) worked, but the catch is in system accessibility you have to remove (minus sign) the access, and then manually re-add shiftit access (plus sign) and make sure it's checked in the system preferences.
I actually didn't have to reinstall the app, just remove it (minus sign) from Security & Privacy -> Accessibility, and then re-add it manually (plus sign).
I've just upgraded from 10.15 to 11.1, then ShiftIt prompt me to enable Accessibility for it even through it was enabled already.
I end up remove the checkbox beside it, close/open the preference and enable the checkbox. Now it is working fine.
Delete and install it again. Remove this option and add it again. Then recheck，it's works for me.
Just hitting the minus on ShiftIt and re-adding it in the accessibility did the trick for me. No re-installing.
Big Sur prevents running unsigned apps outside of App Store. This helped to resolve:

Just confirming that this worked for me and should be all you need to do. No need to delete/reinstall, only remove (-) it from the list and + it back in.
Is this a bug in ShiftIt, or a bug in macOS? Given that the checkbox in accessibility permissions doesn't work like a checkbox should.
same here. newest patch release of MacOs, current version of ShiftIt
not working with a running MS TEAMS meeting! what the side-effect-heck!?
On Big Sur it wasn't detecting the shortcut keys when it was set to CTRL+OPT+CMD. So I re-inputted the shortcuts in Shiftit to SHIFT+CTRL+CMD + hotkey and it seems to be working for me now. Hopefully this helps.
I don't have any suggestions for fixing an issue, but I can report that ShiftIt continues to work on macOS Monterey 12.2.1
