The Solvshift project was launched in 2012 to develop an ab initio quantum chemistry tool that enables performing fast and accurate computations of the interaction-induced vibrational property fluctuations of a chosen solute’s vibrational degree of freedom. The main motivation for Solvshift was the discrete model of vibrational solvatochromism [3] developed by Minhaeng Cho, which became a starting point of my PhD thesis carried out at Korea University in Seoul, under Professor Cho's supervision. At present, the code allows for the vibrational frequency shift predictions relative to the gas-phase state, in which an IR active spectator is surrounded by the molecular environment. Discrete solvatochromic models [1-5] and its extended versions [6-9] are developed. In particular, Solvshift implements: 

• Weak-Coupling Vibrational Solvatochromism Model for Spatially-Localized Oscillators [1-4]
• Solvatochromic Effective Fragment Potential Method (SolEFP)[6-8]
• SolEFP coupled with molecular dynamics hybrid method [7,8,10,11]
• EFP2/SolEFP Biomolecular Fragmentation Scheme [8,11]
• Solvatochromic Shifts from Supermolecular Energy Decomposition Scheme (SolEDS) [6-9]
• Discrete electrostatic, multipole-based solvatochromic models. Available are SolCAMM [5,8,9] models, their arbitrary contractions and SolMMM [5,8,9] models.
• Kirkwood-Onsager continuum solvatochromic model [5]. This model is highly qualitative and is of predominantly didactic importance.
