Hello Lasse,

I have looked around the internet, and it seems that you’ll need a bit of a mix between hardware and software.

Probably, the most straightforward guide is this one: Adding Power Switch on Raspberry Pi

Followed by this other one: Raspberry Pi Safe Reboot and Shutdown Button - SparkFun Learn

Other resources can be found here too:

As a reminder, some of those guides indicate pins on the Pi board that are actually occupied (our GPIO reference can be found here) by our Shake hat board. You’ll have to see if you can adapt what the guides describe to our Shake pin configuration.

Hope this can be of help!
