Product Details

What is Sidekick?

Because employees at work spend most of their time working in web applications, Sidekick aims to reimagine the browser UX around apps, in order to create a better way to work in the most productive applications on the web.

Sidekick makes all needed apps available in the sidebar, and also provides single sign-on capabilities, giving users access to all needed apps simultaneously. Sidekick also collects notifications and message from apps and makes these accessible as well. Alerts can be customized, or muted. Additionally, Sidekick offers a unifying search bar that tracks activity in all associated apps and browser history.

tabs organized with sessions

While working, tabs can multiply out of control. Sidekick helps users manage them with sessions, and with less effort.
  • Keep tabs together - Sidekick groups your tabs into a session. Create multiple sessions and organize them around a workflow.
  • Manage tabs with reduced effort - Access sessions from Sidekick’s sidecar. From there they can be opened, pinned, organized, or moved.
  • Switch between sessions - All sessions are automatically saved. It is possible to show only the tabs needed, while switching between sessions with a single click.

As a browser, Sidekick also blocks data-grabbing ads and trackers, even the ones that "respect privacy.” Also, the vendor states Sidekick never sells access to data. That includes searches, browsing history, and personal information.

Sidekick is available on a perpetually free plan, or via commercial plans with expanded feature sets.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I currently use this browser to run my day. It has all of my plugins, browser tabs, and applications right in easy-to-configure screens. We are an SEO and digital marketing agency and use tons of applications. This makes it easy to switch between applications in one browser. I now can't live without this app!
Pros and Cons
  • Makes it easy to find and hide applications
  • Makes it easy to focus on productive work
  • It is easy to configure
  • It has tons of features to make online work productive
Likelihood to Recommend
If you are a professional agency that requires access to a ton of Saas applications like email, accounting, CRM, websites, etc, then this browser (Sidekick) application is the ticket for you. If you like a ton of features for free, this is not for you. I feel It is breaking my bank account. :(
Most Important Features
  • We love the applications tab
  • I use the sessions features
  • The focus button when doing important work
Return on Investment
  • Work productivity has increased by at least 10%
  • Enjoyment of working with a ton of applications has increased
  • There is no longer fear or losing valuable and important work
Alternatives Considered
When comparing these two, Sidekick was way easier to use and configure. I got confused immediately when trying to set up workspaces in VIVALDI. Sidekick reminded me of ClickUp and was set up within the hour.
