About Sidekick™ Agent

Sidekick Agent is an AI agent for macOS that lets you issue commands in natural language and perform tasks across apps, files, and the system. Press Option and Space together to open the window, then enter a request or click a common task it already recognizes. It can organize files by project and date; an official example archives 200 files in seconds. It can also identify caches, duplicate photos, old installers, and uninstallation remnants, deleting them only after confirmation. The agent acts only when the user makes a request; sensitive actions are reviewed first, and safe fields remain untouchable. The app itself is permanently free at $0, and each download includes $0.50 in credit that can be topped up with $5 whenever it runs out. There is no subscription or per-seat billing, and no card is required to get started.
