Hey Product Hunt! I'm Dmitry, CEO and founder of Sidekick, the first productivity browser for online professionals. We are here again as our mission is far from being over. Most literally, we still have to fight for your attention. Our previous launch on Product Hunt was all about effectiveness and features for productive online work. This month’s big update is already making headlines and it’s about something that's increasingly hard to achieve online. Concentration. Cold fact: Mainstream browsers make money by getting a revenue share from search engines like Bing or Google. As a result, they make money every time they get to distract you from work and send you towards a search and browsing binge. Browsers were built for browsing and monetizing your attention, not for work. That's why we had to reinvent them. At first, we focused on UI and productivity and created our signature features Sidebar, Global Search, and Sessions. The in-built adblock and a streamlined engine made Sidekick one of the fastest browsers on the planet, but that was not enough. So we launched Workspaces, Sync, Multi-Accounts, and other great features. The feedback we were receiving was very encouraging. People lauded Sidekick for its powerful tools and speed. We've also got many emails from users with ADHD, attention deficit disorder, a condition that hinders concentration. They praised Sidekick for helping them get their lives back. This is when I realized that accidentally we created a solution for a condition I've been struggling with since high school. Today, about 500 million people suffer from ADHD globally. They know a lot about attention deficit and the everyday pain it causes. Obviously, focus-honed solutions for them would benefit one and all, as distractions on the Internet are a universal problem. Safeguarding your focus is our company mission. That's why we conducted extensive ADHD-user research and defined key areas where assistive tech could play a critical role in protecting our attention. After that, there was only one thing left to do: integrate the right tools to rebuke digital distractions. Today, we are proud to share them with you. 1. No ads within your eyesight is key to productive online work and coping with ADHD. In-built Adblock 2.0 solves this problem so easily that you don't really need a Premium subscription to watch Youtube ad-free. 2. Youtube, by the way, is a distraction too. Keeping media and social platforms aside during your workday is a must. Distraction blocker helps create this healthy habit by redirecting you back to your task lists or inbox. 3. If that's still not enough, mute all notifications and run the Full-Screen focus mode which hides tabs and layout elements and helps you focus on the important. Enter the zero-distraction zone. 4. Focusing is one thing, and recalling is another. People tend to forget things. Our user-friendly Task manager is built to alleviate anxiety around your daily goals. Now you can pin a task to your desktop as a sticky note and run a Pomodoro timer to manage your work/rest cycles more effectively. 5. Organizing your workplace properly is now much easier with Collections, a powerful tool for documents and bookmarks. Use them to create a knowledge base that's always with you. Share it with friends and colleagues. Other novelties include not-so-visible but really cool upgrades in the UX, Split-View and other layout elements. Altogether, Sidekick-2023 is a browser that protects your attention and keeps your mind sharp, a lifeline for digital professionals and neurodiverse users with ADHD and other focus-related issues. It's now sleeker, faster, and smarter, with AI integration in full swing. By the way, today we use artificial intelligence to enhance our AdBlock, tab suspender, and Global search. Our next big update will give AI a much bigger role. Please send your feedback and stay tuned. Thanks, @chrismessina for your invaluable support.

Goog luck, Dima!

Congrats with the launch! I've been using Sidekick for half a year and have to say that Sidebar and Sessions are really great 🤘. Keep going!

I've been using sidekick for the past two years, and it still my default browser. Love it!

I am absolutely in love with this browser! From the moment I started using it a couple of years ago, I could tell that it was something special. And now, with all the new features, it's even better than ever! Kudos to the team for creating such an amazing product!

Where have you been all my life, Sidekick 3.0?

Using the pro version for last 6 months and not going back.

Sounds great, but why are there notification badges in the product demo video? This is the first thing I turn off…

🚀🎉 Wow, where do I even begin? I've been using Sidekick as my go-to web browser for the past six months, and I must say, it has been an absolute game-changer for me. The apps sidebar is incredibly addictive and has streamlined my entire browsing experience. I can't imagine going back to a traditional browser now! The overall experience is just so seamless and intuitive that it feels like Sidekick was tailor-made for my browsing habits. Dmitry, congratulations on this fantastic launch! 🥳 You and your team have truly outdone yourselves with Sidekick, and I'm beyond excited to see what's next on the horizon for this revolutionary browser. Keep up the great work! 👏💯

I've tried them ALL, and this is by far the absolute best browser (I go back to the original Mosaic and the first Netscape browsers.) I have WAY TOO MANY tabs open at all times and it DOESN'T MATTER with Sidekick. And I love the sessions, finally I can categorize items and not have to worry about losing them. Thank you!

good luck with the launch!

I love this new release! Great work as usual. Good luck, team

I'm a front end web developer and designer and I live in the browser 8 to 10 hours/day working on multiple ongoing projects and clients. Sidekick has changed everything: I work faster and cleaner, my flow is flawless and a joy to move through, I can jump between clients and projects without missing one single beat, and it works beautifully—I kind of can't believe how great this is. The experience moving from Google Chrome's super glitchy saved tab groups beta to this is like going from driving a 1974 Pinto to a rocket ship (that actually works). My productivity has skyrocketed since switching over and getting it setup exactly as I need it (that was easy, too). T H A N K Y O U.

Congrats and wish you great success in the future! Any hints of a potential LTD @dmitry_pushkarev ?

I couldn't recommend to try it more🔥🔥🔥

Will give it a try

Great hunt - I took a look and am going to try it out for work, really seems like a good one :) Good luck!

Congrats on the launch, I will give it a try. How about the extension? Does it support Chrome/Firefox extensions?

Such a great browser. It does exactly what I need it to -- organizes, reminds me what I'm doing, and keeps things I'm not using out of the way.

Sidekick is by far the best browser out there! And with every release, it keeps getting back! I like the Distraction blocker a lot! Keep on innovating, guys!
