Sidekick Browser

This app is too expensive for the value received. Shift and WebCatlog is better alternatives when it comes to the value.

Sidekick has a great browser they've put together. My journey began with Chrome Canary then Franz then Station (RIP). Eventually, I was glad to find and stick with Sidekick as my daily driver. It is the browser I switched to and have advocated for time and time again (I put a link to it in our onboarding manual for my firm). What I appreciate is how it saves me installing 5-10 different Chrome extensions because they're natively baked into the browser (tab management, RAM management, and general organisation). It also assists greatly with its keyboard shortcuts, ad blocker, and distraction blocker. I recommend it.

I am the President of a an amazing Digital Agency and I could not survive without the amazing browser. I have tried so many, and this one was super great to organize and make it easy to focus. Love it and highly recommend it. I am a PAID subscriber and will gladly keep paying for these amazing upgrades!

It has great chance of replacing or complementing my current default browser. But unfortunately I think the referral invite system for free pro version is seriously flawed. When I shared the link and people signed up but was not recorded at all. I brought this up in the Discord support group but was not resolved. At first support pointed me to an article link about making sure people are not signing using same IP or same device. After i pointed out that it cannot be so because I sent to my social media groups. Then next suggestion is to ask those whom I sent the invitation link to TEST my referral code in their browser. But I don't know who have signed up. Another user also had the same problem but was asked instead for emails of those who signed up for cross checking. How ridiculous! Thats close to violating privacy. Please make the referral process smooth like how giveaways contests are done.

Paywalling basic features like allowing side to side browsing is atrocious. Could be a great application and browser, but unfortunately greed is the name of the game here. It could be the killer app with all the new ones gaining steam like Arc and Sigma, but if it's going to continue to gatekeep basic features, it will fail.

Having used it as a Pro user for more than 1.5 years, I have decided to cancel my subscription for the following reasons - 1. Lack of proper support 2. Constant regression 3. Lack of communication 4. Asking users to manually download the upgrades 5. Updating statuses without user consent 6. Multiple issues with url redirections 7. Broken apps with multiple user accounts(eg: gmail with personal and corporate accounts) 8. Tabs and groups getting disorganised when switching from one session to the other With that being said, I've really enjoyed the following features which have improved my productivity - 1. Ability to convert commonly used URLs to apps 2. Sessions have been amazing 3. Option + F to search is a lifesaver Downgrading my rating to 1 star after they converted my yearly Pro subscription to a monthly subscription without my consent and decided to charge 15$ per month compared to 49$ per annum. Quite predatory and unjustifiable.

Why is it a pkg download instead of a dmg with just the app inside it?

too expensive for basic features, switching to brave

usefull and nice but very invasive -> it changed my gmail signature, created a status on discord and maybe a lot of other things in the background. Not nice. Sorry but it kind of shattered my confidence in the tool

It's now my absolute favorite browser. I love it because I can work much more proactively and manage my tasks directly. The design is also just perfect, including the focus mode, I don't even have the temptation to do anything else.
