1

Capture

Live meeting transcription, document uploads, web scraping. Everything gets indexed locally with hybrid vector + full-text search powered by your GPU.

2

Process

Content-aware chunking preserves context. Local embeddings (Qwen3:0.6b or Ollama) create semantic vectors. Graph RAG tracks entity relationships. All on your device.

3

Query

Ask questions in natural language. Agentic RAG retrieves relevant context. Get answers with source citations. Switch between local and cloud models anytime.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Sidekick ensure my data never leaves my device?
Sidekick runs 100% locally on your Mac using open-source LLMs via Ollama (Llama, Mistral, etc.). All embeddings, indexing, and AI processing happen on your device. There are zero network calls to external services unless you explicitly choose to use a cloud model (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini) for a specific conversation.
What are the system requirements?
Sidekick runs on macOS 12.0+ (Monterey or newer). For optimal performance with local models, we recommend 16GB+ RAM and Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) or a dedicated GPU. The app works with Intel Macs but local AI will be slower.
Can I use cloud models like ChatGPT or Claude?
Yes! Sidekick supports multi-provider switching. You can use local models (Ollama) for sensitive data and cloud models (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini) when you need more power or are working with non-confidential information. Switch per conversation.
How is this different from ChatGPT or Claude?
ChatGPT and Claude upload your data to cloud servers. Sidekick keeps everything local. Plus, Sidekick includes meeting transcription, document indexing, web capture, and workspace isolation—features designed for knowledge workers, not just chat.
What's included in the beta?
Beta users get all features: live meeting transcription, document library, web/email capture, RAG-powered chat, multi-model support, and lifetime updates. Beta is free forever. After beta, the app will be $23 one-time (excluding taxes).
Is there a Windows or Linux version?
Currently macOS only. Windows and Linux support are on the roadmap pending user demand. Join the beta to stay updated on future platform releases.
