Quiet by design
It helps you move,
then gets out of the way.
Side-Pilot is built around the active window. It adds a quick layer of control without asking you to move your work into another dashboard.
Local-first context
- Window context: used to show and switch the windows you already have open.
- Notes: saved as Markdown in the folder you choose.
- Permissions: macOS explains what Side-Pilot needs for window and browser management.
- You stay in control: turn off the features you do not want to use.
Keep your place.
Move faster from there.
