Every edge of your Mac,
finally useful.

Docks that open with a hover. A notch that knows what’s next. And Pip, a small companion who gets things done.

Notch opens on

Dock

No clicks. Just hover.

Push the pointer against an edge and its dock slides out, without opening a thing. Eight places, the four edges, the corners and the notch, so no side of your screen goes to waste.

    All in one

    Apps, folders and widgets, together.

    One dock holds whatever you reach for: the apps you use, groups of them, folders, and live widgets.

    Apps and groups

    Drop one app on another to make a group. It opens beside the dock, ready to launch.

    Folders as a stack

    Downloads, Documents, any folder. Open it from the edge and drag a file straight out.

    Widgets

    Every widget opens a card.

    The tile is the glance. Click it for the whole story, with the buttons you’d reach for next.

    More than fifty widgets, all included.

    Each comes in several sizes and styles. Put them on any edge, under the notch, or both. Point at one to see what it does.

    Notch

    What’s next. What’s playing. What’s happening.

    The notch shows what you’d otherwise go looking for, then gets out of the way.

      Coding agents

      Click the bar. The whole session opens.

      Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Antigravity and Hermes. What it’s doing, what it changed and which checks passed, without leaving what you’re doing.

      Home

      Hover the notch for everything else.

      It opens into Home: what’s playing, what’s next, the weather and Pip. One tab over, a tray for your files.

      Pip

      Meet your companion.

      Pip lives in your notch. It tells you about your next meeting before it starts, a Mac running hot, a break you’ve earned, and keeps quiet during calls. Poke it. Maybe don’t shake it.

      Notices

      It speaks up when it matters.

      Your morning, the next meeting, a Mac working hard, a battery running low. Pip comes down from the notch with what you need to know, then gets out of the way.

      Reply

      Talk back, right there.

      Click a notice and it turns into a chat with Pip, in the notch where it appeared. Move the meeting, ask for more, set a reminder, then get back to work.

      Hand it over

      Messages in. Replies out.

      A message, an email or a missed call shows up in the notch. Tell Pip what to say and it comes back as a card. Fix a word if you like, then Send.

      Your AI, already signed in

      Questions, answered.

      See all questions

      Is it really a one-time payment?

      Yes. Pay once and it’s yours, with every update to your version. No subscription, no account, and no “your plan renews tomorrow” emails, ever.

      Do I need an AI subscription for Pip?

      No new one. Pip uses the account you already have with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Google, and nothing needs setting up. Or Hermes, running on your own Mac.

      Does my data leave my Mac?

      Only when you ask Pip something: then what it needs for the answer goes to the AI you chose, with your own account. Nothing goes to a SideDock server.

      My Mac has no notch. Does it still work?

      Yes. It runs on any Mac with Apple silicon and macOS 14 or later; without a notch, the top of the screen gets a notch-style bar instead. The docks work on every edge either way.

      How many Macs can I use it on?

      One, three or five, depending on the plan you choose. Moving to a new Mac? Deactivate the old one, or ask on the Recover license page and we’ll free up the slot.

      Can I try it first?

      Please do: 7 days free, everything unlocked, no card, no account. Bought it and changed your mind? Ask within 14 days for a full refund, no hard feelings. The Refund policy has the details.
