Sider Omni Sidebar - Give every Mac app an Agent Sidebar
by•
An AI agent beside any Mac app. Sider Omni sidebar sees what's on your screen and acts on it directly, right where you're working. Watch the result, ask for the next change. Nothing to copy, nothing to upload.
Built on GPT-6 Astra, and it can run on your existing ChatGPT or Codex credits.

Does it automatically choose between ChatGPT and Codex depending on the task?
@noahanderson Sider Omni offers two model service sources: Sider and your connected ChatGPT/Codex account. You choose which one to use, and Sider Omni won’t automatically switch to the other based on the task.

Really nice. Is it safe to use :)
Also, do i need a local LLM to run this?
@chilarai Safety is a big priority for us. Sider Omni only reads the screen context needed for a task you start, and the default Ask for approval mode asks for confirmation before important actions. You don’t need a local LLM—you can use Sider’s model service or connect your own ChatGPT/Codex account.
Having the agent right beside the app feels much more natural than constantly switching between tabs. I can see this being useful for everyday Mac work.
@awesome_america Thank you! That’s exactly why we built Sider Omni—to keep AI beside the app you’re using, reduce context switching, and fit naturally into everyday Mac work.

@awesome_america Yes, definitely give it a try, and feel free to reach out to me with any feedback.
The sidebar concept is simple but practical. Having help available without leaving the app could make a big difference repetitive work.
@desire_waterman That’s exactly what we wanted to solve! Sider Omni stays beside the app you’re using, cutting down on app switching and copy-pasting to make everyday repetitive work a lot easier.
