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.
am seeing what is on screen without uploading files is definitely how all desktop ai tools should work.
@alira_salu That was a big reason we built Sider Omni. It stays with the app you’re using, understands what’s in the window when you need help, and can get the task done without making you upload files or copy and paste everything first.

@alira_salu Yes, you can give it a try.
One of my friend was showing me a similar screen agent last week and honestly not having to copy paste stuff into chatgpt saves so much time.

@evelyn_swaim Thank you, Evelyn, it's worthy to try.
@evelyn_swaim Yeah, the copy-paste loop gets old fast. Sider Omni stays beside the app you’re using, understands the current window when you need help, and works on the task right there.

I am just downloaded it to test with VS Code! curious to see how well it picks up code context without manual prompts.
@adams_parker Awesome—would love to hear how it goes! When you start a task in VS Code, Sider Omni can understand the code context in the current window without making you copy it into the chat first.

@adams_parker Thank you, Adams, I would really appreciate it if you could share your feedback with me.
This could be nice for people who are constantly switching between docs spreadsheets and other apps.
@bouzadamanuel0934 Exactly! Sider Omni follows the window you’re working in, so help is always right there across docs, spreadsheets, and other apps.
Sider Omni Sidebar
@bouzadamanuel0934 Absolutely! It's worth giving a try!
This feels like what the Mac sidebar should have been from the start Very clean execution.
@austinphillips That’s a huge compliment—thank you! We want Sider Omni to feel like a natural part of the Mac, always there when you need it.

@austinphillips Thanks a lot, Austin, feel free to give it a try.

Hey everyone 👋
Omni Sidebar docks to whatever window you're in — Word, Excel, Keynote, Notion, Obsidian, Safari, Mail, PDFs — and follows it when you move, resize, or go fullscreen. No copy-paste, no plugins, no switching apps to ask a question.
Each window gets its own thread, so context stays clean. Pick your own model. And it only reads a window when a task actually needs it — permissions are separate and revocable, and everything runs through a local agent on your Mac.
Mac only for now, and still early. Give it a spin and tell us what breaks — every bit of feedback shapes what ships next.
Would love your support and your upvote today 🙌
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.
