# Sidey - Your Intelligent macOS Sidekick

**English** | [简体中文](README_zh.md)

---

**Sidey** is a lightweight, app-aware AI assistant designed specifically for macOS. It opens quickly from the menu bar as a compact popover, handles small tasks in the app you are using, and gets out of your way when you are done.

[![Download on the App Store](https://developer.apple.com/app-store/marketing/guidelines/images/badge-download-on-the-mac-app-store.svg)](https://apps.apple.com/app/sidey/id6760834274)

[![Download Installer](https://img.shields.io/badge/Download-Installer-blue?style=for-the-badge&logo=apple)](https://github.com/chentao1006/Sidey/releases/latest)

Or install via Homebrew:
```sh
brew tap chentao1006/tap
brew install --cask sidey
```

### ✨ Key Features

- **Menu Bar Popover**: Open Sidey from the menu bar for quick questions, rewrites, summaries, or selected-text tasks without switching into a full chat app.
- **Window Companion**: A lightweight, dynamic icon that automatically docks to the edge of your active window. It follows your window as you move or resize it, allowing you to summon the AI assistant with a single click without leaving your workflow.
- **Cursor Popover**: Invoke Sidey from a selected passage or a shortcut and a compact, temporary assistant window opens beside your cursor, ready for a question with the current selection already in context.
- **Context Awareness**: Automatically detects the frontmost application and suggests relevant prompts. Retrieves active window details including application name and bundle identifier.
- **Deep Context Capture**: Supports a multi-tier text retrieval system:
  - **Accessibility Search**: Directly queries the focused window for selected text.
  - **Specialized Plugins**: Deep integration with Safari and Finder via AppleScript.
- **Context Continuity**: Preserves your screen context and attachments when switching between different assistant prompts or applications.
- **App-aware Assistants**: Create and manage different AI personas or tasks for specific apps (e.g., "Code Review" for Xcode, "Summarize" for Safari).
- **Auto Create Assistants**: AI analyzes your active application and automatically designs professional personas with one click.
- **Public AI Service**: Use Sidey instantly with a built-in public AI service — no API key required.
- **Global Hotkey**: Summon your assistant instantly from anywhere with a customizable keyboard shortcut.
- **Markdown Support**: Beautifully rendered AI responses with full Markdown support.
- **iCloud Sync**: Keep your assistants and settings seamlessly synced across your devices via your Apple ID.
- **Optimized UI**: Refined input editor height and "View Full Text" attachment preview for a more efficient workflow.
- **App Switcher**: Quickly switch back to your recently used applications directly from the assistant.
