About

Free beta. Sidekick connects an Android phone to an Apple-silicon Mac directly over your own Wi-Fi or the phone's hotspot. Mirror and control the phone's screen, see notifications and reply where the app allows, send SMS from your number, browse photos, send files, and answer or decline calls (audio stays on the phone). Pair with a QR code; no cloud server. Sign up with your email to get the Mac download and a beta token. macOS 11+ on M1 or later, Android 10+.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
