Give every Mac app an Agent Sidebar
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.
Sider Omni Sidebar integrates an AI agent into any Mac application, allowing users to interact with on-screen content directly. It operates on GPT-6 Astra and utilizes existing ChatGPT or Codex credits without the need for copying or uploading data.
A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
Overall, commenters express excitement about the productivity benefits while raising privacy and functionality questions.
Hi! We're the team behind Sider Omni. 👋 We built Sider Omni so your agent can join the work you're already doing, with the context to understand it and the ability to act on it. With a table open in Numbers, ask: “Create a bar chart of sales by region from this table.” 📊 Sider Omni reads the table already on screen and builds the chart in Numbers. As you inspect it, keep refining: “Now show return rates by region in a separate chart.” 🔁 You can see the source data and each change in the same workspace, then ask for the next step without exporting data or starting over. You can also choose from supported models, including GPT-6 Astra, and pick a companion icon that follows you across your apps. ✨ We'd love to hear what you'd use Sider Omni for. 💬
I'd be a bit curious about the privacy side of this. What can it actually see?
Using existing ChatGPT or Codex credits is pretty interesting. How does that work?
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.
