About Sidekick
Sidekick pairs an Android phone with a Mac so users can access selected phone functions from the desktop. The companion apps connect directly over the same local Wi-Fi network after a one-time QR-code pairing. The connection uses TLS 1.3 with certificate pinning and operates without a cloud relay or account. Sidekick can show the phone's screen in a Mac window, display notifications and allow replies when the Android app supports them, transfer photos and files in either direction, and share clipboard contents. It also provides caller alerts and Mac-initiated dialing while call audio remains on the phone, plus media playback controls. Users can send replies to supported message notifications from the Mac. Screen sharing requires approval on the Android device for each session. The software is for Macs with Apple silicon running macOS 11 or later and Android 10 or later. Sidekick is currently an invitation-only beta.
