Questions, answered.

sidelet puts everyday Mac tools in one app that lives in your menu bar: keeping your Mac awake, battery and system stats, window management, clipboard history, screenshots and recordings, text recognition, sound and display controls, file tools and automation. You switch on only the modules you use.

sidelet runs on macOS 14 Sonoma or later, on Apple silicon and Intel Macs. Some tools depend on your hardware, like battery charging limits, fan control and certain sensors, so they only appear where your Mac supports them.

No. Turn on the modules you want and leave the rest off. sidelet only asks for the permissions that the modules you enable actually need.

Some tools need a macOS permission, for example Accessibility to move and resize windows, or Screen Recording to capture your screen. sidelet asks when you turn on a module that needs one and tells you when something is missing.
