Two cursors. One desk. No collisions.

You stay in your meeting. Your agent pulls this week's orders into a spreadsheet and charts them. Neither of you waits.

Cursors that explain themselves

Coming soon

An agent can point at something and leave a note right next to its cursor. It walks you through an app step by step, and when it isn't sure, it asks and waits for your answer.

Your agents, your way

Coming soon

Give every agent its own name, cursor and colour, and tie it to one AI. An agent only takes orders from the AI it belongs to, so two agents never cross wires.

Parked

Minimize me. We'll park next to the Sidehand icon.

Try it. Change an agent, then minimize the window and watch where the cursors go.

Always the gentlest way in

For every action, Sidehand picks the way that disturbs you least, and checks that the action really happened before the agent moves on.

  1. Through the app's own controls

    Presses buttons and sets text through the same interface screen readers use. No pointer at all.

    Your mouse and keyboard: untouched

  2. Straight to one app

    Clicks and keys go only to the agent's app, never through your mouse or keyboard.

    Your mouse and keyboard: untouched

  3. Borrowed for a blink

    For canvases and games only. Waits until you've stopped for 0.4 s, borrows the pointer for a few milliseconds and puts it back.

    Your mouse: back where you left it

Hand off the clicking. Keep the thinking.

If you can do it with a mouse and keyboard, your agent can do it in its own window while you get on with the work only you can do.

Set up in two minutes

Sidehand plugs into the AI app you already use through MCP, the open standard for giving AI assistants tools.

  1. Install Sidehand

    A small installer for Windows 10 and 11, or a Mac app for macOS 13 and later. No admin rights needed on Windows.

  2. Connect your AI app

    One short command adds Sidehand to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Windsurf. Restart the app and you're done.

  3. Ask for something

    "Open the expense form and file my train ticket." The agent's cursor appears and gets to work. You keep yours.

It won't touch your work without asking

These rules are enforced by Sidehand itself, so they hold whatever the model decides.

  • Read-only in your windowsAn agent attached to a window that already holds your documents can look, but not click or type, until you say yes.
  • No overwritingIt refuses to replace text it didn't write itself.
  • Locked to its own appAn agent working in your expense tool can't type into your email.
  • One key stops everythingCtrl Alt F12 on Windows, ⌃ ⌥ ⌘ P on Mac. Every agent pauses before its next move.
  • Your work stays on your computerNo cloud, no telemetry. Only your license is checked with our server, and the daily update check only downloads.
Your AI app

Put the final numbers into the Summary box of the Q3 report.

Agent

Sidehand stopped me: the Summary box already holds 412 characters you wrote, starting "Draft, please keep my wording on…".

Should I replace your text, or add the numbers below it?

Add them below, keep my wording.

Agent

Done. Your draft is untouched and the numbers are underneath.

Bring your own AI. Sidehand is a tool for your AI agents, not an AI itself: it gives the agents in your own AI app a cursor and keyboard. You connect your own AI app or provider, for example Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Windsurf; its subscription or usage costs are separate and not included.

Prices in euros, VAT included. Sidehand is a digital download: you can cancel for a full refund until you start the download, and after that the sale is final (terms of sale).

Questions

Does the agent take over my mouse?

Almost never. Most actions go through the accessibility API or straight to the agent's app, so your pointer doesn't move. Only canvases and games need the real pointer, and then Sidehand waits until you've paused for 0.4 s, borrows it for a few milliseconds and puts it back exactly where it was.

Do I need my own AI subscription?

Yes. Sidehand is the hands, not the brain: it gives the agents in your AI app their own cursor and keyboard. You connect your own AI app, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Windsurf, with the AI provider and plan you choose. Those costs are separate and not included in Sidehand.

Which AI models can use it?

Any model in an app that supports MCP: Claude in Claude Desktop or Claude Code, the models in Cursor, VS Code agent mode and Windsurf, or your own agent built with an MCP client library.

Can several agents work at once?

Yes: Solo runs 1 agent at a time, Crew up to 3, and Fleet up to 5 on each of its 3 computers. Each agent gets its own colour and name tag and is locked to its own app, so agents can't get in each other's way. Agents you've set up beyond your plan wait parked until one is free.

What do I need on a Mac?

macOS 13 Ventura or later. The first time, macOS asks you to allow your AI app under Privacy & Security: Accessibility so agents can use controls, and Screen Recording if you want them to take screenshots.

Does anything get uploaded?

Never your screen, your typing or your files. Sidehand only checks your license with our server (your license and a scrambled computer ID) and looks for updates. Your AI app sends what the agent sees to its model, the same as any other tool it uses.

What if it doesn't work for my apps?

Most desktop apps on Windows and Mac work, including older business software. Programs running as administrator on Windows can't be controlled from a normal account. Not sure about yours? Ask us before you buy and we'll tell you honestly. If Sidehand doesn't work as described on a computer that meets the requirements and we can't fix it, you get your money back.

Can I get a refund?

Until you start the download, yes: cancel within 14 days for a full refund. Sidehand is a digital download, so once the download starts the sale is final; you agree to this at checkout. Your legal rights if Sidehand doesn't work as described always apply. See the terms of sale.

Windows or Mac: which do I get?

Solo and Crew are for one computer: you choose Windows or Mac when you buy, and your order includes that platform's download. Have a Windows PC and a Mac? Fleet covers 3 computers, Windows and Mac in any mix, and includes every download. Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit); macOS 13 Ventura or later, Apple silicon and Intel.

Can I upgrade later?

Yes. Move from Solo to Crew or Fleet, or from Crew to Fleet, in your account at any time and pay only the difference.

How do I download Sidehand after buying?

Right after payment, your order page shows the download button, and your confirmation email links to the same page. Your license is in your account: after installing, Sidehand opens your browser once so you can sign in and connect the computer. Lost the email? Contact us and we'll send it again.

Is it a subscription?

No. You pay once and keep the version you bought for good. Every plan includes a year of updates.

Can I use it for client work?

Yes, on every plan.
