What it does

Side puts a multi-model AI chat panel beside your Mac

Your favorite models. One quiet corner. A chat panel beside your Dock, ready when you are. For the question in the middle of a thought. The sentence that needs another pass. The idea you want to talk through. Side keeps a conversation close to the work you're already doing. Show or hide Side with Command + Shift + Space. A compact panel sits beside a bottom Dock; expand it when you need room. Connect a supported provider and choose a model. Switch models in the same conversation without finding another app. See responses as they arrive. Stop a reply whenever you want. A focused space for questions, drafts, and fresh perspectives. Here's a taste of the Side experience. Pick a prompt and take…from side.qyinm.xyz
