The questions people actually ask
You are in the middle of something with one AI and you want to carry it to another, because that one is better at this part, or you have run out, or you simply prefer it. Normally you re-explain everything and get a worse version of what you already had. Sidq puts the entire conversation into the new one, word for word, from a single keystroke.
Two kinds, and neither asks you to remember anything.
The ones that keep their conversations on your Mac — Claude Code, Cowork, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code — are read with nothing to connect and nothing to set up, including everything you did before you installed Sidq.
The ones that live in a browser — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek — keep nothing readable on your computer. So you use them in your own browser, exactly as you do now, already signed in with your passkeys and password manager working, and Sidq reads them as you go. It never asks you to log in to an AI. For what you said in them before today, each one lets you download your history, and Sidq reads the file.
Nothing is uploaded either way. The reading happens between two programs on your own Mac, on a connection that cannot leave it.
No, and this is the part people expect to be worse than it is. Sidq reads what is already on your Mac, so a conversation from two months ago is there the first time you open it. Nothing has to accumulate.
Because a summary is the thing you lose. It keeps the conclusions and throws away the corrections, the ideas you rejected, the way you actually talk. The next AI reads about your work instead of having been there, and you spend the next twenty minutes fixing its assumptions. Sidq hands over the conversation itself, not a description of it.
No. Your conversations are read from your own disk and go to your own clipboard. Nothing is uploaded and it works with the wifi off. An account is needed to set Sidq up, so your history and subscription follow you to a new machine, but your conversations are never part of it. Sidq does read your transcripts in the background, about every ninety seconds, to keep search working, and it skips any conversation that has not changed since it last looked. That index is a file on your Mac. It is never uploaded, and deleting Sidq deletes it.
Nothing. Sidq does not read your screen, take screenshots, record, or watch which app you have open. It reads the conversation files your AIs already write to your Mac, and only when you pick one. An earlier version watched window titles to notice when you drifted off a task; that went with the rest of the planner.
Standing instructions, and only those. The lines on your "How you work" tab are sentences you have typed to assistants more than once: how you want things done, what stack you are on, the conventions you keep repeating. On Duo those are shared with the people you work with, so every handover any of you makes arrives knowing how the team works and not just how one of you does.
Your conversations are not shared, and will not be. Nothing crosses except one small Markdown file of those rules, which you can open and read in full before anybody else sees it.
It works through a folder you already sync, whether that is iCloud Drive, Dropbox or a git repo. Sidq writes its file there and reads the ones your teammates wrote. It still uploads nothing and still opens no connection, which also means it works between people in different countries rather than two laptops on one wifi.
No, and the honest test is that most of it does not call a model at all. Finding what is worth resuming, reading the transcript and handing it over are file operations on your machine. That is why it is instant, why it costs nothing to run, and why it works offline.
5 handovers a week, and every AI on your Mac read with nothing to connect. Search reaches back 7 days on free and all the way on Pro. Nothing is behind a padlock, you simply run out. Inviting a friend adds 5 more a week to both of you for 7 days, up to 3 friends a week. That is the other way past it.
No. Sidq is a Mac app and only a Mac app, because everything it does depends on being on the machine your conversations are already stored on. A browser tab cannot read them, so shipping one would mean selling a different and much worse product under the same name.
