Sidekick
Sidekick is a Chromium-based desktop web browser built for work, with tools to organize web apps, tabs, and multiple account-based workflows.
What is Sidekick?
Sidekick is a desktop web browser for work-focused browsing and web app organization. It is designed for people who spend much of their day in online tools such as email, chat, documents, project boards, and other browser-based services. Sidekick helps users keep those services accessible from a dedicated sidebar while managing tabs and sessions in a more structured way than a standard browser window. It also supports separate work contexts, which can be useful for switching between accounts or different projects. On macOS, users typically install it as a standalone browser app and use it as an alternative to Chrome or another Chromium-based browser for everyday productivity workflows. PushPlayLabs Inc publishes Sidekick.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Sidekick is a legitimate desktop browser, but it handles the same kinds of sensitive information as any browser, including websites, logins, cookies, and browsing activity inside the app. Access to saved accounts, notifications, downloads, and default-browser settings is normal for this type of software. If you use it, review any extensions you install, sign in only to accounts you trust it with, and check its privacy settings the same way you would with any other browser.
Recommendation: Keep Sidekick if you actively use it for work or web app organization. Remove it if you no longer use it or prefer another browser, keeping in mind that uninstalling it can remove its saved local browser data unless you back that up first.
