About

Sidekick pairs an Android phone with a Mac so users can access selected phone functions from the desktop. The companion apps connect directly over the same local Wi-Fi network after a one-time QR-code pairing. The connection uses TLS 1.3 with certificate pinning and operates without a cloud relay or account. Sidekick can show the phone's screen in a Mac window, display notifications and allow replies when the Android app supports them, transfer photos and files in either direction, and share clipboard contents. It also provides caller alerts and Mac-initiated dialing while call audio remains on the phone, plus media playback controls. Users can send replies to supported message notifications from the Mac. Screen sharing requires approval on the Android device for each session. The software is for Macs with Apple silicon running macOS 11 or later and Android 10 or later. Sidekick is currently an invitation-only beta.

About

The best remote pair programming app on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Because we programmers deserve better than a generic screen sharing tool. Once upon a time, there was an amazing pairing app called Screenhero. Sadly, they decided to sell to Slack, who tried to integrate them, failed, and eventually shut them down. In the following years, we made do with generic screensharing tools. It's not terrible pairing over Zoom, but it was clearly built for business types. They even call it a “meeting” in their UI. And Slack Huddles is fine, but not having remote control is a deal-breaker. Have you ever tried to dictate some code for your pair to write? Or narrated a set of Vim commands? Not fun.
