A productivity browser for becoming focused and unstoppableHey Product Hunt! We are back with something genuinely forward-looking. I'm Dmitry, the CEO, and co-founder of Sidekick, the first productivity browser for knowledge workers. We launched on Product Hunt a while ago, but since then, our browser has evolved beyond recognition, so we want to introduce it again. And before you meet the new Sidekick, I want to tell you my story.

A few years ago, I was working at top tech firms and used to spend most of my time online. More often than not, I felt tired and overwhelmed by the end of the day, a far cry from the vigor I needed as an executive.

Later, I realized that my exhaustion was not a question of personal endurance. My everyday tool, the browser, just couldn't keep up with the changing nature of work. It lacked the UX for focused work because a browser was designed for, well, browsing by default.

I got a feeling that all the browsers I have used contributed tangibly to my distraction and fatigue.

We started up Sidekick to fix that.

Our product vision at the very beginning was a lightning-fast browser for professionals who demand a smooth browsing experience. We were working hard to combine speed, privacy, and a streamlined UX that accelerates our users’ workflow. Early in the game, features like Sidebar, Sessions, and Global Search were developed to make your life easier. Eventually, Sidekick became one of the fastest and most ergonomic browsers on the market.

But now it's more than that.

Our users provided us with massive feedback, which led to a breakthrough. While most users gave credit to our browser, a noticeable group of people lauded Sidekick as the only browser that fits their special traits. These were the people with ADHD, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, a condition that hinders concentration.

We started exploring the topic and learned that 35% of Americans between the ages of 17 and 30 abuse ADHD medications to tackle distraction problems and sharpen their focus. Suddenly, regaining focus for our users became our North Star. As Sidekick helps people with concentration disorders, we believe it will also benefit others who live in a world where attention is the most valuable currency.

Our mission as a company now is to safeguard your focus and make you highly productive and resilient. We envision Sidekick as a productivity browser that saves time and energy by the end of the workday, a tool that keeps your mind sharp and gets your job done against all odds.

And today, we are excited to introduce a slew of novel features for effective online work:

1. Workplaces separate your life and work, apps and sessions, extensions and documents. 2. Focus Mode mutes notifications with a click and lets everyone know you are in do not disturb mode. 3. Multi-accounts help you jump between different accounts in Gmail, Slack, Notion, and messengers without logging out. 4. Synchronization keeps your work in sync across multiple devices. 5. Split-View bisects the window for simultaneous editing and instant replies. 6. Join Quick Call integrates with your calendar for one-click conference alerts. 7. Extensions and apps in Sidekick perfectly complement each other. Grammarly now works in Notion and Slack!

On top of that is Sidekick's AI that blocks ads and trackers by the thousands.

All combined, Sidekick-2022 is a productivity browser that helps you become focused and unstoppable. And we're not stopping here either. Your feedback is of utmost importance to us. Please, help us improve our browser. We promise: our browser will help improve your productivity.

Thanks, @chrismessina for hunting us, your support along the way is invaluable.
