Expired SideNote Pro v1.12.0 - Free for 6 months

[Brownie2019]

Features​

• Global summon shortcut: press Ctrl+Shift+Space from any Windows application to bring the assistant forward instantly, with no window to search for and no tab to reload.
  • Customizable key combination: change the shortcut in Settings under Keyboard, using modifiers with Space, a letter, or a number, such as Alt+Space.
  • Conflict handling: if Windows cannot register a chosen combination because another application already holds it, SideNote Pro notifies you and restores your previous working shortcut.
• Right-edge docking and drawer leash: anchor the panel to the edge of your current display and retract it into a small 44 by 68 pixel leash when you step away from it.
  • Position memory: clicking the leash restores the exact size and vertical position you left the panel at, so nothing needs re-arranging.
  • Display change resilience: the leash re-docks itself automatically when Windows reports a resolution change, a work-area change, a DPI change, or a display disconnect.
• Flexible window modes: use SideNote Pro as an ordinary floating window, maximize it, or keep it docked, depending on what suits the task in front of you.
  • Wide layout sidebar: widen the window past 1,200 logical pixels to keep your conversation history visible in a sidebar while answers keep a comfortable reading width.
  • Independent always-on-top: the assistant window can stay above other windows on its own, and the drawer leash can stay on top independently without forcing the full window to be topmost.
• Bring Your Own Key AI connections: configure OpenAI with your own secret key, or connect a local Ollama or LM Studio endpoint so inference runs entirely on your own hardware.
  • Any compatible endpoint: set up another OpenAI-compatible service manually, keeping in mind that compatibility varies between services and is worth checking beforehand.
  • Per-profile model selection: choose the specific model for each provider profile, plus an optional reasoning effort level where your chosen model supports one.
• Document input: attach PDF, DOCX, TXT, and Markdown files directly into a conversation and ask questions about their content.
  • Local text extraction: text is pulled out of the document on your own machine, and the original file itself is never uploaded anywhere.
• Screenshots and image capture: capture a region, a specific window, a full screen, or the entire virtual desktop, or paste directly from the clipboard.
  • Drag and drop support: drag an image file straight into the conversation window instead of capturing a new screenshot each time.
• Local folder context: point SideNote Pro at a folder you choose and ask questions about the files inside it.
  • Lexical search, not crawling: nothing is discovered or watched in the background, and indexing happens locally with no AI provider contacted and no embeddings or vector database involved.
  • Attached sources: every answer keeps a list naming the files and PDF pages it drew on, so you can open and verify the original material yourself.
• Selected-text actions: summarize, rewrite, explain, or translate a text selection in any Windows application using a shortcut.
  • Custom actions: define your own selected-text actions beyond the built-in set to match tasks you repeat often.
• Inline commands: type a short trigger such as /fix, /en, /short, or /formal followed by your text in any Windows application, then press Tab to have the AI’s version typed back in place.
  • Custom commands and writing context: add your own commands and set a writing context that applies to all of them, with every command switched off until you turn it on.
• Local conversation history: threads, search, pins, and retention settings are stored entirely on your device, with no cloud synchronization involved.
  • Markdown and PDF export: export an entire thread as Markdown, or export a single assistant response as a formatted A4 PDF rendered locally.
• Usage and cost tracking: see token counts and local cost estimates for the AI usage you generate.
  • Daily ledger and limit: track a running daily ledger of usage and optionally set a daily limit to keep costs predictable.
• Response rendering and controls: answers render as Markdown with copyable code blocks, and you can stop, continue, regenerate, or edit a response as needed.
