Hey everyone,

I’m a solo developer finishing up SideKit - a lightweight, local-first utility sidebar that lives in your Windows system tray. Fast, efficient, minimal clicks.

Before launching on the Microsoft Store, I need 5 to 10 power users to stress-test the standalone build on different monitor layouts in Windows.

The Deal:

  1. Test: Download and run the pre-release .zip build.
  2. Feedback: Fill out a short Google feedback form.
  3. Reward: Get a permanent, free Microsoft Store retail key on release day (includes lifetime automatic updates).

What SideKit Includes:

  • Sticky Notes
  • Clipboard History
  • Time Tracker & Detailed Sessions Display
  • Color Picker & Palette Manager
  • Quick Access Workspace Shelves
  • Bulk Rename
  • Image Resize & Convert
  • Audio Mixer
  • Multi-Screen Brightness
  • Mouse Highlight
  • Keystroke Display
  • Timer / Stopwatch

Privacy Guarantee:

100% offline. Zero tracking, zero telemetry, zero cloud accounts. Everything runs entirely from a database on your machine.

Please note: To ensure I can actually review all logs and support testers individually, slots are limited and filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Check out the screenshots attached. If you want to grab a testing slot, follow the link below:
