How it will work

What using it will look like

Sidecar is not open yet, so these steps are the order it is planned to work in, not a sequence to start here.

  1. Tell it what is going on

    One box takes an errand, a birthday, a booking or a next step in plain words, and it lands in the right part of the app.

  2. It works out the order

    Today comes back as one ranked list: what matters now at the top, what is slipping underneath, and a short reason beside each line.

  3. Read the top line and get on

    One decided answer rather than a dashboard to interpret. The reason is there if you would rather do something else with your evening.

  4. Connect Google when you want to

    On Plus, Sidecar reads your Google Calendar and Google Contacts, read-only, and the privacy screen names every place your data goes.

What it will do

A copilot for the whole of your life, made for busy UK professionals and parents: tell it what is going on, and it works out today for you.

For what it covers, see the pages this site publishes.

It decides what comes first, and says why

Today opens as one ranked list, headed by the single thing to do now, with what is slipping below it. Every line carries its reason underneath.

Tell it in your own words

Type an errand, a birthday, a booking or a next step the way you would say it, and it lands as a task, a dated item or a goal step.

The people side, held beside the tasks

Birthdays, cards still to send, gift notes, and a flag on anyone you have not been in touch with for a while, all in one list.

Errands with a deadline, and without

Jobs with a date sit beside the ones that just need doing sometime, so nothing has to be given a made-up deadline to be held.

Bookings, each with its date and status

Appointments, tables and trips, every one carrying where it stands, so what is actually booked and what is still an intention are told apart.

Goals in steps, plus a someday list

Each goal breaks into steps you can see. Anything with no date yet waits on the someday list instead of crowding today.

Works from the calendar you already keep

On Plus, Sidecar reads your Google Calendar and Google Contacts, so it starts from the dates you have. Read-only, so it never writes to them.
