For iPhone. Public beta coming soon.
Your life has logistics.
SideCar handles them.
SideCar watches traffic, your calendar, your inbox, and your packages, then tells you the one thing you need to know before you need to know it. Out the door on time. Deliveries tracked before you ask. Your work schedule in your calendar from a single photo.
One email the day the beta opens. Nothing else.
Beta testers will ride free, and every month of testing will earn a month of the full release on us. No keynote promises; the app already works. We’re polishing, not promising.
5+ apps
you bounce between to answer one question: when do I need to leave?
Buried
is where your tracking numbers live, three scrolls deep in promo email.
Retyped
is what your posted work schedule gets, shift by shift, week after week.
One app. Six jobs you never do again.
SideCar isn’t a chatbot bolted onto your phone. It’s a set of real assistants wired into the things that actually run your day.
Departure intelligence
Never do leave-time math again
Tell SideCar where an event is and it does the rest: live traffic from Google's routing engine, a heads-up when it's time to get ready, and a countdown on your lock screen when it's time to go.
The countdown lives on your lock screen and updates itself in the background. Traffic gets worse, the number adjusts. You never open the app. You're just, mysteriously, the person who shows up on time now.

Crash cleared on Route 1. You got 4 minutes back.
Package radar
Every delivery, tracked before you ask
Connect your Gmail (one account or five) and SideCar quietly reads your order and shipping emails so you don't have to. Confirmations, status changes, carrier handoffs: parsed, deduplicated, and lined up in one clean list.
When something moves, you get one useful push. Not the retailer's marketing blast. Just: your package is out for delivery.

Photo to calendar
Your work schedule, from a photo
Snap the schedule pinned to the break room wall. SideCar finds your shifts by name, even nicknames, groups them by how confident it is, and asks before adding anything to your calendar.
What used to be ten minutes of squinting and retyping is now: tap, snap, done.

Plans with people
Calendars your group chat can actually keep
Shared calendars with real invitations, owners, and admins, so the family schedule or the trip plan lives in one place instead of forty screenshots.
Messaging is built in: group chats, reactions, undo send, and addresses that turn into tappable map chips. Make the plan and get the directions in the same thread.

An assistant with context
Ask it things Siri fumbles
SideCar's assistant can read your calendar, check live drive times, and find places nearby. Ask 'when should I leave for the dentist?' and it answers with traffic, not a web search.
It can add events, move them, and set up departure countdowns for you, because it's wired into the same engine that runs the rest of the app.
move my 3pm and find coffee near the office
Done. “Design review” is now 4:00-4:30 PM, your calendar had the slot free.
Three coffee spots within a 6 minute walk of the office. Sable & Co. closes latest (8 PM). Want directions?
Real calendar access. Real travel times. Real actions, with your approval.
Money at a glance
Know what's left before you spend it
Set a monthly budget and SideCar keeps the only number that matters front and center: what's left. It rides along in your morning overview, right next to your day.
No spreadsheet energy, no category guilt. Just a glance before you tap 'buy' on something you'll have to track with Package Radar anyway.
June budget
$347.59 left
19 days to go. You’re ahead of pace.
In your morning overview:
“Flag Day · Jun 14 · All day · $347.59 left this month”
Somewhere in Cupertino, a smarter Siri is perpetually “coming next year.”
SideCar shipped.
We’re not waiting for a keynote to make your phone useful. Every feature on this page exists, works, and is in testers’ hands right now.
We built SideCar to give you back hours, not minutes
We counted on our own phones first. The little stuff compounds: a few minutes saved several times a day is hours back every month, and a lot fewer “sorry, running late” texts.
| The chore | Without SideCar | With SideCar |
|---|---|---|
| Re-checking maps before every event | 5 min × 2 events a day | Lock screen tells you |
| Digging tracking numbers out of email | 4 min per package | Already in your Orders list |
| Typing your work schedule into a calendar | 10 min a week | One photo |
| Coordinating plans across a group chat | Endless scrollback | One shared calendar |
Trust is the whole product
An assistant that reads your email and knows your schedule had better be straight with you about how it works.
You're the customer, not the product
SideCar costs $4.99 a month because servers, live traffic routing, and AI cost real money. That's the whole business model. No ads. No selling your data. Ever.
Your inbox stays yours
Gmail access is granted by you, scoped to reading mail for order tracking, and revocable in one tap. SideCar processes your email to serve you and no one else.
Leave means leave
Delete your account and your data goes with it. Disconnect an email account and SideCar stops reading it immediately.
Beta testers ride free
When it opens, the public beta will cost nothing. And we pay you back for helping: every month you spend testing earns a month of the full release, free. Test for six months, get six months on us.

Fair questions
When does the public beta open?+
Soon. SideCar is in private testing right now, and the public beta opens the moment we're happy with stability. Everything on this page already exists and works; we're polishing, not promising. Drop your email in any notify box on this page and you'll get one email the day it opens. Questions in the meantime? beta@sidecarapp.ai reaches a human.
Is it safe to connect my Gmail?+
You grant access through Google's own sign-in, scoped to reading mail. SideCar reads order and shipping emails to build your tracking list, and that's the job. Disconnect any account at any time and access ends immediately. We don't sell data or run ads; the subscription is the business model.
How is this different from Siri or Apple Intelligence?+
Siri answers questions. SideCar runs errands. It puts a live, traffic-aware countdown on your lock screen, watches your inbox for deliveries, and turns a photo of a schedule into calendar events. Also, and we say this with love: SideCar features have a release date in the past.
What do I need to run it?+
An iPhone running a recent version of iOS. Departure countdowns use Live Activities on the lock screen and Dynamic Island. Android isn't supported yet.
How will the beta deal work?+
Simple ledger: the beta will be free, and every month you spend testing adds one free month of the full release to your account. Beta for four months, and your first four months after launch cost nothing. There's no cap and no fine print beyond 'be in the beta that month.' You'll also get a direct feedback line into the app, and yes, we actually read it and ship from it.
Can I cancel easily?+
One tap from settings, no retention maze, no 'are you sure' guilt trip. And the beta will be free, so there's nothing to cancel until launch.
Why a subscription at all?+
Live traffic routing, push notifications, email parsing, and AI calls are ongoing server costs that scale with every user. A one-time price would mean cutting corners on exactly the parts that make SideCar useful. $4.99/month keeps it fast, private, and ad-free.
Be the person who’s always weirdly on top of things
The public beta opens soon, and the earn-free-months deal opens with it. Every month you test will be a month of the full release you never pay for. Be early; it pays.
One email the day the beta opens. Nothing else.
Free during beta. $4.99/mo at launch, minus the months you earn.
