THE COMPLETE MAP

Six systems, designed to behave as one.

A sidebar that behaves like a place

Pin the web apps and links that matter to either screen edge, group them with dividers, and move the whole setup across monitors without rebuilding it.Drag ordering, unread badges, custom icons, named templates, left or right placement, and a compact 48 or 100 pixel rail.

A browser built for the side of your work

Every saved item opens in its own aligned browser window with tabs, search, bookmarks, downloads, find, permissions, and per-site privacy controls.The browser stays focused on quick companion tasks instead of trying to replace every long-form browsing session.

Gaming modes with an explicit input contract

Choose View, Interact, or Focus. Read through a click-through overlay, use visible controls, or deliberately take keyboard focus when you need to type.Opacity controls, fullscreen-aware windowing, multi-monitor placement, quick search, and optional real local performance telemetry.

Offline dictation, not a cloud microphone

Run Whisper locally, trigger recording from a global shortcut, correct personal vocabulary, expand snippets, and paste into the app you are already using.Tiny, Small, Large Turbo, and Large models are downloaded only when you choose them.

Privacy controls you can inspect

Block ads and trackers per domain, review real blocked counts, manage enforceable site permissions, and keep browsing and voice data on your device.Side Whisper does not pretend unsupported controls exist and does not fabricate privacy or performance claims.

A command layer for repeated setups

Use the Operator Console to search commands, jump to open tabs, and switch complete sidebar workspaces with keyboard-first flows.Built-in and personal templates support replace, merge, import, export, shortcuts, and undo.

THE RAIL

Small enough to disappear. Structured enough to matter.

The sidebar is the product’s stable anchor. Links, dividers, badges, templates, themes, quick search, voice, and Settings all stay reachable without making the rail itself noisy.

Links and dividers

Build a scan-friendly stack of web apps and visual groups.

Source-aware notifications

Unread badges stay attached to the link that produced them.

Reusable workspaces

Switch complete setups with merge, replace, import, export, and undo.

Theme modes

Use dark, light, OLED, Auto, built-in presets, or a custom theme.

THE COMPANION BROWSER

Browser essentials, kept close to the context.

Side Whisper does not hide the web inside simplistic widgets. It gives each saved item a real tabbed browser window with the tools needed for everyday web-app sessions.

Current Side Whisper companion browser with tabs, navigation, bookmarks, privacy controls, and Gaming view — The current companion browser keeps tabs, navigation, bookmarks, privacy controls, and Gaming view in one compact window.

Tabbed windows

Create, close, reorder, pin, mute, duplicate, restore, and persist tabs.

Search and navigation

Search, reload, hard reload, find in page, zoom, print, translate, and fullscreen.

Bookmarks

Star pages, use a compact bookmarks bar, and reorder favorites.

Downloads

Inspect progress, pause, resume, cancel, open files, and show them in Explorer.

Blocker and permissions

Toggle blocking per site, inspect counts, and manage supported permissions.

Recovery and Memory Saver

Wake sleeping tabs and recover failed, offline, or crashed pages.

THE COMMAND LAYER

One keyboard surface for repeated actions.

The Operator Console searches open tabs, recent actions, commands, and templates. It stays a trusted Side Whisper command surface instead of becoming an arbitrary shell.
