Taco ratings
'Customers are all about Sidekick Browser, praising its efficient organization of workspaces, seamless navigation between apps and sessions, and the ability to streamline multitasking. The integrated sidebar apps and session saving are also big hits. There are a few hiccups like minor issues with CPU usage and import problems, just small bumps on the road. Weighing the raves against the occasional grumbles, Sidekick Browser is hitting the mark and is a solid buy for those in need of a distraction-free browsing experience. With an overall rating of 4.4 from 100 reviews and a 60-day money-back guarantee, it's worth giving it a try.'

Pseudo closure of activities, just to avoid honoring the Lifetime Deals?
I notice that as of January 3rd 2025, anyone can start paying for the PRO subscription at $12/month, despite me having TIER 1 (and have been requested to cancel, because they were going out of business. This happened late 2024).
Can someone from Appsumo clarify what's really going on? It seems to me that there are two possibilities:
Either they really are shutting down and forgot to cancel subscriptions with Stripe (which seems unlikely), or, more likely, they acted in bad faith when they told us the business hadn’t worked out and that they would need to refund the LTDs.
If this was a strategy to force me into a monthly payment, let it be known that I will NEVER pay for this, regardless of the circumstances. Not even if they paid me to use their browser.
Please, APPSUMO STAFF, clarify!

Shutting down notice likely not legit.
We were told that "Sidekick Browser has made the difficult decision to sunset the tool by the end of 2024. Unfortunately, they did not see the growth they were hoping for and the product became unsustainable."
As a result I requested a refund (Tier 3) since they wouldn't be operational by the end of Q4 2024. I received my money back in Credits and forfeited my rights to my life-time Tier 3 license. To my surprise however, Sidekick browser is fully operational as of 01.01.2025 and asked me to "Subscribe and become a Pro" (monthly subscription) to enable the features I previously had access to.
Their "shutting down notice" seemed to be nothing more than a tactic to reduce the amount of Sumo Users with life-time access deals. Great strategy. F* this company.

A Game Changer for Productivity
I've been using Sidekick Browser for many years, and it has significantly improved my workflow. The distraction-free interface helps me focus on what matters most, and its integration with tools like TidyCal and BreezeDoc has made managing my tasks so much easier.
I'm genuinely sad to hear that development will stop by the end of this year. Sidekick has been a reliable companion, and I will miss the unique features that set it apart from other browsers. Thank you for all the great experiences!

What a bummer.
Sidekick was a cornerstone of my everyday workflow. I am very sad to see Sidekick browser close down. Well done team Sidekick, and good luck on future ventures.
Well, now they seemed to have lied to investors about shutting down.
