Please don’t attach meeting content, transcripts, API keys, or raw audio. Send the steps to reproduce, with personal information removed.

Check these first

01

No audio is coming in

Open System Settings → Privacy & Security on your Mac and check Sidethink’s microphone or screen recording permission. Capturing audio from another app requires screen recording permission.

02

BYOK won’t connect

Re-enter the key for that provider in Settings and run the connection test. Keys are stored in the macOS Keychain, and the app never switches to a different provider on its own.

03

Pro isn’t activating

In Settings, under Pro, choose Restore Purchases. Also check that you are signed in with the same Apple Account you bought it with.

04

Can’t find my notes

Check the destination folder shown in Settings. Sidethink saves meeting notes as Markdown in the folder you selected.

What to include when you write

  • Your macOS version
  • Your Sidethink version
  • Whether you are on BYOK or Pro
  • Whether you selected Apple Speech or Soniox
  • The steps that lead to the problem, and any error code shown on screen
