SideCue
Capture ideas the moment inspiration strikes, organize them effortlessly, and turn them into actionable next steps when you're ready.
Quickly save ideas as text, voice notes, or simple outlines, then organize them into a growing collection you can revisit anytime. When you're ready, SideCue's AI-powered features help clarify your thoughts, expand on your ideas, and turn them into actionable next steps.
Unlike traditional note-taking apps that become cluttered over time, SideCue is designed specifically for capturing ideas first and organizing them later, so you can stay focused on your creativity instead of managing folders and documents.

Build better meetings using your organization's principles.

Every meeting is designed with purpose, evaluated against your standards, and continuously improved through structured feedback.
Whether you're planning a strategic planning session, leadership meeting, project review, or team stand-up, SideSpeak Playbook helps ensure every meeting reflects your organization's way of working—resulting in clearer objectives, stronger decisions, greater accountability, and better outcomes.

SmartStart Alerts
Get a text alert when someone starts a SideSpeak meeting you follow, so you can join the conversation right away—no calendar invite or group text needed. Available with SideSpeak Premium.
Premium
Meeting Alert
Get notified by text or email when someone is waiting for you in a SideSpeak meeting.
SideSpeak Meeting Alerts makes it easy for clients, coworkers, friends, or family members to let you know when they’re ready to meet—without calling, texting, or emailing you first.
Choose a meeting from your verified SideSpeak history and turn on alerts by text message, email, or both. When someone enters that meeting before you do, SideSpeak notifies you and provides a direct link so you can join them right away.
For security and privacy, alerts can only be enabled for meetings in which you have previously participated. To monitor a new meeting, simply start or join it once while signed in to your SideSpeak Premium account, then return to Meeting Alerts and select it from your updated meeting history.

Free Tool

Record a browser tab, application window, or screen with sound, then preview and save it directly to your computer. Your recording remains private and is never uploaded or stored by SideRecord.
Free Tool
SideBar
Start a private side conversation from any online meeting.
**SideBar by SideSpeak** makes it easy to have a quick, private conversation with selected people during a larger online meeting. Choose who you want to speak with, add an optional note, and invite them by email or text into a separate SideSpeak conversation.
SideBar works alongside Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and other meeting platforms. Your original meeting remains open while the private conversation takes place in a new browser tab, allowing everyone to return when the sidebar is finished.
Unlike a traditional breakout room, SideBar does not require control of the original meeting or assistance from its host. You decide who joins and when the conversation begins. Before entering SideBar, participants simply mute their microphone and turn off their camera in the original meeting.

SideMap turns live conversations into a visual map of ideas, questions, decisions, and action items.
