Sidekick v0.6.4

Summary

Sidekick 0.6.4 makes sign-in more reliable, standardizes the app on dark mode, and moves macOS releases to Apple Silicon only.

Improvements

• Dark mode everywhere — Sidekick now consistently uses its dark appearance instead of following the system theme.
• Apple Silicon macOS releases — New macOS downloads are built for M1 or newer Macs, making the supported platform clear and keeping releases focused on current hardware.

Fixes

• Sign-in no longer gets stuck waiting — Desktop sign-in now handles device names with punctuation and non-ASCII characters safely and shows callback errors instead of leaving the onboarding screen waiting indefinitely.

macOS Installation (Signed + Notarized)

Download the Apple Silicon .zip or .dmg file, drag Sidekick.app into Applications, then launch it normally. macOS 13 Ventura or newer on Apple Silicon (M1 or newer) is required. Intel Macs are not supported.

On first launch, macOS should recognize the app as signed and notarized. You should only need to approve the usual Microphone and Screen Recording permission prompts inside System Settings.

⚠️ Windows Installation (Unsigned x64 Build)

When running the installer on Windows, you might see a "Windows protected your PC" warning from Microsoft Defender SmartScreen saying it prevented an unrecognized app from starting.

Since this is an unsigned build, this is expected. You can safely ignore it by clicking More info and then Run anyway.

The public artifact release workflow currently publishes x64 installer and portable artifacts only.
