Download SideNook.app

The ZIP contains a single .app bundle. Drag it to your Applications folder.

What happens when you open it

Since SideNook is an indie app distributed outside the App Store, macOS will show a security prompt. This is normal — here is what to do:

1
Open the downloaded ZIP

Double-click it in Finder or Downloads to extract SideNook.app.

2
Move to Applications

Drag SideNook.app into your Applications folder.

3
Right-click → Open

Do not double-click. Right-click (or Ctrl-click) the app and choose Open. This tells macOS you trust it. Click Open in the dialog. You only need to do this once — after that, double-click works normally.

4
Grant Accessibility access

SideNook needs Accessibility access to detect your screen edges. macOS will prompt you — go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility and toggle SideNook on.
