SideBrain
Family & household

Find your paperwork when you need it.

An insurance letter, a contractor's quote, or a voice memo in m4a, mp3, or wav: SideBrain can turn it into a note to review and ask about later. Audio needs the local speech model installed; the Docs list supported formats and details.

The documentation explains how data handling depends on processing and storage choices.

From letter to a note you can find again

  1. Capture a document

    Choose a file in Finder with the SideBrain action or drag it into the window. For iPhone files, follow the setup for an Apple Shortcut in the iPhone capture guide.

  2. Review the preview

    Check the extracted content, edit the note, and decide whether to save it to the selected Gbrain in the confirmation step.

  3. Ask later

    Ask, “When does the insurance policy expire?” and check the sources shown. Ask-your-Brain answers can be incomplete; verify important details in the note.
