What Sidedesk Delivers To Your Inbox
Your AI assistant's messages appear like emails — with a sender, subject line, and timestamp. Read them when you want, reply when you're ready.
Unread messages appear bold with a blue marker, just like Outlook.
Have a real voice conversation with your AI. Click Call, speak naturally, and it responds. No typing required.
Works on desktop and mobile. WebRTC — no phone number needed.
Tables, code blocks, progress bars — not just plain text. Your assistant sends structured data you can actually read.

Who Sidedesk Is For
For Your Mum and Dad
They already know how to use email. They already know what an inbox is. Sidedesk puts AI in that familiar container — no new apps to learn, no chatbot interfaces to figure out.
- Reads and looks like Outlook — because it is Outlook
- Messages arrive like emails, not ephemeral chats
- Voice calls work like a phone — just click and talk
- Nothing to configure, nothing to prompt
For Developers
Your AI agent already runs autonomously. But where do its reports go? Sidedesk gives it a proper outbox — push tables, code, progress bars, and voice updates to an inbox you actually check.
- REST API:
/desk/pushfor structured cards - WebSocket for real-time updates
- SQLite persistence — messages survive restarts
- LiveKit WebRTC voice — call your agent from anywhere
For Anyone Tired of Flat Design
Flat design made everything look the same. You can't tell a button from a label, a link from a heading. Sidedesk brings back the clarity of 2003: buttons look like buttons, windows look like windows.
- 3D borders — you can tell what's clickable
- Gradients that communicate hierarchy
- Tahoma 11px — dense, readable, fast
- An aesthetic the internet is desperately missing
How It Works
What People Are Saying
Nostalgia Isn't Retro. It's Ergonomic.
Frutiger Aero is trending for a reason. Thirty million TikTok views, Apple shipping "Liquid Glass," 73% of Gen Z campaigns referencing Y2K aesthetics. People don't just miss skeuomorphic design — they perform better with it.
Research shows older users complete tasks significantly faster with interfaces that use visual metaphors they recognise — beveled buttons, window frames, folder icons. These aren't decorations. They're affordances.
Sidedesk isn't cosplaying as 2003. It's using 2003's design language because it actually works — for your parents, for power users, and for everyone who's sick of guessing whether that grey rectangle is a button or a label.
