Make your Action Button do more. Sidekey brings your favorite tools and shortcuts into one personal launcher. Press and hold your iPhone Action Button, choose an action, and get on with your day. YOUR BUTTON, YOUR WAY Choose your actions, personalize their names and colors, and arrange them in the order you want. Everyday, Work and Unwind profiles are included for free. Switch between them whenever your routine changes. USEFUL TOOLS, INCLUDED FOR FREE Capture a quick note before the thought disappears. Start a focus timer, take a guided breathing break, use the flashlight, or check copied text. Take photos and videos with Pocket camera. Record, play and share voice notes. Scan multiple pages into a shareable PDF. Keep a favorite website or Maps destination within easy reach. Connect your own Apple shortcuts to open apps, play playlists, set a Focus mode, create reminders and more. Simple recipes explain how to build each shortcut and connect it to Sidekey. GET MORE WITH SIDEKEY+ Private camera Keep personal photos and videos in a locked library inside Sidekey. Unlock with Face ID, Touch ID or your device passcode. Captures stay out of Photos unless you choose to export them. View, share or delete them while your SideKey+ access is active. Find my car Save your parking spot, add a garage or parking note, and get walking directions back through Apple Maps. Make a QR Turn a link or text into a QR code. Show it across the table or share it without asking anyone to type. Say it big Display a large message across your screen when a noisy room makes talking difficult. Custom profiles Create your own profiles for travel, work, weekends or any routine. Give each profile its own selection of actions and switch when you need a different menu. EASY FROM THE FIRST PRESS The built-in guide walks you through Settings, Action Button and Shortcut selection. Choose Open Launcher for your personal menu, or create a shortcut with Open a Sidekey Tool to open a supported tool directly. You can also set up Siri, Back Tap, a Home Screen shortcut or a Shortcuts widget. Interactive 3D illustrations help you explore the button and understand setup. ABOUT PRIVATE CAMERA You start each capture with visible camera controls. The private library locks when the app enters the background. Private captures are excluded from device backups. Export anything you want to keep before deleting the app or allowing SideKey+ access to end. Subscription expiry does not automatically delete saved captures, but access to the library requires an active subscription. The physical Action Button requires a compatible iPhone and setup in Settings. Some tools require permissions, and some actions require shortcuts you create in Apple Shortcuts. Your iPhone may need to be unlocked.
