The Sidekick is the first notepad that I’ve been able to develop a habit of using every day. It adds so much value to my desk that I can’t live without it. I even have a spare in my backpack ready to deploy when needed.

Sidekick Notepad is my daily companion for work and creativity. It is the first place that thoughts, ideas, notes, and tasks go before getting sorted into my digital system.

justchriswood

It is always immediately available to scribble down a note or a thought, and the perforated pages make it easy to compare multiple pages when needed. The premium materials and build quality makes every day using it just a little bit nicer.

The layout is effective without being cluttered and the writing surface is that perfect blend of just enough friction that you know you’re using paper without dragging the pen and making it feel like a chore. It is a simple but very effective productivity tool and I can’t recommend it enough.

It has become the place where my analogue musings are aggregated to make the transition into my digital lifestyle. From “palette” to “canvas”, it is my “everyday carry”.

The Sidekick Notepad is an extremely valuable tool when editing videos. I use it as a place to list out all of the shots I need to reshot and the timecodes of where they need to be placed. This way I can quickly film those pickup shots and know where to place them in my video.

The Sidekick has become as essential to my workflow as my laptop. It goes everywhere the laptop does and serves as my checklist and idea way station. I love the flexibility, simplicity, and consistency that it provides.

I use my sidekick for gaming as a DM. The list on the side is great as an initiative tracker, and the grid is great for maps, notes, etc. still fits great below my keyboard on my laptop/DM screen, and I can even use it to roll my dice on.

I've used a combination of notebooks and loose scratch paper for years, but the Sidekick notepad is the best of both worlds.

tomfinnigan

I love that I don't feel the need to be overly precious with it. It can be a place to jot down an idle thought or it can be used to fully map out a project. Very versatile.

kevin.doyle

Like all tools that I cherish it is thoughtfully designed, of sturdy and handsome construction, and has a persistent place in my day to day activities.

j.nerdy

I have ADHD which means switching context on my computer could cause me to get distracted and loose valuable time. Whenever I have an idea or thought while working I can quickly write it down on the Sidekick and then get back to my task at hand. Due to the design of the Sidekick Notepad it’s always right in front of me ready to go.

Christopher Lawley

My Sidekick notepad is a constant companion to my keyboard at home, and my laptop at the office. It allows me to jot notes or meeting highlights when answering a call, reading an email, or off a video conference.

jmeaden

It has saved me on more than one occasion; whenever my day gets out of control, Sidekick Notepad is there to help me focus and get things done. I absolutely adore it.

justchriswood

The Sidekick is the first notebook I’ve used that frictionless my works with the way my brain works. It has helped me so much with handling some intense projects in my new job.

iamtom

As someone who for years sought a digital way to achieve these goals, I remain surprised at how effective and elegant the actual solution ended up being.
