SideWalk

Walk while your agents run.

Your agent makes you wait dozens of times a day. Sidewalk turns those waits into steps and pulls you back the moment you're needed.

Get a head start on your step goal, without setting aside time for it.

Mac + iPhone. Works with Claude Code and Cursor.

Sidewalk phone app: goal met at 6,021 steps

I found 50 minutes hiding in plain sight.

My agent makes me wait around 60 times each morning. More than a third of those pauses are long enough for a walk. Put together, that’s nearly 50 minutes on my feet while the work keeps moving.

How it works

  1. 01

    Work with AI as usual

    Sidewalk knows when your agent starts and nudges you to walk.

  2. 02

    Walk with your phone

    Sidewalk plugs into your iPhone's built-in pedometer and tracks steps.

  3. 03

    Come back when you're needed

    Sidewalk tells you the moment your agent needs you or when it's finished.

A quick walk while your agent works isn’t wasted time. Stanford research found that:

  • Walking increased creative idea generation by an average of 60% compared with sitting.
  • The creative boost carried over briefly after participants sat back down.

Sidewalk gives you a way to capture thoughts without needing to open another app or rush back to your desk.

FAQ

Is this just a step counter?
Sort of, but a step counter can't tell you your agent is blocked. That's the part that makes the walk stress-free.
Will it hit my whole goal?
Depends how much you run agents. It's a head start, not a guarantee. Some days it'll be most of it.
Is it available on Windows/Linux?
Not yet. Mac + iPhone only for now.
Does it work with all agentic-coding tools?
We currently only support Claude Code and Cursor, with Codex in the works.
Is it a Mac app or iOS app?
It's both. You will need to download the app on both devices. Not ideal, but we promise it's super easy and quick.
Do I need an account?
No. Everything stays on your machine.
What if I don't walk?
We'll be sad, but nothing breaks. Sidewalk is not a focus tool that blocks you.
Is it free?
You get a 3 day free trial. After that, it's $5/month or $40/year.
