Sidekick is a great little app for MacBooks that will change settings for you depending on where you are. At your office and need a certain default printer? Sidekick can remember and do that for you. At your local favorite coffee shop annoying customers by using the hotspot and slowly sipping your coffee while you “work” ?? Sidekick can turn on more advanced firewall protection or other security features in apps, all based on your location.
The app design is fresh and clean and offers a free trial before purchase. If you have a ton of settings you have to change when you go to different client locations, this is the app for you!
Side note: this brings back memories of the old Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) application for DOS (and later for Windows) by Philippe Kahn. It was called SideKick and was how we got email in my first big corporate job at Citibank in the early 90s. Good times!
