A first look at Sidefy's upcoming interface update: native-aligned layouts and visuals tuned for macOS 26, with before-and-after comparisons across key screens.
Sidefy’s next release refactors core plugin and rules surfaces so they feel at home on macOS 26: clearer hierarchy, updated materials, and controls that follow the system’s current design language. Below is a side-by-side style preview—Before is the current look, After is what ships in the upcoming build.

The plugin list and chrome are tightened so browsing and managing extensions matches the rest of the system.
