Score: 5.0/10 (Innovation: 4, Technical: 5, Documentation: 6, Utility: 6)

SideNote Pro is a closed-source Windows 11 desktop AI assistant that docks beside your work and uses your own API keys (BYOK) to connect to providers or local models. It's interesting for its native, always-available overlay UX with local storage and no vendor lock-in, but it's a commercial product rather than an open-source project.

Target audience: Windows power users and knowledge workers
