Get started

Aside runs tasks in the browser. It can use websites, accounts, browsing history, files, and saved credentials according to your settings.

Before you startCopy Anchor Link

You need an Aside account and the Aside browser components installed.

Download Aside from aside.com/download. Aside runs on macOS 15.0 or later and on Windows 10 version 22H2 or later, or Windows 11. Windows installers are available for both x64 and ARM64. There is no separate minimum browser version because Aside is the browser.

Windows is officially supported, as announced in Aside v1.0.914.1. Choose the installer for your operating system and processor architecture on the download page.

Device-key protection uses Secure Enclave on Mac or the TPM on Windows when available, with a software-backed fallback. Post-quantum installation-key protection is used for new installations on Macs with Secure Enclave running macOS 26 or later; it is not a Windows requirement or a guarantee for every installation.

Safari uses file import. In Safari, choose File > Export, then upload the ZIP file Safari creates. Aside rejects non-ZIP files for this flow.
