Questions, Answered
Everything you need to know about SideDraft. If you can't find your answer here, feel free to contact us.
Does SideDraft work with ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and Gemini?
+
Yes — all four are fully supported. SideDraft activates automatically when you open any of these platforms in Chrome. It also works on any other website for the "Send to Editor" context menu feature.
Do I need an API key or a separate subscription?
+
No API keys, no separate accounts. SideDraft uses your existing logins on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Grok. If you're already using these tools, SideDraft just works.
Is my writing data safe?
+
Completely. SideDraft runs 100% locally in your browser. Your drafts and snippets are stored only on your device — nothing is sent to any external server, including ours. We have no tracking and no data collection.
What happens if ChatGPT or Claude changes their website?
+
We actively monitor all supported AI platforms and ship fixes quickly when things change. Extension updates are pushed through the Chrome Web Store automatically.
Is SideDraft really free?
+
Yes — completely free with no hidden costs, no premium tier, and no subscription. We built SideDraft to solve our own writing workflow frustrations and chose to share it freely with the community.
Can I use SideDraft on websites other than AI chats?
+
Yes. On any webpage, you can select text, right-click, and choose "Send to Editor" from the context menu. The selected content instantly appears in your SideDraft panel — great for pulling research into your draft.
How do I export my writing?
+
SideDraft offers four export options: PDF (formatted for reading), Markdown (for blogs and GitHub), HTML (web-ready), and Plain Text (clean .txt). Just click the export icon in the editor toolbar.
Can I use it for professional work?
+
Absolutely. SideDraft is perfect for professional writers, researchers, and creators who want to leverage AI without the friction of constant tab-switching and copy-pasting.
Do you store my drafts on your server?
+
No. We don't even have a server for drafts. Everything is stored in your computer's local storage via the Chrome Extension API. Your privacy is our priority.
Who built SideDraft?
+
SideDraft was built with love by Cloudfold Studio (under Montr AI) to improve the AI-assisted writing experience.
