Start the practice, skip the IT project
SideClick gets a new private practice working in an afternoon: download, register, see your first patient. Every install starts with a full-featured 30-day evaluation — no card, no crippled features, no server to set up.

Day one is a working practice
The evaluation window is the real product, end to end: notes, diary, billing, outcomes and on-device AI with nothing held back. When the 30 days end, everything you documented stays fully accessible; a licence is what keeps new patient intake open, never a ransom on the records you already made.
There is deliberately no sales call in the loop. Download it the week you're fitting out the room, and by the time the first referral arrives, the systems question is already answered.
How the first month actually runs
Week one: install on the laptop you already own, set up your services and fees, take a .cfbak backup to see how that feels (instant). Week two: first patients — intake at the kiosk, notes signed, invoices raised. Week three: the referral letters go out as PDFs from the record. Week four: the diary has a shape, the overview shows it, and you decide on a licence with a month of real evidence instead of a demo.
Costs that match early revenue
A new practice bleeds fixed costs, so Solo is built to add almost none: no hosting bill, no per-feature add-ons, and AI included rather than sold back as a monthly extra. Move up the ladder when the diary — not the marketing — says it's time; the solo-practice page covers what that first rung actually contains.
Decisions you can't get wrong
Early-stage software choices haunt practices for years, so SideClick removes the trapdoors: editions upgrade in place on the same database, every export format ships in every edition, and the worst case — choosing differently next year — is an export, not a hostage negotiation. The one decision that matters is starting the record properly, and the structure does that for you.
Questions, answered
What do I need to start seeing patients with SideClick?
A Mac (or a Windows machine on the preview build) and an afternoon. Download, register, set your services and fees, and the first appointment can be booked the same day. No card for the evaluation.
What happens when the 30-day evaluation ends?
Existing records stay readable, editable and exportable — permanently. Installing a licence key is what keeps new patient intake open. Nothing you documented is ever held against payment.
Should a new practice start on Solo or Practice?
Start on Solo unless you already have a second clinician or a second machine in week one. Upgrading later is a key change on the same database, so starting small costs nothing.
I'm not technical — how much IT is involved?
Installing an app and keeping a backup drive. There is no server, no domain setup, no database administration; the most technical task is choosing where the .cfbak copies live.
