Looks great, kudos for making it open-source! Yet as with any app that has access to my local file system, what instantly comes to mind is "narrow permissions" / principle of least permissions.
It'd be great if the app would only have read access to my files, not full disk permission.
As an end-user, I'm highly concerned that files might get deleted or data shared via the internet.
So ideally, Sidekick would have only "read" permissions and no internet access. (This applies really to any app with full disk read access).
Also: why does it say Mac Silicon required?
I can run Llama.cpp and Ollama on my intel mac.

I'm running it right now and macOS didn't ask for any permissions at all which afaik means that it cannot access most of my personal folders and definitely not the full disk. Am I missing something?

This is only true if it uses App Sandbox, which is mandatory for apps distributed through the App Store, but not necessarily everything else
