Is SideHub really free to start?

Yes. The Starter plan is free forever with 2 workspaces and basic task management. No credit card required.

What happens when I upgrade or downgrade?

Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades apply at the end of your billing period. Your data is never deleted.

Can I cancel anytime?

Absolutely. Cancel with one click from your account settings. No questions asked, no hidden fees.

Your data is stored in PostgreSQL with encryption at rest. Agents connect via authenticated WebSocket. We never access your code or repos.

What integrations are supported?

Jira, Azure DevOps, GitHub, and Linear via Claude Code MCP. ICS calendars from any provider. Telegram for remote control.

Do I need technical skills to use SideHub?

Basic familiarity with development workflows is enough. If you use Claude Code, you'll feel right at home.

What's the difference between Pro and Business?

Pro gives you up to 3 agents and all core features. Business removes all limits and adds Telegram, calendar sync, analytics, and API access.

Can I self-host SideHub?

Not yet, but it's on our roadmap. For now, SideHub runs as a managed service to ensure the best experience.

What is an AI agent in the context of freelancing?

An AI agent is a local process that connects to your development environment and can execute tasks like running commands, generating code, and managing files on your behalf.

Is my code sent to the cloud?

No. SideHub agents run locally on your machine. Your code never leaves your environment unless you explicitly push it to a remote repository.

How AI Agents Are Changing Freelance Development

The Rise of AI-Assisted Development

The days of copy-pasting Stack Overflow answers are numbered. AI coding assistants like Claude Code can now understand your entire codebase and generate context-aware solutions.

But there's a gap: most AI tools are cloud-only. They can't run commands on your machine, can't access your local files, and can't integrate with your existing workflow.

Enter Local AI Agents

SideHub bridges this gap with local AI agents — lightweight processes that run on your machine and connect to the SideHub platform. Here's what they enable:

Direct Terminal Access

Execute shell commands from your browser, through a secure WebSocket connection to your local agent:

# Your agent runs locally
sidehub-agent start

# From the SideHub UI, you get full terminal access
# as if you were SSH'd into your own machine

AI-Powered Coding Sessions

Open a Claude panel and interact with your codebase through natural language:

"Fix the failing tests in the auth module"
"Add pagination to the user list endpoint"
"Refactor this component to use signals"

The agent spawns a Claude Code process locally, giving it access to your files while keeping everything on your machine.

Multi-Client Isolation

Each workspace maps to a different client or project. Agents know which workspace they belong to, so context never leaks between projects.

Why This Matters for Freelancers

Traditional Approach	With SideHub Agents
Context-switch between terminals	One cockpit, multiple workspaces
Manually run repetitive commands	Automate with Claude Code
Juggle separate tools per client	Everything in one place

Getting Started

Sign up at sidehub.io
Install the agent on your development machine
Connect it to your workspace
Start executing commands from the UI

The future of freelance development is here — and it runs locally.
