SideNote Pro VS Diffee

SideNote Pro's answer

SideNote Pro is designed as a native Windows companion rather than another AI destination. It can stay beside the application you are working in, remain always on top, dock to the edge of the desktop, and retract into a small handle when not needed. It also uses a bring-your-own-provider model, supporting both cloud AI services and local models through Ollama or LM Studio.
