Darwin Side Kick
The tools every WordPress site ends up needing, in one tidy screen.
Most sites collect a dozen small plugins that all look different and all need updating. Side Kick replaces them with one screen in your admin. Switch on only what a site needs; leave the rest out.

Why Side Kick
One plugin instead of a drawer full.
Without Side Kick
- A separate plugin for every small job
- Each one with its own look and its own settings page
- A pile of updates and admin notices to keep on top of
- Extra code on the site for features nobody uses
With Side Kick
- One home in your admin for the extra tools
- Every module looks and works the same way
- Switch modules on and update them from one dashboard
- Each module is its own plugin: leave out what you don't need
What's inside
Built-in utilities, plus modules you add as you need them.
The core comes with a set of everyday utilities. Modules are separate plugins you switch on from Side Kick's dashboard, one at a time.
- Built inUtilities
Duplicate pages, switch off comments or the block editor, stronger passwords, leaked-password checks and more.
See the utilities - ModuleAdmin Style
Group, rename and restyle the admin menu, and put every notice in one panel.

Meet Darwin AIQuestions
Good questions to ask.
When is Side Kick out?
Once the Darwin AI alpha has settled. Leave your email and we'll tell you the day it's ready.
Can I use just one module?
Yes. Each module is its own plugin. Switch on the ones a site needs and leave the rest out entirely.
Does it work with Elementor, WooCommerce and ACF?
Yes. Copies keep their Elementor layout, ACF field values and Rank Math data. WooCommerce products come across without their variations, and Side Kick tells you what to add back. Easy Emails covers WooCommerce's emails too.
Will it change anything on my site straight away?
No. Apart from the Duplicate button, every utility is off until you switch it on, and modules only run once you turn them on.
What do I need to run it?
WordPress 6.0 or newer and PHP 8.1 or newer.
Does it send my data anywhere?
No tracking. The only outside check is for leaked passwords, and only if you switch it on: just the first five characters of a scrambled version are sent, never the password.
Where did it come from?
Side Kick is the toolkit our agency, Darwin, installs on its client sites. We're packaging it up so you can use it too.
