TL;DR: Sayso has two parts: a web app and a desktop app. Launch the Coach from the ⚡ bolt in your Mac menu bar, the Sayso icon in your Windows tray, the web app, or the keyboard shortcut: Control + S (Mac) or Alt + Shift + S (Windows).

Ways to launch the Coach

From the menu bar (Mac): look near the top-right of your screen where your time and Wi-Fi icons live. Click the ⚡ bolt, then click Launch Coach.

From the tray (Windows): click the ^ next to the clock, click the Sayso icon, then Launch Coach. Pin Sayso to your taskbar so it's always visible.

Keyboard: press Control + S on Mac or Alt + Shift + S on Windows. To open Playbook, press Control + B on Mac or Alt + Shift + B on Windows.

From the web app: at app.asksayso.com, click Launch Coach. The desktop app has to be installed and open.

Keep the bolt visible

Your tray gets crowded fast. Hold ⌘ Command and drag the bolt to the right so it stays visible no matter what else is running.

Can't find the bolt?

If the bolt isn't showing in your tray:

  1. Open your Applications folder
  2. Find the Sayso icon and open the app
  3. You'll see it in your dock at the bottom of your screen

To keep Sayso in your dock:
