Backstage Sidekick

The mod seat, made easy. One-tap quick phrases, prebid radar, and a who-to-thank list for Whatnot live shows — in a side panel.

Free moderator tools for Whatnot live shows. Backstage Sidekick opens in a side panel next to your Whatnot tab and puts a mod's whole night on one tap: chat phrases, sizes and emoji, a list of everyone to thank for raids, tips and giveaway wins, prebid alerts, and a name list. For mods, co-hosts and sellers. No account, no sign-up, no charge. Anyone who's modded a show knows the loop. Welcome people in, push the follow, hype the giveaway, ask the winner's size, thank the raid. The same twenty messages, typed over and over, all night. Sidekick turns them into taps. CHAT PHRASES, IN YOUR WORDS It comes loaded with the lines mods actually post: welcomes, follow and bookmark pushes, giveaway hype, congrats, prebid and Buy It Now callouts, sponsor thank-yous. Edit any phrase, add your own categories, and fold a category away when you don't need it. Fill-in-the-blank phrases ask for the username or item, then post clean. SIZES, BRANDS AND EMOJI Size chips post "sz 8" style callouts, with separate tabs for women's, men's, kids and shoes, and a brands list you fill in yourself. Pin your favorites to the top. Emoji walls land with one tap, and taps stack, so "Welcome in!" plus a heart builds one message before you send. WHO TO THANK, SO NOBODY SLIPS PAST While the show is open, Sidekick keeps a running list of the moments that deserve a shoutout: raids, tips, giveaway winners and Buy It Now buyers, in the order they arrived, with a clock showing who's been waiting. Thank each one by name with a tap and check them off. Opened the panel mid-show? Tap Catch up and it scans the sales already made. PREBID ALERTS The listings getting bids before they go live are the show's hottest items. Sidekick puts them on their own tab, so one tap drops a "prebids are hot" line for the item heating up. When the listing runs, it clears itself. NAME LIST Keep a running list in the panel: giveaway entries, everyone who typed DONE, people to follow back. Add names by hand, or set a watch word and Sidekick collects anyone who types it in chat. Check people off, then post the whole list back to chat at once. [PASTE THIS PARAGRAPH ONLY ONCE VERSION 1.2.0 IS LIVE] RAID TRAINS Modding a raid train? Paste the train's tracking number from Raid Train Express and the Train tab shows the full running order, who's live now and who's next, with the host, the show notes and the rules, so the handoff never catches you off guard. Backstage partners with Raid Train Express, where trains are organized. [END] WORKS THE WAY YOU MOD Pick how a tap works: Send posts straight to chat, Copy puts the phrase on your clipboard, and Build adds it to a scratch pad so you can put one message together and send it yourself. Not on a show yet? Taps land on the scratch pad so you can build your lines before you go live. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account required. What Sidekick tracks about a show stays in your browser.
