Looking for a fast way to access Perplexity Comet? Here’s the Reddit-verified trick that’s worked for me and many —though not all—users. This method uses the Sidekick Browser’s shutdown popup, thanks to a collaboration between Sidekick and Perplexity. Credit to Reddit user Nice-Mark2391 for surfacing this (now-removed) thread.
Step-by-Step: Get Your Comet Invite
- Download Sidekick Browser
- For Windows: Search “Sidekick Browser” in the Microsoft Store or use a trusted third-party site.
- For Mac: Use Homebrew paste this command
brew install --cask pushplaylabs-sidekick
or find the latest DMG.
- Install and Update
- Complete installation and make sure Sidekick is up-to-date.
- Trigger the Shutdown Popup
- Open Sidekick, create a new tab several times, and wait for a shutdown popup offering a Comet invite.
- If it doesn’t appear, try minimizing, closing, reopening, or opening more tabs. Persistence helps.
- Accept the Comet Invite
- Click the popup, follow the instructions, and claim your Comet invite code.
- For Mac Users
- If you get the code on Windows, just copy it and use it to install Comet on your Mac.
Tips:
- This method works for both Windows and Mac, but not everyone gets the popup.
- If you don’t see it, try restarting or updating Sidekick.
- The original Reddit post was removed as some saw it as a scam, but many confirmed it works.
Why This Works
Sidekick is shutting down and partnered with Perplexity to migrate users, so the invite is legit just not guaranteed for everyone.
