Automations
Describe what you care about in plain words, the way you'd ask a person. Halo keeps an eye out across your inbox, your chats, a web page, or whatever's on your screen, all on your Mac, and gives you a nudge when something you asked about actually happens.
The line that matters. Halo notifies you and prepares things for you. It never sends, deletes, archives, or buys on its own. You stay in the loop, and in control.
How it works
Tell Halo in plain words what to watch for and what to do. Or build it with a few taps in Settings, no typing needed.
Your inbox, your chats, a web page, or whatever's on your screen. The watching and the thinking both happen locally.
Halo reads each new thing and decides whether it's what you asked for. It understands what you meant, not just a keyword.
A quiet nudge in the notch, a Mac banner, or your phone. It can prepare a draft for one tap. It never sends or deletes on its own.
Examples
You say it the way you'd say it out loud. Halo reads it back so you know exactly what it will do before it starts. Here are the words, and the confirmation.
You say
Watch my inbox and tell me about anything from a customer that needs a reply.
Halo
I'll keep an eye on your inbox, looking for customer messages that need a reply, draft a response, and ping you so you can send it with one tap. I won't send anything on my own.
You say
Watch this headphones page and let me know if the price drops under $80.
Halo
I'll check that page for you, looking for the price dropping under $80, and ping you the moment it does.
You say
Every weekday at 5pm, summarize what happened in my team's Slack.
Halo
On weekdays at 5pm I'll check your Slack and send you one summary in the notch.
You say
Tell me when this page says the tickets are on sale.
Halo
I'll watch that page, looking for the tickets going on sale, and send the alert to your phone.
You say
When I'm in my design tool, flag any comment that mentions me.
Halo
I'll keep an eye on what's on your screen in that app, looking for comments that mention you, and give you a quiet nudge.
You say
Let me know when I have more than five issues assigned to me in Linear.
Halo
I'll keep an eye on Linear, looking for more than five issues assigned to you, and nudge you when it happens.
Where it can watch
The last one is the unlock: if Halo can see it on your screen, it can watch for it, even in an app with no built-in connection.
What it can do
Notify you
A nudge the moment it matters, where you'll see it.
Summarize
Many updates folded into one clean recap.
Tag it
Quietly label what it finds so it's easy to spot later.
Draft a reply
A response in your voice, ready for one tap. You send it.
The boundary
To answer "is it under $80," Halo will read a page more than one way, fetch it, render it, even read the pixels, until it can actually see the price. Then it pings you. It will not buy it.
Seeing more is safe, and it's the whole point of an assistant that lives on your Mac. Sending, deleting, archiving, or buying on your behalf is the thing we deliberately don't do. When something needs sending, Halo prepares the draft and hands it to you. You press send.
Setting one up
Tell Halo what you want in a sentence. It turns your words into an automation and reads back exactly what it will do.
Prefer taps to typing? Pick what to watch, what to look for, and how to be told, all from a simple panel in Settings.
Every automation keeps a log of what it found, so you can look back long after a nudge has scrolled away. Pause, edit, or delete any time.
Set it once
Inbox triage, a price you're waiting on, a quiet end-of-day recap. You describe it, Halo handles the watching, on your Mac, and reaches you when it counts. Nothing leaves your machine, and nothing happens without you.
Privacy, in one line: Halo runs on-device by default. We set a single sign-in cookie, nothing else, and we never track, profile, or sell.
