GitHub
Premium OAuth DeveloperTurn a conversation into an issue.
Connect once and "open an issue for this" works from anywhere. Halo files it in the repository you name, with a title and body drawn from what you were just discussing, and asks before anything is created.
This is the first slice of the GitHub integration; deeper help around pull requests and mentions is on our list.
Premium
A paid capability, part of a Halo plan. The free Mac app stays fully featured on its own.
Capabilities
What Halo does with it
With a Halo plan
- Creates issues in any repository you can write to
- Drafts the title and body from your conversation
- Asks before anything is filed
How it connects
You authorize. Your Mac holds the key.
- 01
Set up Halo's own line
A quick one-time setup gives Halo a dedicated Apple ID, a private line that is just for talking to it. You make it once, the way you would any Apple ID.
- 02
Text it from your iPhone
Message that line from your iPhone like you would text a friend. Your Mac, signed in to the same line, receives it.
- 03
Your Mac answers
Halo reads the text on your Mac, thinks on your Mac, and texts you back. The whole exchange rides Apple's end-to-end-encrypted iMessage.
What stays private
Your GitHub key lives in the macOS Keychain and requests go from your Mac to GitHub directly. Halo's servers never see your code or your repositories.
