iMessage
Local CommunicationYour messages, understood, with no account, key, or cloud.
Messages already lives on your Mac, so Halo doesn't need to connect to anything. With your permission, it reads your message history right from your Mac (read-only), so your conversations become searchable and Halo knows the context when you ask about them.
It can send, too: tell Halo to message someone and it goes out through the Messages app itself, after you confirm. It recognizes the people you talk to and quietly surfaces unread messages that look like they matter.
Capabilities
What Halo does with it
- Reads your message history on-device (read-only), so conversations are searchable
- Knows the thread when you ask "what did mom say?"
- Sends messages through the Messages app, with a confirmation first
- Recognizes the people you talk to
- Surfaces unread messages that look worth your attention
How it connects
Built into your Mac.
- 01
Nothing to sign in to
Halo works with iMessage through the same built-in macOS capabilities Apple's own apps use. There's no account to connect and no key to store.
- 02
macOS asks first
The first time Halo needs access, macOS shows its own permission prompt. You decide, and you can revoke it any time in System Settings.
- 03
Nothing leaves your Mac
Reading, writing, and understanding all happen on your device. There is no server involved, not even ours.
What stays private
There is no account, no key, and no server. Halo reads Messages data directly on your Mac after you grant macOS's own permission, and never modifies it. Nothing about your conversations leaves the machine.
