Linear
Premium OAuth DeveloperIssues created and tracked without leaving your flow.
"File that as a bug" mid-conversation becomes a real Linear issue. Halo creates it, links it, and confirms before anything is written. Paste an issue URL or identifier and it can add a comment for you, too.
Halo also keeps an eye on issues assigned to you and surfaces updates as they happen, and it remembers your issues locally so you can ask about them later without opening Linear.
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 from a conversation, a meeting, or a passing thought
- Adds comments to existing issues by URL or identifier
- Watches issues assigned to you and surfaces updates
- Remembers your issues locally, so you can ask about them later
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 Linear key is stored in the macOS Keychain, and every request goes from your Mac to Linear directly. The issue memory Halo keeps lives on your Mac, where you can browse and delete it.
