Microsoft Teams
Premium OAuth CommunicationSend, recall, and stay on top of chats.
Connect your work account once and Halo can send Teams messages for you (direct chats and channels alike) and tell people apart by name, including "#channel" shorthand when the channel name is unambiguous.
Halo also keeps a local, searchable memory of your recent chats, so "what did Priya say about the launch?" has an answer without you digging through tabs. It quietly refreshes its own access in the background, so the connection just keeps working.
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
Free, on your Mac
- Reads the chat you're looking at (on your Mac, via macOS accessibility), so suggestions and autocomplete follow the thread
- Drafts replies in your voice, right where you're typing
With a Halo plan
- Sends direct and channel messages for you, with a confirmation first
- Resolves teammates and channels by name
- Keeps a local, searchable memory of recent chats
- Surfaces unread chats that look worth your attention
- Keeps its own access fresh, with no re-connecting every hour
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 Teams key lives in the macOS Keychain and requests go from your Mac to Microsoft directly. Chat history Halo remembers is stored on your Mac, where you can browse and delete it.
