OneHop for desktop
Know who you're close to, without us ever storing your messages.
We never store your messages. Unless you turn on relationship context, OneHop sees only the touchpoints: who you were in touch with, when, how often, and who reached out. That's all it takes to show who you're close to and who you've drifted from.
- We never store your messages. Photos, voice notes and files never leave your computer. If you turn on relationship context, the app also sends each day's messages to be read by an AI model, then deleted straight away. We keep only coded signals like "made plans to meet", never the words.
- Touchpoints by default. Who you were in touch with, when, how often, and who reached out first. That's what relationship strength is built from, plus relationship context if you turn it on.
- Your computer, your choice. You switch on each app yourself, on your own computer. Pause it, switch a source off, or delete what it brought in, any time.
Opening it the first time
On a Mac, OneHop opens straight away. On Windows and Linux, this early version asks you to confirm once:
- Windows: if SmartScreen appears, choose More info, then Run anyway.
- Linux: the install command below needs nothing more. For the AppImage, right-click it, open Properties → Permissions and allow it to run as a program (or run
chmod +x OneHop-*.AppImage), then open it.
After that it opens normally.
Linux
On Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora or openSUSE, one command adds OneHop's signed package repository and installs the app. After that it updates with the rest of your system.

Questions
What does it do?
It keeps your relationships current without you importing anything again. Each time you're in touch with someone in a messaging app you've switched on, OneHop notes that it happened, when, and who reached out, so relationship strength and "who you've gone quiet on" stay accurate. Your messages are never stored.
Do you read or keep my messages?
We never store your messages. By default OneHop sees touchpoints, not conversations: who you were in touch with, when, how often, and who sent each message. Photos, files and voice notes never leave your computer. If you turn on relationship context, the app also sends each day's messages to be read by an AI model, then deleted straight away. We keep only coded signals like "made plans to meet", never the words. It's off unless you turn it on. Read OneHop for desktop in the Privacy Policy.
Which messaging apps can I use?
You choose inside the app, one at a time, on your own computer. For example: Messages on a Mac (with your permission in System Settings), or a WhatsApp account you link by scanning a code with your phone. Each one explains what it involves before you switch it on, and you can leave any of them off.
Does my computer need to be on?
Only to stay current. While your computer is awake, OneHop syncs in the background. When it sleeps or is off, nothing is lost: next time it wakes, OneHop catches up on its own. Some sources sign out a linked computer that hasn't been used for a few weeks; the app tells you if that happens.
Does it message anyone for me?
No. OneHop for desktop never sends, posts, replies or reacts on any service. It only keeps track of who and when.
How do I stop it?
Pause or quit it from the menu bar (or system tray), switch off a single source in the app, or remove the computer in Settings → Sources on the website. Imported history stays in your account until you delete it there, which takes one click.
Is it free?
Yes, it's included with your OneHop account.
OneHop is not affiliated with, endorsed by or a partner of Apple, Meta, Google or LinkedIn. Their names are used only to describe accounts you can choose to connect on your own computer.
