How can we help?

A Mac running macOS 26 or later.

Accessibility is recommended: it lets Hopper see your windows and tabs and switch apps. Full Disk Access is optional and adds browser history, bookmarks, Notes and Messages. macOS also asks once per browser before Hopper reads its tabs. Hopper works without any of them, but sees much more with them.

Turn off Spotlight’s shortcut in System Settings ▸ Keyboard ▸ Keyboard Shortcuts ▸ Spotlight, or record a different key for Hopper in its Settings.

Yes. Switch Hotkeys hands Hopper’s hotkeys and gestures to Raycast and takes them back. The menu bar item tells you which app has them.

Open Hopper’s Settings and go to Shortcuts. Click a shortcut and press the keys you want. You can record any combination.

Open System Settings ▸ Privacy & Security ▸ Automation and allow Hopper for Chrome or Safari, and check that Accessibility is on for Hopper. Private and incognito windows are never shown.

Chrome and Safari tabs, bookmarks, Claude Code, Codex and Cursor, Notion, Obsidian, Apple Notes, your editor’s recent files, Slack, Messages, Contacts, Calendar, Reminders, Music, TV, and your apps, windows and files. Personal ones are off until you switch them on.

Press ⇥ in Hopper to move between Search, the app you’re in and Agents. The text you typed stays put.

Hopper keeps your search when you close it, so you can pick up where you left off. Press Esc to start fresh.

Yes. Hopper reads the text in your screenshots with on-device text recognition, so you can search for any word in them.

Select the result and press ⌘K.

Press ⌃⌥← to go Back to the place you were before, in any app: the exact tab, doc, window or session. ⌃⌥→ goes Forward again.

Toggle (double-tap ⌘) flips between your two most recent apps. Toggle Tab (double-tap ⌥) flips between your two most recent tabs, windows or sessions, even inside one app.

30 days by default. You can make it 7 or 90 days, or clear it whenever you like. Press and release ⌃⌘ to see it.

Yes. Recently Closed keeps tabs that closed while their browser kept running, and reopens them in the same browser.

Claude Code, the Claude app, Codex and Cursor, plus agents running in herdr. Press ⌥Space to see them all.

Needs You: stopped to ask you something. Done: finished since you last looked. Working: busy right now. Idle: nothing new. Once you’ve seen a Done agent, it moves to Idle.

Claude Code and Claude say when they stop to ask you something, so Hopper can show Needs You for them. Codex and Cursor show Working, Done and Idle.

No. Hopper reads each agent’s own files on your Mac. Nothing is installed into Claude Code, Codex or Cursor.

Window commands have no shortcuts until you set them. Type a command in search (“left half”), give it a hotkey, or import a preset.

Yes, in one go. Hopper tells you first if one of them is already taken, like ⌃⌥← and ⌃⌥→, which are Back and Forward.

It’s off until you turn it on in Hopper’s Settings. It skips anything your password manager marks as secret, and you choose how long entries are kept.

Type a snippet’s keyword in any app and it becomes the snippet’s text. Snippets never expand in password managers or excluded apps.

No. Hopper reads, stores and searches everything on your Mac. The one exception is Online Lookups: for Hulu and Netflix links it fetches the public page, signed out, to name the episode. Turn it off in Settings ▸ Privacy ▸ Online Lookups.

Exclude it in Settings ▸ Privacy. An excluded app is never indexed or recorded, and won’t show up in search, Back or Clipboard History.

No. Incognito and private browser windows never reach Hopper.

Hopper is in private testing. Join the waitlist and we’ll email you when there’s a build for you. One email when Hopper is ready, nothing else.
