A direct line, on your desk.

The Hotline desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It’s the same Hotline you use on the web, in its own window — and it’s free.

  • Keeps itself up to date, the way a browser does
  • New features arrive on their own — no reinstalling
  • Opens Hotline links in the app, not another tab
