Control

An AI app can do nothing you couldn’t do yourself.

Off by Default

Nothing connects until you allow it.

This Mac Only

Only apps on your Mac can connect.

Nothing Lost

Deleted links wait 30 days in the Trash.

Asks First

Loop asks before an AI app shares a folder.

Reader Text

Reader notes are never taken as instructions.

Yours Alone

Your licence and captures stay with you.

FAQ

No. Turn on Allow AI Apps in Settings > Account > MCP Server.

Claude Desktop: open Settings > Developer > Edit Config, quit Claude with Command-Q, paste the setup, save and reopen. Claude Code: paste it into a chat and ask it to add Loop. Codex: run codex mcp add loop -- /Applications/Loop.app/Contents/MacOS/loop-mcp in Terminal. Other apps: paste it into their MCP settings.

Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and most Mac apps that support MCP. Claude on the web and on iPhone can’t connect.

Yes, through Codex in the ChatGPT app: Settings > MCP Servers > Add Server > STDIO, with /Applications/Loop.app/Contents/MacOS/loop-mcp as the command. Everyday ChatGPT chats can’t connect.

No. It’s part of Loop, with no account or API key.

Deletes go to the Trash for 30 days, and only you can empty it. Deleting a reader’s data is permanent, except signatures. Your AI app is told to ask first.

Only files it names. Loop refuses whole folders like Documents and hidden files, and asks before sharing a folder.

Loop answers only the app on your Mac. Most AI apps send your chat, including what Loop found, to their own servers, under their own terms.

Turn off Allow AI Apps. Every AI app is shut out at once.

Check Allow AI Apps is on, then reopen your AI app. If you moved Loop, copy the setup again.

Yes, for all 14 days. After that, it can only check setup until you buy.

Try Loop free for 14 days.

Pay once. Yours forever.
