# quickstart

Use this page to get dripos running on a Mac. Setup starts by connecting the tools where your customer conversations already happen.

## 1. install

[Download dripos for Mac](https://usedrip.ai/download/mac), open the downloaded file, and move **dripos** to your Applications folder if macOS asks.

Open **dripos** from Applications or Spotlight.

## 2. sign in

Sign in with email or Google. dripos returns you to the Mac app when sign-in is complete.

If macOS asks whether to open dripos from the browser, allow it.

## 3. connect sources

Open **Integrations** and connect the sources you want. You can start with one or two.

| source        | what it adds                                                      |
| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| iMessage      | local Messages history and approved text sends                    |
| Google        | Gmail threads and Calendar meetings                               |
| Slack         | workspace messages, DMs, shared channels, and reply drafts        |
| Stripe        | customer and revenue signals                                      |
| LinkedIn      | local-bridge DMs, group chats, media, history import, and drafts  |
| Meeting tools | Granola and Circleback notes, transcripts, attendees, and actions |
| Scheduling    | Cal.com and Calendly connections for reviewed booking actions     |

iMessage may ask for Full Disk Access. Sending texts may also ask for Messages automation permission.

Fathom, Pocket AI, and Google Messages are not normal first-class setup steps in
the current Integrations screen. Use them only when your build exposes an
explicit control for that source.

## 4. sync

Click **Sync all** in Integrations. Sync runs the supported local sources that are connected. Some sources, such as LinkedIn history import and scheduling tools, use their own explicit actions or reviewed flows.

The first sync can take a few minutes depending on how much history you connect.

## 5. use Inbox

Open **Inbox** and search for a person, company, group conversation, email, phone number, handle, or message text.

Person pages show recent conversations, timeline events, meeting context, revenue signals, and reply drafts when those sources are connected.

Group rows are separate from person rows. Slack channels, Slack threads, iMessage groups, and LinkedIn group chats can show participants, related people, related companies, and sender attribution when the source provides it.

## 6. review drafts

dripos can draft replies for Gmail, Slack, iMessage, and LinkedIn. Drafts stay in the review queue until you approve, reject, or send them.

dripos does not silently send messages.

## LinkedIn troubleshooting

LinkedIn uses a local browser bridge session.

* **local bridge session is missing** means reconnect LinkedIn from **Integrations**.
* **Cooling down** means wait and try later. Repeated reconnect attempts can make throttling worse.
* LinkedIn profile pictures are not fetched aggressively. dripos prefers names, initials, source handles, and already-available contact metadata.
