Pop in on someone you love.
An instant, warm two-way video window to a family member's Mac or Windows PC — for keeping a gentle eye on someone who needs a little extra care. No ringing, no fuss. Just there, like leaning into the next room.
No Mac or PC? Use it in your browser → (iPad too — sign in with Google)
Windows beta is unsigned — if SmartScreen warns, click More info → Run anyway. Feedback welcome.
From download to your first pop-in in about two minutes.
Mac: drag PopIn into Applications and open it (notarized by Apple). Windows: run the installer — it's a beta, so if SmartScreen warns, click More info → Run anyway.
One tap — no new account, no new password. Your email is your identity.
Add a trusted person's Google email. Only the people you authorize can ever pop in — and you can remove anyone in one click.
One click opens a warm, full-screen video window. Or glance first for a silent peek, just to see all's well.
The Mac or PC you'll be checking in on does best with a one-time setup so it's always ready — even after a restart. PopIn's built-in Setup guide walks you through each step.
Mac asks on first open; on Windows, make sure desktop apps can use the camera/mic in Privacy settings. One time, and pop-ins always connect.
Turn on in Settings so the computer stays online for a pop-in (keep it plugged in, lid open).
So if it ever restarts, it comes right back on its own — no one has to be there to log in. (Mac: FileVault off. Windows: enable auto sign-in via netplwiz.)
New in the app: a Setup Guide that detects what's done and walks you through the rest. ✨
Nobody can pop in unless you explicitly authorize their email — and you can revoke it instantly. Video is a direct, encrypted link between your computers — Mac or Windows. PopIn is a care tool, made for families.
