Connect an IMAP mailbox

Use an app password (not your normal password) — generate one here.

Add a source

Zipppo pulls email itself. Anything else — WhatsApp, Discord, SMS, old chat archives — you archive on your own machine with a small open tool and pipe into your index. Get the tool from the guide, then run the one-liner below to connect it — your token is baked in.

Zipppo does not connect to WhatsApp or any messaging service. If you choose to pipe messages in using a third-party tool, that's your account and your responsibility, including any risk to it under that service's terms.

Connect Telegram

Zipppo reads your chats with Telegram's official API. That needs a personal API key — a one-time, 2-minute setup (it looks like a developer form, but it's just how Telegram issues keys):

  1. Open my.telegram.org and sign in with your Telegram phone number. The confirmation code arrives in your Telegram app (not SMS).
  2. Click API development tools.
  3. Fill the short “create application” form — anything works:
    • App title — Zipppo
    • Short name — zipppo
    • Platform — Desktop
    • URL — leave empty
    • Description — leave empty
    Click Create application.
  4. Copy the App api_id and App api_hash it shows you into the fields below.

If Telegram answers “ERROR” when creating the app, wait a few minutes and retry (it's a known Telegram quirk — a VPN can also trigger it). Already created one before? Reuse it — the same page shows your existing api_id and api_hash.
