Download the desktop app
Install the Skooh desktop app to forward webhooks to your local machine. It runs in your system tray and connects securely to Skooh.
⚠️ Security Warnings
Your OS may show security warnings—this is normal for newer apps. Skooh is open source and safe to use.
Why you might see warnings: Skooh is a relatively new application, and some security software flags apps that make network connections. We're implementing code signing to improve reputation.See installation instructions →
Configure the proxy
Open the desktop app and enter your credentials. You'll need your Hook Token and API Key:
This is the URL where Skooh will send webhooks. If you're running the desktop client, as long as your computer can access this URL, Skooh will be able to forward webhooks to it.

You need to know where your application expects to receive webhooks. Here are some common examples:
Development frameworks:
http://localhost:3000/api/webhooks/stripe- Next.js app with Stripehttp://localhost:8000/webhooks/- Django/FastAPI apphttp://localhost:4000/webhook- Express/Node.js apphttp://localhost:5000/api/webhook- Flask app

Tip: Log-only mode
Want to see webhooks coming in without forwarding them? Enable "Log only mode" in the Advanced tab. This is great for debugging or monitoring what's being sent to your endpoint.
Tip: Sound notifications
Enable "Play sound on new webhook" in the Advanced tab to hear when webhooks arrive - it's an easy way to know your setup is working!
