Hookscope on Linux
Build from the open source or run the desktop build on Linux — same pay-once license, no telemetry.
Setup on Linux
Download the installer
Download the latest Hookscope installer from the GitHub Releases page (https://github.com/bensblueprints/hookscope-mvp/releases) — or build it yourself from the MIT source.
Install
Run the installer — one click, no terminal, no account to create.
Run it locally
Hookscope runs 100% on your machine — no account, no telemetry, and it keeps working with the Wi-Fi off.
What works offline: everything. Hookscope is a desktop app — once it's installed, no feature needs a connection to us.
Hookscope on Linux — honest answers
Is it really free on GitHub?
Yes — the full source is MIT at github.com/bensblueprints/hookscope-mvp, always. The $69 gets you the 1-click Windows installer and updates instead of npm i && npm start.
Isn't Pipedream way more than a request bin?
It is — Pipedream is a full workflow-automation platform, and if you need webhooks to trigger multi-step integrations, it's genuinely great. But if you're paying $29/mo mostly to inspect and replay JSON, Hookscope does that part for $69 once.
