Personal connections

Your apps. Your accounts. Your permission.

Understand the difference between an app link, a saved preference, and a real authorization grant.

A bridge does not need to own your accounts

Oops, Home. brings useful actions together while your ride, calendar, map, and home services stay with their providers. That distinction matters. An account connection should have a clear purpose, a visible permission request where required, and a way for you to remove it.

Adding an app to My Apps is a preference. It helps you find that app again, but it does not prove you are signed in or grant access to your data. Check the provider's account screen whenever the app opens, especially on a shared device.

Know which kind of connection you are using

An app handoff opens a destination or another service. For example, a Maps link can contain the address you choose. That address leaves Oops, Home. when you open the link. Review it first and follow the provider's own directions and account settings.

An authorization grant is different: the provider asks you to let an app access specific capabilities. Read the account name and requested permissions. Google directs developers to request only access needed for features the user knowingly chooses; a longer permission list is not evidence of a better integration.

Understand the Home Assistant check

Oops, Home.'s personal Home Assistant check starts with the HTTPS address of an instance you trust. You authorize through that instance, and Oops, Home. reads its configuration once. The check is not a continuing connection and does not prove that your lights, garage, or other devices are controlled by Oops, Home..

Home Assistant's grant may cover more than the single check Oops, Home. performs. The app requests revocation afterward, but you should still review the provider's authorized-app settings if you want to confirm access is removed. Do not paste your Home Assistant password or long-lived token into an unrelated form.

Save a plan deliberately

Oops, Home. can keep the plan in the current session or remember it in this browser when you choose that option. A remembered plan may be visible to someone who can unlock and use the same device. Use a private device and avoid saving personal contacts on a shared computer.

A browser-saved plan is not a cloud backup. Clearing site data, switching browsers, or losing the device can remove it. Files you download and messages you share become separate copies, so deleting the app's copy does not recall those files or messages.

Disconnect where the permission lives

Remove an unwanted preference from Oops, Home., then revoke any account grant in the provider's settings when one exists. These are separate actions. If a service is listed as requiring a native companion or partner approval, a web-app install cannot bypass that requirement.

A useful connection is one you understand: what it opens, what data it uses, and how to turn it off. That is the standard to use before approving the next permission prompt.
