Slack for Desktop gives you a shared place for team messages, calls, and documents. It suits you if your work involves regular coordination with colleagues.

What you get
Keep your team’s conversations, documents, and decisions together.
Slack for Desktop gives you one place to talk with colleagues and keep work discussions organized. You can separate conversations by topic or project, message a person or group directly, or call teammates when talking is easier than typing. That helps you follow the discussions relevant to your work without mixing every project into one conversation.
You can share and edit documents with colleagues, then search archived conversations and files when you need to recover context or find something someone shared. Connecting services you already use, such as Google Drive, Dropbox, or Asana, brings those tools into your team’s workflow.
You also get control over Slack’s notifications, so you can adjust which updates interrupt you. If your team already works in Slack, the desktop app gives you a place to participate from your Mac.
