Channels & DMs
Channels and DMs, one click from the work
A channel for every team, a DM for every quick question — living in the same sidebar as your projects. No pasting task links into another app all day.
- A channel for every team and project
#design, #dev-team, #client-acme — organized the way your company actually works, public or private.
- DMs with live presence
See who’s online before you ping. Green dot means go.
- Files stay on your storage
Attachments land on your own disk or S3-compatible bucket — not a third-party chat cloud.

Comments & @mentions
Every task is its own thread
Comment where the work is. @mention the one person who can unblock it — they get pinged with the full context already attached: brief, files, checklist, history.
- @mentions that actually reach people
Tag Priya on the exact sub-task. She gets notified — nobody scrolls a 400-message channel.
- Attachments in the conversation
Drop specs, logs, and screenshots straight into the comment thread on any task or sub-task.
- Decisions stay on the record
Six months later, the “why” is still glued to the task — one search away, not lost in chat scrollback.
