Your server sends to Apple and Google itself, with the message's words inside. Nobody counts your notifications, and reading on one device clears the others.
Search without the accents
Type tien and find tiền. The whole history, file names included, narrowed by person, room, date and files.
A record nobody can quietly bend
Nothing is deleted on a clock. When the owner reads a private conversation, it takes a written reason and lands in a trail everyone who runs the workspace reads.
One app on every screen
The browser, Mac, Windows, Android and iPhone all draw the same app, so a new feature reaches every screen the same day.
Calls that ring like calls
Voice and video between two people, over your own server. A locked iPhone rings through CallKit, a locked Android phone shows a full call screen.
Opens with no signal
In a browser, on a desk and on Android the app opens offline and shows the newest messages of your last rooms, then catches up.
Talking
Rooms for teams, threads for side questions.
Everything a company says during the day, kept readable.
Five kinds of roomPublic and private channels, direct messages, group conversations, and announcement channels.
Announcements nobody can muteNobody can mute or leave an announcement channel, and by default only owners and admins post in it.
Threads"Reply in thread" keeps a side question out of the room; follow a thread to hear its replies, or "Also send to the channel".
Replies and quotesReply to a message, "Quote it", or forward it to another room or person with a note.
ReactionsThe whole emoji set, with the eight you use most first, drawn the same on Windows, Android and the desktop app.
FormattingBold, italic, strikethrough, code with colouring by language, quotes, lists and named links.
MentionsName a person with @, or the room with @channel; @here reaches only the people who have the app open.
Edit, with the history keptEdit within the workspace's window; "Edit history" shows every earlier version, "As it was sent" first.
A deleted message leaves a line"Lan deleted a message" stays in its place, and an owner can put the message back from the Trash.
Pin and keep"Pin to the channel" for everybody; "Keep this" bookmarks it for you on the Kept page.

Typing and presenceWho is typing, and who is online or away: one state across all of a person's devices.
A status of your own"In a meeting", "Out for lunch", "Working from home" or your own words, cleared after the time you choose.

Who came and wentA quiet line says who joined the channel and who added them.
Finding

Built for a workspace with dozens of rooms and years of history.

Calls
Voice and video, on your own server.
Between two people, with no outside call service involved.
One button to callIn any conversation; turn the camera on from inside the call.
Rings like a phone callA locked iPhone rings through CallKit; a locked Android phone shows a full call screen with Decline and Answer.
Every device ringsAnswer on any of them and the others stop ringing.
A ring of its ownThe same ring on every device, so a call never sounds like a message.
Phone, loudspeaker, headphones, BluetoothChoose where to hear the call on a phone.
Video that keeps out of the wayYour own picture in a corner you can drag; make the call small and read a room beside it.
Missed calls are noticed"Missed call from Lan" on the phone, and a line in the conversation that counts as unread.
Your own relayCalls between networks go through a relay on your own server; nothing passes through an outside service.
Work

A to-do list that answers whoever gave the job out.

Give somebody a jobA title, detail, who it is for, by when, and the room it belongs to.
Yours to do, You gave outGrouped as Today and tomorrow, Later, Overdue and No date.

Due dates that reach youThe server's own clock sends the reminder, whether or not anybody opens the app.
Change it or take it awayFrom the job's card; nothing is destroyed.
Who may give workA workspace can let only admins give work to others, while anybody takes a job on themselves.
Notifications

A tab bar under the thumbHome, Messages, Activity and Work.

The trailSign-ins with the address and device, accounts and roles, rules, machines, and every look, read by owners and admins.
