What is Slack? A messaging app for teams.

All your communication in one place, integrating with the tools and services you use every day.

Some of the great uses for Slack

Slack for Group conversations

Talk, share, and make decisions in open channels across your team, in private groups for sensitive matters, or use direct messages one-to-one.

Slack for File sharing

Drag and drop files, documents, PDFs, images, and videos to share with anyone and get immediate feedback and discussion through comments.

Slack for Deep, contextual search

Search across your entire team archives, within documents, files, or images, and filter your results by recency, relevancy, person, and more.

Always in sync

Everything you do on our desktop app is reflected on our fully native iOS and Android apps, and vice versa. Everything is in sync—pick up right where you left off.

Slack uses Over 80 integrations

It’s not ‘yet another app’ you have to use. Slack works with all the tools you already use; set them up to post notifications directly to Slack in a single work space.

Security

All data transfer is encrypted (256-bit AES and TLS 1.2) on the desktop or the phone. We perform security testing regularly to identify and resolve any vulnerabilities.

Slack Channels

Organize your team conversations in open channels. Make a channel for a project, a topic, a team, or anything—everyone has a transparent view of all that’s going on.

Direct Messages

To reach a colleague directly, send them a Direct Message. It’s completely private and secure.

Slack Private Groups

For sensitive information, create Private Groups and invite a few team members. No one else can see or join your Private Groups.

With fully native apps for iOS and Android, whatever you do on one device is reflected everywhere. Everything is in sync. Slack will keep your place so you can always pick up wherever you left off.
