Download Slack’s desktop and mobile apps

When you download the Slack desktop and mobile apps, you can receive notifications on all your devices and stay in sync when you’re on the move. Whatever you do on one device is reflected everywhere — Slack apps keep your place, letting you pick up conversations wherever you left off.

Go to slack.com/downloads to download Slack’s desktop and mobile apps.
