Quill has joined Twitter.

Quill is messaging for people that focus.

We love messaging. It’s our favorite way of collaborating, but not if it’s overwhelming and disorganized. We believe there’s a better way.

We grew exhausted having to skim thousands of messages every day to keep up, so we built a way to chat that’s even better than how we already communicate in person. A more deliberate way to chat. That’s what Quill is all about.

One conversation at a time. Messaging bliss.

Threads keep your conversations discoverable and organized. When you need to stay focused on a topic, use Structured Channels to require each conversation to be its own thread up front.

Revive ideas by sending a new message to a previous conversation. With history just a scroll away, everyone starts off up to date.

Activity Feed

See your most important conversations first. Snooze, archive, or jump back in. Activity Feed always keeps your conversations within reach, so you can quickly catch up on what’s new.

Fewer Notifications

Your phone should only buzz when something is truly important. That’s why Quill reduces notifications, and reserves disruptions for critical or time sensitive messages.

Conversations designed for people, not bots.

Split a conversation if someone goes off-topic. Move it if there’s a better place for it. Reply to specific questions, or start a new conversation from an idea. Quill is designed for better expression of thought.

There’s more to a team than work.

Social Channels are for free flowing chat. No structure required. Roll up messages you’ve already sent into a thread of their own. When you want to share photos from your weekend hike, or talk about the book you’re reading, Quill has Social Channels. Dip in and out of conversations, without requiring threads.

Flip your channels from social to structured, and vice versa, any time. Adapt your level of structure as your needs change.

Retroactive Threads

Create a thread from any set of messages. It happens all the time, someone said something that should be in its own thread. No sweat — grab any set of messages and roll them up.

Replies

Reply directly to a message. For those quick back-and-forths.

Split + Move

Split threads and move messages. If there’s a better home for a topic, move it. Keep things organized and easy to find.

Pinned Messages

Make sure everyone sees what’s important. Pin any message and have it float above the rest.

High fidelity messaging.

Communicate as richly as you do in person. Share files, photos, video, or use powerful integrations. Messaging that’s designed to keep your team connected, without overburdening their day-to-day.

Video Chat. Now with side conversations.

Keep video side-by-side with your chat. Keep sending photos, files, links, ask questions, or have a side conversation, without interrupting the conversation.

Early Access

Quill makes it easy to view any video call, channel, or conversation side-by-side — just open a split view.

Passive Mentions

By default, @-mentions are passive; mentions will add someone to a conversation without sending them a notification. Include people in conversations without disrupting them.

No download.
No account.

Priority Mentions

For urgent messages, use a priority !!-mention. Priority mentions will always send a push notification.

File Sharing

Send large files with accurate real-time progress. No more guessing if your file is going through when you’re on slow WiFi.

Customization

Choose between hundreds of icons and colors — or bring your own. Where you gather online is as personal as your in-person office, so make it feel like home.
