Slack’s Catch Up feature is like Tinder for your work messages


Boring team updates? Swipe left. Hot gossip DMs? Swipe right.

When you tap on Catch Up at the top of the app’s homescreen, it’ll show you one channel or DM at a time; swipe left to mark it read, right to leave it unread. Then the stuff they want to get back to at their desktop, they leave it for later.” The swipe-y approach, he says, is an effort to make the process feel fun and easy, not like checking your email or scrolling through yet another feed. Eismann says he doesn’t imagine a card-swiping tool coming to the Slack desktop app anytime soon, but he thinks there’s plenty of opportunity for more triage and organization on your computer.
