@mentions
Mention someone to get their attention in a thread.
Talk, beside the six layers
Messages that stay on topic.
Household threads that live next to the thing they are about: a General thread, a thread for every plan, comments on any item, and polls when the house needs to decide.
Threads
The beach trip has its own thread.
Every household gets a General thread. Every plan gets its own thread, so “who has the cooler?” stays with the beach trip. And any item, a bill, a chore, a document, can have a comment thread of its own.
- A General thread for the whole home
- A thread for every plan
- Comments on any item
The details
Enough chat, not a chat app.
Unread counts
See which threads have something new.
Refreshes while open
New messages appear every few seconds while you have it open.
Polls
Pizza or tacos? Put it to a vote.
Put a question to the household and let everyone vote. Allow one choice or several, set a closing time, and turn on anonymous voting when you want honest answers. Open polls show in Talk and on Home.
- One choice or several
- An optional closing time
- Anonymous polls show the counts, never who voted for what
Where the group chat still wins
Talk is for your household, not your whole extended family or friend group, and it is not a video or voice app. Keep the big group chat for the big group. Use Talk for the running of the home.
Which plans include it
Talk and polls are on every plan. Compare plans.
