Direct Messaging
1:1 and group chats with file sharing
Message a peer directly or pull up to 32 researchers into a group thread, share files up to 25 MB, and react to individual messages.
Built for the way research actually happens
Direct messaging is the private side of the Lounge. Message a peer directly or pull up to 32 researchers into a group thread. Share files up to 25 MB per file, drag images inline, and react to individual messages with a single tap.
Threads are end-to-end encrypted between participants. Mute noisy threads, archive old conversations, and report anything that violates community standards. Direct messages are never indexed for public search and are never used to train AI models. Your private conversations stay private.
