What’s new

New features and improvements in Modak, collected by date.

New

Switch between workspaces from the left rail

Every workspace you've joined shows in the left rail. A dot appears when something new arrives elsewhere, and a number when someone mentions you. Drag icons to reorder them, press ⌘/Ctrl+number in the desktop app to jump straight there, and on your phone switch from the left drawer.

New

Track work on a kanban board

Write cards on a board and drag them between columns. Add an assignee and a due date, and everyone in the workspace sees the same board. Start from Boards in the left rail.

New

A team wiki for shared docs

Keep meeting notes, checklists and rules as docs. Opening one shows a clean page, and Edit gives you formatting buttons — no Markdown needed. Find it under Docs in the left rail.

New

Now in Vietnamese, Indonesian, Thai, Filipino and Malay

Southeast Asian teams can now use Modak in their own language. Pick a workspace language in settings, or choose “Auto” to follow each person’s device language. Message translation and document summaries come out in the same language.

Improved

Preview PPT, Word, Excel and HTML attachments right in the app

Preview documents exactly as they look in the desktop app without downloading them. HTML attachments are rendered safely like a page, and you can switch to the source view.

Improved

Reactions no longer disappear when you lose connection

Emoji reactions you tap while offline wait in a queue and are sent automatically once you reconnect. When you come back to the screen, the network is rechecked right away.

Improved

Scrolling up through old messages is smoother

We load the next messages and preview images before you reach them, so scrolling up never stalls.

Improved

Message tools are now a tidy set of six

Only the favorites — reactions, emoji, reply, forward and save — show up front. The rest (mark unread, remind me, edit, copy, translate, report and more) live in the ⋮ menu.

New

The phone app’s tab bar now has a glass lens

When you switch tabs, a glass pill slides along with your finger, and pulling down refreshes. We polished both iPhone and Android to feel more natural.

Improved

Moving from Slack is now safer and faster

Posts from bots and apps come along too, and even huge histories move over in batches without losing a single message.

New

Call Modak from the AI apps you already use

With “Connect AI apps”, other AI apps can safely read and write your Modak channels and conversations. It is free by default.
