Chat, notifications, and calendar — in context, not in silos
Stop paying for Slack, Calendly, and a notification platform separately. Hutstack Work has real-time communication built in — and every message, alert, and event links to the work it's about.

Communication
Conversations linked to the records they're about
The biggest problem with team chat tools isn't the chat — it's that messages float free of the work. Hutstack ties every discussion, notification, and calendar event to the project, invoice, or task it relates to.
In-app chat that lives where the work lives
Real-time messaging powered by Socket.io with sound notifications. Channels for teams, threads on every record. @mention teammates, share files, and keep every conversation tied to the work it's about.
- Channels and DMs
- Threads attached to projects, invoices, tasks
- File sharing and @mentions
