Install Slack Desktop App Repack (2025)

Product: Slack Desktop App (Version 4.38.xxx) Platforms Reviewed: Windows 11 & macOS Ventura Rating: 4.7/5

After spending three months forcing myself to use only the browser version, followed by a month back on the native desktop app, the verdict is clear:

If you work in tech, media, or virtually any modern office, you don’t choose to use Slack—it is your digital operating system. For years, the debate has raged: "Do I really need to install the clunky desktop app, or can I just keep a pinned tab in Chrome?"

Stop being a browser hero. Install the desktop app. Your CPU will thank you, your response times will improve, and you’ll finally stop missing DMs because you accidentally closed the wrong tab. Do it now.
