slack-term is a terminal-based Slack client written in Go that lets you read and send Slack messages without leaving the command line. It offers a vim-style keybinding interface with channel navigation, search, threads, and notifications.

Use cases

• use slack from the terminal
• read and send slack messages without a browser
• vim-style slack client for the command line
• check slack notifications while working in a terminal
• run slack in a tmux or ssh session
• lightweight slack client for linux servers

When to choose

• you live in the terminal and want Slack there too
• you want vim-like keybindings for navigating channels and threads
• you need a lightweight Slack client for SSH or headless environments
• you prefer keyboard-driven chat over a GUI

When to avoid

• you need full Slack features like huddles, calls, or rich file previews
• you prefer a graphical Slack interface
• you need official API support - the project relies on workarounds for Slack token restrictions
• you want an actively developed client with frequent updates
