Sometimes you need a private conversation. Nestr's direct messaging lets you reach any colleague instantly for one-on-one discussions that do not belong in a circle feed.
How does direct messaging work in Nestr?
Access your messages from anywhere in Nestr via the messaging tab. Search for colleagues, start conversations, and get notified when they respond. Direct messages are private between you and the recipient, separate from all circle feeds and project discussions.
When should you use direct messaging?
While transparency is a core principle of self-organisation, not every conversation belongs in a circle feed. Use direct messaging for sensitive topics, personal feedback, or quick one-on-one coordination that does not need to be visible to the whole circle.
