There are dozens of options for sharing notes across devices these days, but if you use Slack, there’s one more. With Slack’s direct message interface, it’s easy to send yourself quick private reminders and notes that you can read later on any device. Here’s how.
First, open Slack using the platform of your choice. This tip works on PC, Mac, Web, iPhone, iPad, and Android. If the sidebar is not visible, open it up and scroll down to the section titled “Direct Messages.”
Find the entry in the direct message list that says your name with “(You)” after it. For example, if your name is Toby McPeterson, you’ll see “Toby McPeterson (You)” on the list. Click or tap on it. The screen will change into a direct message conversation view. But, in this case, you’re not talking to someone else on Slack: this is a private area where you can store notes to yourself.
To write yourself a note, click or tap on the text input area where it says “Jot Something Down,” type something, and hit Enter or tap the “Send” button. It will show up in the Conversation History area above.
