Talk into your phone. KeptMind listens, sorts your thoughts into clear next steps, and nudges you only when it matters.
Slack is where ADHD adults lose tasks: a message arrives, you mean to act on it, it scrolls off screen. The KeptMind Slack integration captures that moment before the message disappears. One emoji reaction or one slash command is all it takes — the message becomes a structured task in your KeptMind Today list, with sender and channel saved as context.
Add the KeptMind Slack app to your workspace. To capture a task from a message, react with the KeptMind emoji (⚡) or use /keptmind in any channel. The message text becomes a KeptMind task with the sender and channel saved as context.
The captured task appears in KeptMind's Today or inbox for triage. You can add a due date, energy level, or priority directly from the Slack notification — no need to open the KeptMind app to finish the capture.
For threaded messages, the integration captures the specific message you reacted to plus a link back to the thread, so context is preserved without copying the entire conversation.
Slack's threading and notification model creates a specific ADHD failure mode: you see a message that requires action, you mean to respond after finishing the current task, and the message scrolls out of view. The "unread" count grows, and the specific message becomes unfindable.
Capturing the task at the moment you see the message — with one emoji reaction — externalizes the obligation before it is lost in thread noise. KeptMind holds it until you are ready to act; Slack holds the conversation context.
For users in chat-heavy environments (consulting, customer support, agency work) where 100+ Slack messages a day is normal, the integration is the difference between a half-functional Slack workflow and a sustainable one. The capture flow takes 2 seconds; the alternative is a recurring "I forgot to reply" cycle that erodes trust.
KeptMind tasks captured from Slack are private by default — they go to your personal KeptMind inbox, not to a shared team board. This is intentional: the capture is for your own action items, not for project management.
For shared task tracking, KeptMind integrates with Notion and Google Calendar where team members can see deliverables. Slack capture feeds your personal KeptMind queue; you decide what surfaces to shared systems.
For project leads who want team-wide capture from Slack, a shared workspace integration is on the roadmap. Today, each user installs and authorizes the KeptMind app independently, and captures stay private to that user.
Workspace install requires admin permission on the Slack side. Once installed, individual users opt in by authorizing the KeptMind app for their account. The opt-in is per user; admins do not control which users can use the integration once it is installed.
The KeptMind app reads only the messages you explicitly capture (via emoji or slash command). It does not read other channel content or maintain a copy of your Slack history. The minimum-permission scope is intentional.
Disconnecting in Slack stops capture immediately. Existing KeptMind tasks created from Slack remain; new captures stop. Reconnecting picks up where you left off.
For organizations with strict data governance, the integration runs entirely in Slack-hosted infrastructure plus KeptMind's own cloud. The captured message text passes through KeptMind's API for parsing and storage, then never leaves your account. SSO and SAML integration is on the roadmap for enterprise users.
