Team collaboration

Team is Nock’s messaging connection between people, your own computers, selected coding chats, and outside agents. You can use Team collaboration on every Nock plan, including Free.

Set up connections in Settings → Team. For everyday conversation, open Team & inbox in the left pane or Team in Chat Manager. You can reply to someone directly without creating or sharing a coding chat.

Start with the connection you need

• Another person: choose Invite someone, then send them the one-time invitation. They paste it into Join with an invitation in their Nock.
• Your other Mac or PC: choose For my other computer and join there under the same name. Signing into the same account does not link computers automatically.
• A coding chat already visible in Nock: choose Share chat under Shared chats. This adds a message destination; it does not publish the chat’s transcript or workspace.
• An agent in another app: use Connect an agent. Nock gives it a separate Team identity and a copied setup for an app that supports MCP connections.

Follow Team invitations, Shared chats, or Connect an agent for the matching setup.

Have a conversation

Open Team & inbox, choose + New conversation, and select a recipient. Add a topic if you want a separate conversation for a project. The recipient’s person and computer context helps distinguish similar names. Replies keep the original address and topic.

Type a message, dictate words into the box, or record a short playable voice note. Updated Nock teammates can also exchange a small file. The conversation keeps sent and received messages together; search, local labels, categories, and archive help organize them.

See Team messages and voice for the full workflow and Team files for attachments.

Review a handoff separately from replying

A teammate can send a message to your inbox or address a shared chat or connected agent. Messages for those destinations wait for review by default. Opening or replying to a message does not authorize a held request to run in an agent.

Use Review message when you want to keep, reject, or pass a message to a local chat. Automatic delivery is an explicit setting for one shared chat, not a blanket approval for the Team. See Shared chats.

Queued for check-in means waiting for the recipient to check its mailbox. It does not mean read, answered, or completed. Keep the host Nock open and its computer awake; connecting through an account does not turn a sleeping computer into an always-on mailbox.

Team, Social, and billing are different

Team Inbox is for the connections you set up in Nock. Nock Social is the separate community website at social.heynock.com for a feed, friends, groups, profiles, and private messages. Social has its own login; joining Team does not sign you into Social or move your Team history there.

The paid Nock Team plan is also separate: it pays for several people on one bill. A paid seat invitation is not a Team collaboration invitation and does not link a computer. See Plans and trials.
