Lock in, on your terms
Say what you're working on and choose when you're around, away, or heads-down with notifications muted. Cabal never watches your keyboard or screen.
#cabal-chat
Help each other ship
Share what you're launching, ask for feedback, and make the intro someone needs. Start a team room for your crew. Build your thing, just not alone.
Get Cabal on your desktop
Who's online in your menu bar, a show/hide shortcut, and notifications that know when to keep quiet. It's the same Cabal as the browser version, in its own window.
