Threads

Every chat with June is a thread, and the sidebar keeps them in order: what you are working on at the top, what is done out of the way, and replies tucked under the message they answer.

Shelves

The sidebar sorts your threads onto three shelves:

• Pinned: threads you pinned, at the top until you unpin them or they settle. Each shows a pin at its end, and a line separates them from the active threads.
• Active: everything open, newest activity first.
• Settled: threads you are done with. The shelf folds away and shows how many it holds; open it to see them.

Each thread takes one line: a mark for where it lives, its title, then its state. A thread in a project that has an icon starts with that icon. Otherwise one in an organization starts with the organization's logo, and one in your own project with two letters from the project's name. Hover the mark to see where the thread lives, or click it to open its project, or the organization when it is in none. Your own chats outside a project have no mark.

A thread June is working on shows a spinner and how long it has been working. One June replied to while you were elsewhere shows its title in bold and a dot beside the time it replied, until you open it. Threads that do not need you are lighter.

The row at the top of the sidebar searches your threads, their messages and the app's pages (⌘K) and starts a new chat. Once you have a project or an organization, the folder button between them shows only one place's threads (⌘⇧P).

The pen starts a new chat right away, in the place the sidebar is showing, or in Personal when it shows every place. The arrow beside it, or ⌘⇧O, asks first: choose Personal, a project or an organization, and the chat starts there. If the sidebar was showing only one place, it switches to the new chat's place, or back to every place for Personal.

The thread menu

Open a thread's menu from the arrow next to its title at the top. Right-click a thread in the sidebar for the same menu without Share.

Invoice 1042 follow-up

• Settle
• Mark as unread
• Rename
• Pin
• Share

• Settle moves the thread to Settled (⌘⇧A); Unsettle brings it back. Settling a pinned thread unpins it. Settling a thread also settles its replies, except those you pinned, have not read yet, or June is still working on.
• Mark as unread marks it unread again, to come back to.
• Rename changes its title (⌘⇧R). Clicking the title does the same.
• Pin keeps it on the Pinned shelf; Unpin returns it to Active.
• Share makes a public link; see Share a conversation.

Hover a thread in the sidebar for one-click pin and settle buttons.

Settle on its own

A thread you have read and left idle settles on its own after 72 hours, pinned or not. To change that, go to Settings and set Settle after to the number of hours you want; 0 turns it off, and threads then stay until you settle them yourself. A thread June is still working on never settles on its own.

Reply in a thread

To follow up on one message without losing the main conversation, hover it and choose Reply in thread. The reply opens beside the conversation, under the message it answers, and anything you had typed in the composer moves with you. A message with replies shows how many; click that to open them again.

In the sidebar, the reply sits indented under the thread it came from, a line joining them. A reply settles on its own, and you can settle it by itself.

Threads June starts

June splits work into a thread of its own when you ask for a separate thread, or when the project's instructions or an agent's skills ask for parallel work. A question that needs research is answered in the thread you asked it in. The new thread can run as one of your agents, or on another model of your ChatGPT or Claude plan, when you ask for it. June may also pick a lighter model of that plan for a light task. The reply shows a link to the new thread; if the thread could not start, the link says so. A child thread links back to the one it came from and sits under it in the sidebar; a side thread stands alone. Either is an ordinary thread you can open, write in, stop and settle.

What threads do not do

• They do not include Slack conversations: the sidebar lists the threads you have on the web and in the app. Reply to a Slack thread in Slack. See Use June in Slack.
• A reply cannot nest more than three levels deep.
