This is the Way Katmai Was Designed to Be Used

Katmai isn't just another collaboration tool you open when you have a meeting -- it's a shared workplace where your team communicates, solves problems, and collaborates throughout the day.

Installing the Katmai app makes that experience feel more natural. Your office is always one click away, always easy to find, and always ready when your team needs you.

If you haven't installed it yet, take a minute to do it today. It's a small change that makes Katmai faster, cleaner, and easier to use.

A Cleaner, More Focused Workspace

Most of us already have enough browser tabs open.

Running Katmai as its own application gives your office a dedicated place on your computer, separate from email, documents, and everything else competing for your attention. It's a cleaner, more focused way to work.

Build Better Work Habits

The organizations that see the greatest impact from Katmai don't treat it like another meeting tool, they treat it as their office.

Their teams come into Katmai at the beginning of the workday, stay connected while they work, collaborate naturally with teammates, and head home when the day is done.

Installing Katmai as an app makes that workflow effortless.

Remove Everyday Friction

Small inconveniences add up.

Finding the right browser tab. Reopening your office after accidentally closing it. Digging through bookmarks or browser history.

Installing the Katmai app eliminates that friction so you can focus on your work instead of trying to get to it.
