Quip For Mac

Placing your documents in the cloud has become a necessity lately given the different devices one uses on a daily basis. The need is even more stringent if you work with other people on the same projects.

Quip is an online service that offers you the possibility to edit text documents and spreadsheets in real time while enabling you to communicate with your team via chat.

The Quip desktop application enables you to take advantage of everything the service has to offer, without having to go through a web browser. The utility resembles greatly the web console but allows you to access the service through a desktop app.

Noteworthy is that you need to sing up for a Quip account first: the free subscription plan comes with extensive limitations, so you might want to consider registering for a business or enterprise plan.

Moreover, considering your documents will be stored in the Quip cloud, you might want to read more about the service’s privacy policy and security measures.

Quip allows you to work in both online or offline mode, making sure to upload all the modifications whenever you connect your Mac to the internet.

On top of the document editing and sharing capabilities, the service also integrates simple chat tools that can help you communicate with your team in no time.

Needless to say, all your team members must register for a Quip account, and you can easily add them to your contact list by providing their email address.

The best part is that Quip can send alerts via the Notifications Center, so you can always know who is trying to contact you, or is working on a project.
