Pin a chat to one of your devices

Run /pin-to-instance in a chat, pick a device, and only that device answers there.

  1. In the chat, type /pin-to-instance, and pick a device from the list.
  2. eris confirms it, and your other devices step back.
  3. To unpin, run it again and pick none, and any device may answer.
  • Keep work chats on your work machine, with its tools and credentials, or a project on the device with its repo.
  • If the pinned device is offline, eris says so, and your messages wait for it. They don't move to another device.
  • Pins are kept in your encrypted shared history, so every device agrees.
  • Only you can pin. A device that hasn't been updated ignores pins, so update every device first.

In your eris home, each channel can have a device of its own.
