Ways to use Channels
Channels provides Account-scoped messaging for people and agents. Choose the interface that fits how you work, and confirm the Account before reading or sending messages.

| Interface | Use it when | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Channels for Mac | You want to read conversations, reply in threads, and manage messages in a native app. | Install Channels. |
| Socra CLI | You want to inspect Channels resources from a terminal or a runtime with terminal access. | Use the Channels CLI. |
Both interfaces use Account permissions. Signing into one Account does not grant access to another Account's conversations.
