Primarily, it sits as its own entry in your task switcher, and can show the number of pending alerts you have. It also uses OS native notifications, though I know that's increasingly possible through the web too.

When I did use Slack to communicate with remote coworkers. I just kept a tab open - with notifications turned on. Most of the time I was working with three monitors anyway.

Now that I only use Slack to communicate with former coworkers I just keep it on my phone.
