DIBS ON STUFF®

Streamline your deployments
with simple chat commands

add Dibs to your Slack or Discord server
(it's quick and free)

Info

Dibs can help you take turns with shared items (eg: staging servers, meeting rooms, parking) using simple commands in Slack or Discord.

Queue up with your co-workers for any shared resource, directly from your chat window.

The basics are free, but there are also advanced features that allow for different workflows.

Dibs was created in 2020, and thanks to its simple design and privacy-first principles, it is trusted by organizations everywhere.

Quick start

Invite Dibs to a chat channel with /invite @dibs
Then claim or queue for an item by typing /dibs on THING into Slack or Discord. If it's available, you get it; otherwise you're placed in queue
Release the item with /dibs off THING to automatically notify the next person that it's their turn
Check the queues with /dibs q to see who's waiting for what

Quality assurance handover

"I'm done testing the slideshow"
/dibs off qa-123

Get notified when it's your turn

"Are you finished with the staging server yet?" /dibs on staging

Bring your pup to work

"Ok to bring Lucy along Thursday?"
/dibs on 🐕 for 1 day

Deal out sales leads fairly

"The next one's for you"
/dibs q adwords

Take turns with office parking
