CoScreen enables developers to pair program effectively from the comfort of their own environment, with their own tools. Pair programming can be done as effectively for remote teams as if they were sharing the same workstation. Seamlessly rotate duties between driver and navigator in a fraction of a second.
Stuck on something? Maybe a second set of eyes and hands would help. Get on a CoScreen, share your problem with your colleagues, review solutions side-by-side, then fix it together on the fly (learn more).
We've all been there, the massive multi-file feature drop that's landed in your queue for review. Instead of reviewing in isolation, team members can easily walk each other through the design. Reviewers can ask questions and suggest changes immediately, rather than delayed feedback loops in traditional reviews.
Furthermore, a reviewer can run and test the code, and the author can assist with any issues that arrive before the branch lands. CoScreen avoid misunderstandings and an endless back and forth. Everyone gets immediately on the same page and can sort it out on the fly.
Regular check-ins are essential, especially for remote agile teams. Add CoScreen and suddenly everyone can see immediately what everyone has been up to and align faster on what really matters.
Late night incidents aren't fun, but they happen. Copying & pasting logs and text over your favorite messaging app works, but not as well as sharing your terminals while debugging the issues live. With CoScreen, simply drag your terminal application to your shared display and work with your team to make production happy again. And everyone can still keep an eye on the issue tracker.
Effectively coach new team members through best practices, deploys, infrastructure upgrades, triaging, etc. from anywhere. There's nothing quite so effective for onboarding as solving a problem under pressure. CoScreen makes it easy for senior engineers to walk new team members through the solution of a problem, but with out doing the driving. Instead of just being presented with a solution, work on challenges collaboratively, get instant help whenever necessary and learn faster than ever.
Write code together on a whole new level with CoScreen. Seamlessly rotate duties between driver and navigator in a fraction of a second. CoScreen works with any native and web application and everyone of you can pick their own stack and still collaborate without constraints. With CoScreen, two heads are truly much better than one.
Trivial code and design reviews can often be done asynchronously. But once they get complex, frustrations quickly build up due to misunderstandings and an endless back and forth. With CoScreen, everyone gets immediately on the same page and can sort it out on the fly.
Regular check-ins are essential, especially for remote agile teams. Add CoScreen and suddenly everyone can see immediately what everyone has been up to and align faster on what really matters.
Stuck on something? Maybe a second set of eyes and hands would help. Get on a CoScreen, share your problem with your colleagues, they share proposed solutions side-by-side, then fix it together on the fly.
Create a CoScreen for an outage so everyone knows what’s going on 24/7. Get your business back online through a CoScreen war room.
It's widely known that learning becomes much more successful if learners are actively doing something. Instead of just being presented with a solution, work on challenges collaboratively, get instant help whenever necessary and learn faster than ever - no matter if as a new employee or as a student.
Radically different, highly interactive, absolutely intuitive. 2-3x faster than Zoom and Microsoft Teams.
Whether you’re WFH in times of crisis, for the day or as a permanent remote employee, coscreen with your colleagues to get work done more efficiently than ever.
Launch the CoScreen desktop app from Slack or leave it on all the time. It's currently available for macOS, Windows & Linux Support will follow soon.
You share your application windows with your teammates by drag and drop to your extended screen. And the best part, your colleagues can do the same at the same time and it also works with just a single display.
While having a shared team desktop is the foundation for truly natural remote collaboration, CoScreen includes built-in audio chat, too. Simply unmute yourself and you're talking.
Collaborative IDEs are helpful tools for programmers. But you often need to collaborate on much more than code, e.g. on emulators, command line tools and issue management systems. CoScreen enables you to collaborate across all of them and also any other desktop applications.
This illustration was inspired by Clemens Mewald's presentation at the TensorFlow Dev Summit 2018.
Using is CoScreen is easy. Let's answer a few questions you might have before you get started.
CoScreen is currently available for free on macOS, as a private alpha on Windows and soon also on other platforms (request access). If you want to learn how the best teams use CoScreen, read more here.
macOS: yes, as part of our public beta (download - requires macOS Mojave 10.14.6 and above)
Windows: sign up for in-person onboarding to the private alpha
Linux, Mobile, Web: coming soon, sign up for the wait list
We're combining collaborative computing principles which were pioneered by Doug Engelbart & team in the 1960s with remote desktop features, custom high performance video streaming and last but not least our secret sauce to negotiate individually what each user sees and controls.
CoScreen is build on a highly intuitive concept yet getting it right was a long journey requiring us to build dozens of individual prototypes. But now you can collaborate with your peers without being disrupted in your work.
CoScreen is free during the beta phase. But also beyond that we will make sure that there is always an affordable tier for small teams and individuals. Please reach out to us if you have specific questions e.g. regarding enterprise pricing.
Handling your data safely and securely is our top priority. CoScreen gives you more control of what you share than other tools. It uses P2P whenever there are only two participants that can connect directly.
Otherwise it leverages an enterprise-grade, open source video infrastructure (Jitsi) with thousands of servers around the globe which encrypts all video data using DTLS-SRTP, is also HIPAA compatible and in addition, we are planning to release end-to-end encryption in the mid-term.
