Teamtype

What Teamtype is

Teamtype is free software for real-time peer-to-peer collaborative editing of local files. People can use their own text editors or other tools, edit files at the same time and see collaborators’ cursors, selections and changes. It can synchronize whole directories, with most files included except those ignored by the project. The project describes uses such as pair programming, brainstorming and shared notes. Connections are encrypted and peer to peer, with no server required; users can also run a peer on a public server as a cloud host. Content remains on disk when offline, and changes can sync later, except that offline support is disabled for directories in Git repositories with a configured remote. Teamtype requires no account and says it does not access user data, train AI on it, show ads or track users. Plugins are listed for Neovim and VS Code/Codium, with community support for JetBrains IDEs and TeXstudio. It runs on Android, Linux, macOS and Windows, among other listed options. The maintainers say bugs remain and maintain the project in their free time.
