Your whole team.
One container.
Share a DevSpace with your team in seconds. See live cursors, edits, and terminal activity — as it happens. No installs, no config, no friction.
See everyone.
Work together.
Every collaborator's cursor appears live in the editor. Watch edits happen in real time — no refreshing, no merging, no waiting. Like Google Docs, inside your dev environment.
Live presence. See who's online, which file they have open, and exactly where their cursor is — in real time.
Conflict-free edits. Changes are applied with CRDT-based sync — no merge conflicts, no lost work, even on simultaneous edits to the same line.
In-editor chat. Talk about the code right where you're writing it. No context-switching to Slack.
One link.
Instant access.
Share your DevSpace with a single link. Your teammate clicks it, chooses their access level, and is inside the same environment in seconds — no account required for read-only sessions.
Role-specific links. Generate separate links for editors, viewers, and terminal-only users. Each link enforces its own permission set.
Expiring links. Set links to expire after a time window or a number of uses. Revoke instantly if needed.
No install required. Collaborators access everything through their browser — editor, terminal, file manager, and live cursors.
Shared terminal.
Watch in real time.
Multiple users can share the same terminal session simultaneously. Watch commands run live as a collaborator types them — perfect for pair debugging, onboarding, and live demos.
Multi-user terminal sessions. Up to 10 users in a single terminal session — with clear attribution of who typed what.
Watch-only mode. Viewers can observe the terminal without being able to type. Great for live walkthroughs and demos.
Join notifications. A non-intrusive join pill appears when a collaborator enters the terminal session — no disruption to your workflow.
Always know who's around. Presence is first-class — see avatars, active files, and cursor positions across the whole team without asking.
File-level presence. See which file each collaborator has open right in the file tree — no guessing what anyone is working on.
Idle detection. Users inactive for 3 minutes show as idle. Their cursor disappears to reduce noise while they're away.
Follow mode. Click a collaborator's avatar to follow their view — your editor scrolls in sync with wherever they are in the file.
Everything a team needs.
All collaboration features are available on every plan — no extra add-ons required.
Live Cursors
See every collaborator's cursor in real time, color-coded with their name tag. Cursors appear instantly and move smoothly as teammates navigate the editor.
CRDT File Sync
Changes sync across all connected clients with zero conflicts. CRDT-based conflict resolution means simultaneous edits to the same line always produce a correct result.
Shared Terminal
Share terminal sessions with your team. Watch commands execute live, or hand control to a collaborator — all from the same browser window.
In-Editor Chat
Talk about code without leaving the editor. Messages are visible inline next to the file you're both working on — no Slack tab required.
Permission Scoping
Viewer, editor, terminal-only, and owner roles. Each link enforces a specific permission set — revoke access from any session in one click.
Follow Mode
Click any collaborator's avatar to follow their view. Your editor scrolls in sync with wherever they are — ideal for code walkthroughs and pair reviews.
Your whole org,
across every DevSpace.
See all active DevSpaces and who's in each one from a single dashboard. Jump into any environment, follow a collaborator, or spin up a new space — all without leaving your browser.

Collaboration
questions
Up to 20 simultaneous collaborators on Professional and Enterprise plans. The free tier supports up to 3 collaborators per DevSpace.
Viewer-role collaborators can join without an account via a share link. Editor and terminal roles require a free Shulker account for authentication and audit purposes.
Every keystroke is broadcast as a small operation and merged at each client using a CRDT algorithm. This means simultaneous edits — even on the same line — are always resolved correctly without conflicts or lost changes.
Yes. File-level presence is shown in the file tree — each open file shows the avatar(s) of who has it open. You can also see their cursor position inside the editor.
Yes. Revoking a collaborator terminates their session within seconds. They are disconnected from the editor, terminal, and file manager instantly — no container restart required.
Each terminal session is scoped to a specific DevSpace and user role. Watch-only viewers cannot type. You can restrict terminal access per collaborator independently of file access.
Presence indicators, live cursors, and the in-editor chat work on mobile. The code editor is best used on desktop — we recommend mobile primarily for viewing and chat.
