Built for Audio Professionals

Everything you need for secure, high-quality remote collaboration on music and audio projects.

Sandboxed Sharing

Share only your DAW — not your email, browser, or personal files. App-based permissions ensure complete privacy.

Granular Control

Choose exactly what collaborators can do: view only, interact with controls, or full mouse and keyboard access.

Real-Time Streaming

Low-latency video and audio streaming with adaptive quality. Works from any browser — iOS, Android, or desktop.

DAW Optimized

Pre-configured for Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Ableton, Cubase, and all major DAWs. Just install and share.

Mobile Ready

Connect from any device with a browser. Perfect for quick reviews on your iPhone or iPad while away from the studio.

End-to-End Secure

WebRTC peer-to-peer encryption, session passwords, and automatic security blocklists protect sensitive content.

How It Works

1

Host Starts Session

Run the CoFader host agent on your studio machine. It generates a unique session ID.

2

Share the Code

Send the session ID to your collaborator. They can connect from any browser or the desktop app.

3

Collaborate Live

Your collaborator sees your DAW in real-time. They can view, listen, or control based on your permissions.

Works with Every DAW

Pre-configured for all major digital audio workstations. Just install and start sharing.
