Sandboxed Sharing

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

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

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.
