there.
OPEN SOURCE / TERMINAL SHARING v3.0.0 ↗
Your terminal,
shared.
Work in the same terminal, from anywhere.
Start a session on your machine. Invite someone over SSH, or let them follow along in a browser. Your shell, your tools, together.

ONE SESSION YOUR TERMINAL MORE THAN ONE PAIR OF HANDS
01 / THE IDEA HOST → GUEST
How it works.
Keep working where you already work. tmtv connects people to a shared tmux session without asking them to change their setup.
Invite
Share a read-write token for a collaborator, or a read-only token for an observer.
Work together
Guests connect with SSH. Enable web sharing when a browser is more convenient.
02 / GET STARTED
Install tmtv.
Install tmtv, then run tmtv. Your guests don't need to
install it to join over SSH.

03 / THE DETAILS BUILT FOR REAL WORK
Sharing, on your terms.
Pair on a fix, walk through a command, or invite another set of eyes. Choose how each person joins.
Explore self-hosting ↗Read-write or read-only
Separate tokens let you invite someone to type or simply watch. Browser sharing and browser input are opt-in.
Your choice of relay
Use the public service or run your own. The relay processes terminal data, so choose one you trust.
Familiar tmux, shared
Windows, panes, colour and Unicode travel with the session. Version 3.0 is built on tmux 3.8.
What's new in 3.0 ↗A note on access. Treat session tokens as credentials. Named public URLs are not a substitute for a password. SSH transport is not end-to-end encryption through an untrusted relay.
