CodeTogether is built to give teams options. It’s a diverse IDE world, enjoy it.

Pair programming around the office or around the globe

CodeTogether is the perfect blend of functionality and simplicity, designed by a team of remote developers that rely on collaboration. Whether you are on an Agile team that uses pair programming as part of your regular software development flow or just use pair programming for the occasional troubleshooting session, CodeTogether is the best tool for pair programming, and mob programming too! If you’ve been using screen sharing or an online code editor for collaborative coding, you’ll be amazed at the difference!

Z

Mirrors Your Favorite IDE

Host a pair programming session from Eclipse, VS Code or IntelliJ. Collaborators don’t need to be familiar with your IDE—they simply select the theme and key bindings of their preferred IDE when joining from a browser.

Z

Join from Any Browser

Share a link and teammates can join a pair programming session from any modern browser—no registration, download or installation required. Just start typing when you want to contribute, it’s really that easy!

Z

4% CPU of Screen Sharing

Get a nice IDE-like experience without the resource drain you get from screen sharing tools. CodeTogether requires minimal network bandwidth and consumes only 4% of the CPU load associated with screen sharing.

Z

Corporate Level Security

Projects remain on your computer—only required data is relayed to participants and our backend using full end-to-end source encryption. An on-premises version is also available that keeps all source behind your firewall.

In-Browser Coding Intelligence

CodeTogether delivers key IDE functionality so you can do real coding. Much more than just a shared code editor, you get content assist, quick fixes, code navigation, formatting, references, workspace searching and more.

Z

Stay Together or Code Alone

Everyone gets to choose whether to code on their own or as part of a group, and it’s a breeze to switch between groups and coding alone. And since no one sees your desktop, it’s safe to multitask during the session.

A Tale of Two Coders

The best of times with CodeTogether, the worst of times with screen sharing

Host a session in seconds

Sometimes it’s nice to get a little help from your friends, but not if it means disrupting your flow. After adding CodeTogether to your Eclipse, VS Code, or IntelliJ, it only takes a few seconds to start a collaborative coding session. Simply share the session’s link with anyone you like. They join the session with any modern web browser and you get to stay in the IDE you are comfortable with.

Language smarts in the browser

For real pair programming, you want more than a simple collaborative code editor. CodeTogether participants benefit from the host IDE’s language smarts, with content assist (aka IntelliSense) and as-you-type validation across the workspace. You can format code in a snap, and the Problems view lists all errors and lets you easily navigate to the referenced files.

Navigate projects with ease

Although you access the shared project from a browser, you have a variety of familiar ways to navigate the code. Quickly navigate to a file using the Explorer or Quick Open.

You can see both definitions and references to symbols inline, without losing your place in the code you’re editing. To navigate elsewhere, use the minimap, hyperlink navigation, Outline view, or even the filterable symbol list for ultra-quick browsing.

Our Customers Love CodeTogether

“Thank you for this brilliant tool. This is the first one that makes nearly instant sharing possible . . . overall a wonderful experience.“

— Astrid Sawatzky Lead Developer, Thera-Pi

“Between its editor-agnosticism and collaborative flexibility, CodeTogether now looks like the best option for many real-world teams.“

—SitePoint Read the full article

“I just did a quick trial run of CodeTogether and I liked it. Used it with an Eclipse Java project, and really liked how easy it was to switch drivers and still communicate as the navigator with mouse selections.“

—Shane Currier Software Developer, Phoenix Labs

Keep source behind the firewall

CodeTogether is designed to keep your code safe and secure by keeping the full source code on the host system and only relaying necessary information with end-to-end encryption. Many companies have embraced Agile software development techniques like pair programming and mob programming. For those organizations with strict security measures that require all code to remain on-premises, we also offer an Enterprise version that allows you to roll out CodeTogether internally and keep your source 100% behind the firewall.

Beats screen sharing!

Edits are immediately synced for all to see, no more painful lag time like you get with screen sharing! And no more squinting to see the screen, the code displays clearly in your browser. CodeTogether allows you to code together online while providing the freedom that screen sharing lacks. Choose who to follow, or do your own investigation. Plus, you’re free to multi-task since only the project is shared and not the entire desktop.

Find what you need with smart searches

It may not be your project, but there’s no reason to get lost in a remote pair programming session. CodeTogether makes it easy to search for content across the shared projects, and you can even use regular expressions for an advanced search. All occurrences are listed for each file, just click the instance you are looking for to jump to the line of code.
