Invite friends to work with you on public or private projects. Anyone with a browser can jump in and pick up where you left off, and private .env files keep secrets like API keys, well, secret. There's no deployment setup—as soon as you create a new project, your Glitch app is live with its own URL (or your custom domain!). Share or embed anywhere, and invite anyone to check out your code or remix it.

    Forge Code

    Forge Code

    Forge Code

    Forge Code is a terminal-based AI pair-programmer and software-engineering agent that lets you interact with your entire codebase using natural language commands. It runs directly in your shell, integrating seamlessly with any IDE or existing workflow; you don’t need to switch editors or abandon your regular tools. Forge Code understands project files, Git history, dependencies, and environment context, so once it loads your project, it comprehends the codebase structure and can respond to prompts without repeated explanations. It offers a multi-agent architecture: a “Forge Agent” for implementing changes and real code execution, and a “Muse Agent” for planning, analyzing, and reviewing code without altering files. You can use Forge with your preferred AI provider or self-hosted LLMs, giving full control over where your code goes and how the model is run.

    Tuple

    Tuple

    Tuple

    The best remote pair programming app on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Because we programmers deserve better than a generic screen sharing tool. Once upon a time, there was an amazing pairing app called Screenhero. Sadly, they decided to sell to Slack, who tried to integrate them, failed, and eventually shut them down. In the following years, we made do with generic screensharing tools. It's not terrible pairing over Zoom, but it was clearly built for business types. They even call it a “meeting” in their UI. And Slack Huddles is fine, but not having remote control is a deal-breaker. Have you ever tried to dictate some code for your pair to write? Or narrated a set of Vim commands? Not fun.

    motepair
    Remote pair programming tool for Atom. Lag free! We’ve done a basic integration with Share.js to allow concurrent editing via OT and bind some Atom events to a websocket, like opening/closing/saving files. Use the Atom package manager, which can be found in the Settings view or run apm install motepair from the command line. Open the project to start collaborating via the Motepair, connect command (you can trigger this command via Cmd+Shift+P). Please make sure that peers to open the same project directory. This is a very important step as we rely on the relative project path to identify the correct file. Deploy your own server easily on Heroku. The connection right now it is not encrypted if you have problems with that, please do not use it. That is part of the backlog. Be aware that this package is still in development, so it can be unstable, we are working hard to make the Remote Pair programming a better experience to all.
