USE Together lets you collaborate with your team on your screen. You see their mouse cursors, they can interact with your apps, feeling like you are all at the same desk.
Made with ❤️ for developers and teams to work better, together.
Hey Product Hunt,
I'm Julien, CTO at OPEXMedia 🙌.
Back in 2015, Screenhero, beloved collaborative screen sharing tool, was acquired by Slack. Two years later, it appeared no alternative was out. They eventually decided to fully shut it down last December after integrating some of its features in Slack, leaving no standalone tool to pair effectively.
Last year, we launched USE Together for Windows here on Product Hunt. Initially thought for professionals needing to collaborate on remote desktop environments, we decided to release it to everyone. We also released a Mac version in closed alpha few months later. We took a different approach to what Screenhero was and before it was shutdown. We offered a simple way to join a screen through a web browser without having to download anything nor having to subscribe to anything. We think today's digital collaboration should be that easy: "Hey, can you help me with this issue? Here's a link to my screen".
Although joining someone's screen on a web browser is pretty cool, the experience can be limited as there are many things that just cannot be done with it, mainly for "security" reasons (hello alt-tab / cmd-tab).
We got a lot of valuable feedback from our early users, thanks for that. We have heard you. Six months ago, we thus decided to rebuild USE Together, to bring you a way better experience. We aim to make it the best pair programming / collaboration tool in the world!
USE Together 2.0 new features and enhancements:
🤝 Contact list
Keep in contact with your teammates, know when they are online, chat (voice, text) and share a screen with a single click.
🖥 Join someone directly from the app
When you share a screen with your contacts, they receive an invite and they can join you directly from the app. All keyboard combos are now supported.
🔄 Swap the presenter role
You can now swap at anytime the presenter role and thus who shares their screen / app.
👩💻 Available on Windows and macOS
USE Together is now available on Windows and macOS for everyone. You can still invite linux people with a link (web browser).
✨ New UI and experience
We have revamped USE Together with a brand new UI to bring you a new, smoother collaborative experience with all the features above.
Happy screen sharing 😉
@jlehuraux Been using the beta since the start. What's your pricing likely going to look like when out of beta?
And yay! Switch presenter roles now available!

Hmmm...still running Sierra (10.12.6) and the site download states >= 10.9. However, when attempting to run the latest app it requires >= 10.13.
