About Duckly
What is Duckly?
Duckly is a real-time collaboration tool for developers that enables pair programming, code reviews, and terminal sharing across different IDEs. It solves the problem of remote teams needing to work together on code without being forced into the same editor. Duckly supports end-to-end encrypted peer-to-peer connections, allowing developers to share their code, terminal, and local servers securely.
Who is it for?
Duckly is built for software development teams—including engineering, data science, and machine learning teams—who work remotely and need to collaborate in real-time. It is particularly useful for teams where members use different IDEs (e.g., VS Code vs PhpStorm). It is not designed for non-technical users or for managing code repositories; it is a live collaboration layer, not a version control system.
Real use cases
Developers commonly use Duckly for live pair programming sessions, where they can see each other's cursors and edit the same file simultaneously. Teams also use it for code reviews—talking through changes while viewing the code together—and for sharing terminal sessions with read-only or write access. The server sharing feature lets teammates preview local changes in real-time without deployment.
Key features
- Multi-IDE real-time sharing — Share code with developers using any IDE, each staying in their preferred editor.
- Audio and video calls — Talk with audio, video, and screen sharing directly inside your IDE.
- Terminal sharing — Share your terminal session with teammates, granting read-only or write access.
- Server sharing — Share your local server so teammates can see changes in real-time without pushing code.
- Real-time cursors — See other developers' cursors and code changes live from your IDE.
- End-to-end encryption — All connections are peer-to-peer and end-to-end encrypted for security.
