About Tuple

Tuple is a desktop screen-sharing app made for developers who pair program remotely. Instead of a general meeting tool, it focuses on what pairing needs: sharp, high-resolution screen streams, responsive remote control of the other person's mouse and keyboard, and a single click to swap who is sharing. Calls carry audio and video, and either side can draw or type on the shared screen. Audio, video and screen data are end-to-end encrypted. Power users get keyboard shortcuts for most actions and Triggers, which run your own scripts when calls start, end or people join, for example to add a Git co-author line. The app runs on macOS and Windows, with a Linux build in alpha; guests can join from a browser to watch and talk, but need the app to share or control. Tuple is a paid per-user subscription after a free trial, with discounts for young startups and free licences for significant open-source work. Only one person in a session needs to pay.

Best for: Remote engineering teams that pair program daily and want fast remote control over a plain meeting app.

What works

Remote control feels responsive, with one-click switching of the sharer
End-to-end encrypted audio, video and screen sharing

Only one participant needs a paid seat; guests join from a browser

Why people leave

No free plan, only a 14-day trial before the per-user subscription
Linux app is still in alpha
Browser guests can watch and talk but can't share or take control
Built for small pairing sessions rather than large meetings or webinars
