SharedTerminal

Stop Screensharing Your Terminal.
One terminal. Full team. In sync.

Your whole team drops into one project folder. Everyone gets their own shell, works on the code in parallel, delegates tasks, calls AI — and ships the fix together.

● Everyone works in parallel, same codebase
● Chat, delegate tasks, track activity
● AI coding tools inside the workspace
● Self-hosted, sandboxed, audit-logged

Not a Terminal Multiplexer

A Parallel Workspace for Your Team

This isn't tmux. It's not screensharing. Your team opens one project, everyone gets their own shell, and you ship code together in real time.

How It Works

  • ✓ Host shares a project folder from their terminal
  • ✓ Teammates join via browser — zero install
  • ✓ Everyone gets independent shell tabs
  • ✓ Same codebase, parallel work, real-time sync
  • ✓ Chat, delegate tasks, call AI for help
  • ✓ Ship the fix together — all in one session

Enterprise Guardrails

  • ✓ Docker-sandboxed (read-only rootfs, no capabilities)
  • ✓ Owner / editor / viewer roles with SSO
  • ✓ Every command audit-logged per user
  • ✓ DLP auto-redacts secrets in real-time
  • ✓ Full session recording with browser replay
  • ✓ Persistent sessions survive disconnects

Built-In Collaboration

  • ✓ Team chat alongside the terminal
  • ✓ Task board — assign work during sessions
  • ✓ Live activity feed — see who ran what
  • ✓ AI assistant for code questions & summaries
  • ✓ Follow mode — watch a teammate's terminal
  • ✓ Self-hosted via docker compose

Enterprise-Grade by Default

These aren't roadmap items. Every feature is implemented, tested, and in the source code.

Docker Isolation

Every session runs in a sandboxed container. Read-only root filesystem, no capabilities, isolated network. Users never touch the host.

Audit Logging

Every command, every connection, every chat message. NDJSON format pipes directly into Splunk, Datadog, or your SIEM of choice.

Session Recording

Full terminal replay in asciicast v2 format. Review any session frame-by-frame in the browser — no downloads needed.

DLP / Secret Scanning

Real-time regex scanning redacts AWS keys, GitHub tokens, private keys, and passwords before they reach other users' screens.

SSO / OIDC

Okta, Microsoft Entra, Google Workspace, Auth0, Keycloak. One-click login for your team, domain-restricted access.

Self-Hosted

Deploy inside your VPC with docker-compose. Zero data leaves your network. No telemetry, no phone-home, no cloud dependency.

Built Into Every Session

Collaboration, Not Just Shells

A workspace isn't just terminals. Your team needs to communicate, delegate, track progress, and learn from every session.

Team Chat

Discuss Code Without Leaving the Terminal

Real-time messaging built right into the session sidebar. Share context, ask questions, and coordinate — all audit-logged and searchable after the session ends.

  • Threaded conversations alongside terminal output
  • Every message logged with timestamp and user
  • No context switching to Slack or Teams

Alex can you check why the rate limiter is failing on burst requests?

I saw that same issue in staging last week. Check the Redis TTL config

found it! TTL was set to 60s instead of 60000ms. fixing now

Live Activity

See Who's Online and What They're Doing

Real-time presence indicators show who's connected, who's typing, and who's idle. The activity feed captures every meaningful action in the session.

  • Green/yellow/gray presence dots for each user
  • Live activity feed with command tracking
  • DLP alerts highlighted in real-time

Task Board

Assign, Track, and Complete — All in One Place

Create and delegate tasks during an incident or pairing session. Track progress with a kanban board that lives right next to the terminal.

  • Drag-and-drop task management
  • Assign to any session participant
  • Priority tags and progress tracking

AI Summary

Every Session Generates a Shareable Report

When the session ends, AI automatically summarizes what happened: key commands, decisions made, secrets caught, and follow-up items. Sent to Slack or saved to your wiki.

  • Auto-generated session recap with key actions
  • Follow-up items extracted automatically
  • Post to Slack, email, or save to audit trail

What happened

Rate limiter was failing on burst requests due to Redis TTL misconfiguration (60s instead of 60000ms). Alex identified the root cause with Maya's help pointing to staging logs.

Key actions
✓ Diagnosed rate limiter failure
✓ Fixed Redis TTL config
✓ Ran test suite — 23/23 passed
✓ 1 secret auto-redacted by DLP
Follow-up items
○ Update deployment config
○ Write postmortem document
○ Add TTL validation to CI pipeline

How It Works

SharedTerminal Architecture Diagram

SharedTerminal runs entirely inside your infrastructure. The host developer starts a session from their CLI. Teammates join via browser on the internal network. All terminal I/O flows through an Express server into an isolated Docker container. No data ever leaves your firewall.

Zero Friction

Try It

Jump into a live session right now. No install, no account, no setup.

Open Live Demo

No account needed — enter your name and you're in a live terminal. Try running npm test or cat src/index.js

Or self-host

terminal
# Clone and build (one time) git clone https://github.com/Turje/sharedterminal-enterprise.git cd sharedterminal-enterprise && npm install && npm run build && npm run docker:build # Start a session — share the URL + PIN with your team npx sharedterminal --path ./your-project # Or deploy self-hosted with docker compose cd deploy && cp .env.example .env docker compose up -d

Teammates join by opening the URL in a browser. That's it.
