Features

Line-Anchored Comments

Click any line to leave a comment. Threaded replies, resolve/unresolve. Anchored via AST, so comments follow functions when code changes.

Guided Tours

Create ordered walkthroughs through your codebase. New hires follow the tour at their own pace. The async onboarding tool.

Live Guide Mode

Control everyone's viewport in real time. Open files, scroll, highlight. Your team sees what you see. Like a live code walkthrough.

End-to-End Encrypted

Source code is encrypted between your machine and the browser. The relay never sees your code. It only stores annotations.
