What it is
Tuple is a remote pair-programming app for engineers, combining screen sharing, audio, video, and remote control. Tuple says calls can stream at resolutions up to 5K. Participants can annotate screens, react with emoji, use animations and keyboard shortcuts, and switch the screen sharer with one click. App Veil hides sensitive applications and notifications during sharing. Browser guests can talk, use a webcam, and view a shared screen; screen sharing, remote control, and drawing require the app. Tuple supports Linux, macOS, Windows, and web, with Linux marked alpha. Slack commands start calls and list ongoing calls, while Google Calendar and Apple Calendar integrations add call links or rooms. Triggers can run user code when calls or participant membership changes. Tuple says call data and media are end-to-end encrypted, although media for calls with four or more participants may be relayed through its servers. Local capture stores transcripts, recordings, annotations, and app metadata, with on-device transcription. Pricing starts at $30/user/mo, with a 14-day trial.
