Teamtype is a peer-to-peer, editor-agnostic tool for real-time collaborative editing of local text files and directories, built in Rust on CRDTs (Automerge). It runs as a daemon alongside your existing editor (e.g., Neovim) via plugins, with encrypted connections and no central server.

Use cases

• collaboratively edit local text files in real time
• pair programming with different editors
• real-time note-taking with teammates
• share cursors and selections while editing
• collaborate offline-first without a server
• write a plugin for my own editor

When to choose

• you want Google-Docs-style collaboration on local files using your own editor
• you need serverless, encrypted peer-to-peer sync
• you want a local-first alternative that keeps files on disk and works offline
• you pair program across different editors

When to avoid

• you need a hosted service with accounts and access control
• you need robust, bug-free production stability (known bugs remain)
• you need non-text-file collaboration
• you're on Windows without WSL
