termbacktime

Your terminal. A shared view.

Live sharing

Walk someone through a fix, teach a workflow, or invite a second pair of eyes. Stream your terminal to a browser while you stay in control of the keyboard.

Joining a session?

Ask the host for their viewer link, then open it directly or paste it here.

Keep the whole link, including everything after #. You do not need to install the CLI to watch.

Show your work as it happens

01 / WATCH TOGETHER

A read-only front row

Invite up to 100 viewers. They see terminal output, colors, and resizes in their browser. Late arrivals start with your current screen.

02 / STAY IN CONTROL

A private host panel

See viewer counts, pause updates, lock new admissions, adjust expiry, or end sharing. Your shell and any local recording keep running.

03 / SHARE PRIVATELY

Encrypted from your terminal

Terminal output is encrypted before it leaves your computer and decrypted by viewers. The complete viewer link carries access, so share it with people you trust.

One command to go live

Start your own session

  1. Install TermBackTime

    Use the installation guide on the computer you want to share. Viewers only need a browser.

  2. Open a live shell

    termbacktime live

    The CLI prints a viewer link and a separate private host-control link. Your terminal session begins in the shell it opens.

  3. Invite viewers and keep working

    Send the complete viewer link to your audience. Keep the host-control link for yourself. Use the host panel to pause or end sharing, or type exit to finish the shell.
