Show HN: Tandem Terminal – Share your terminal with a friend
Tandem Terminal lets users share a live terminal session with another person, debuting as a Show HN project in August 2026.
Tandem Terminal launched publicly on August 12, 2026, with a post on Hacker News under the "Show HN" tag. The tool lets a user share their terminal with another person in real time, according to the project's site.
The HN submission, posted by user tn_, offers no additional detail on pricing, underlying technology, or the number of supported simultaneous collaborators. The source material does not name founders, a founding date, or any prior funding.
Collaborative terminal sharing sits in a category alongside tools like tmate and tmux's shared-session feature, which have long allowed developers to pair-program or debug together over SSH. Tandem Terminal appears to position itself as a more accessible, link-based alternative, though the available sources do not describe its technical implementation or how sessions are established.
No information is available from the sources about the team behind the project, its geographic base, or any planned monetization. The HN post had received one point and one comment at the time of submission, indicating it was very early in public visibility.
