LESS FRICTION. MORE CONNECTION.
Your desktop.
A little more social.
For the ideas that need a quick sketch, the problem that’s easier to show, and the projects you’d rather work on together.
Don’t just point. Draw.
Sketch over the shared screen and let the host see your annotations. Turn “the thing over there” into something everyone can follow.
Invite people, on your terms.
Keep text chat alongside the stream. Choose when to allow keyboard, mouse or text clipboard sharing, and revoke that access when you want.
A WINDOWS APP, TAKING SHAPE.
Come for the screen.
Stay for the company.
Development preview
Despawn is a working desktop prototype. We’re refining the experience before making a release available here.
One host and one viewer today. Broader hardware, internet connectivity and performance testing are still in progress.
A few things to knowBEFORE YOU DROP IN
A few good
questions.
Can I download Despawn yet?
The desktop app is in development. A download will appear here when a release is ready. We’re keeping development builds out of the website and source repository.
What computers does it run on?
The current app targets Windows 10 and 11. NVIDIA hardware encoding and a software compatibility path are available; other hardware and platforms need more qualification.
Can someone control my computer?
Keyboard and mouse control are off by default. The host must explicitly grant permission. Text clipboard synchronization also requires both people to opt in.
Are website accounts connected to the desktop app?
Not yet. Email accounts are available as a website preview. Signing into this website does not currently register your computer or authorize a desktop session.
Does it share my microphone?
The current desktop app can optionally share system audio. Microphone and voice-channel support are not available yet.
