The real page
Sharp text they can scroll and read, not a video of your screen.
With other peopleNow available
Show someone a document without sharing your screen.
Open together sends people a link to a window you have open in KolHive: a document, a note, a transcript or a web page. They open it in their browser, with no account and nothing to install, and see the real page, live, with everyone's pointer. One person writes at a time, and a tap passes the pen. You let each person in and can end it for everyone. It runs in KolHive on Mac, Windows, Linux and in the browser, on a phone or tablet too. The KolHive apps for iPhone, iPad and Android come next.

Questions and answers
Does the other person need KolHive or an account?
No. They open the link in any browser and type a name. People who use KolHive can join from the app too.
Is this screen sharing?
No. They get the real page, drawn on their own device, so text stays sharp. Only the window you chose is shown, never the rest of your screen.
Can they edit?
One person writes at a time. You hold the pen and can give it to anyone with a tap. A transcript's text is edited by you only.
Who can see it, and what stays afterwards?
Only the people you let in. It goes from device to device encrypted; our server passes it on and can't read it. Nothing is saved on their device, and it ends when you end it or after 4 hours.
What about sound and pictures?
When you play a transcript, play and pause follow for everyone, but the sound plays on your device only. Pictures inside documents don't travel yet.
How many people, and does it cost anything?
Up to 8 people at once, for up to 4 hours. It's part of KolHive and free.
