Workbench turns any video call into a creative workspace — with full control over what, how, and when you share.

Using Workbench

Built for designers & developers

Use Workbench for high-trust, high-bandwidth collaboration — in pixels, code, or both.

Draw together

Work together on the same canvas without sacrificing quality. With stylus support, Retina resolution, and high-fidelity color, you can draw side by side in your favorite design tools — like Photoshop, Illustrator, and beyond.

Remote pair programming

Skip laggy handoffs and awkward remote tools. Work in the same codebase with real-time cursor and keyboard sharing. Both users can type, scroll, and navigate with minimal lag, making collaboration and code review easier than ever.

Designed for the way you work. Full support for pro-grade input across creative and technical tools.

Hardware Support Image

Gestures

Powered by LIQUID

Pair Workbench with your favorite video apps

No app switching. No learning curve. Enjoy better collaboration while using the apps your team already knows.

Locked down with end-to-end encryption

Workbench is built with security at its core.

With end-to-end AES-256 encryption, your screensharing sessions stay completely private. No one, including us, can see your screen, keyboard, mouse, or any of your activity.

We’ve designed Workbench from the ground up using modern security best practices, ensuring that your work stays yours. Privacy isn’t an afterthought — it’s a priority.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the system requirements for Workbench? Workbench requires macOS 15+. Windows support is on our product roadmap and we’ll let you know when it’s ready for beta.
Does Workbench have built-in audio and video? Not yet — but it’s coming soon. For now, use Workbench as a meeting companion for Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, or Slack Huddle.
Can I use Workbench with more than one person at a time? Not now — you can only screen share with one other person during a Workbench session.
What are the recommended network settings for best performance? For the lowest latency, we recommend a high-speed internet connection with at least 25 Mbps upload and download. For best results, use Workbench on an Apple Silicon Mac.
