Osmynt ⚡
Secure, Git-powered, Realtime DM for code blocks ⚡
The Problem
Software development is inherently collaborative, but sharing code blocks with your team remains a frustrating experience. Traditional methods like:
- 📧 Emailing code snippets - Context gets lost, formatting breaks
- 💬 Slack/Teams messages - No syntax highlighting, poor readability
- 📺 Screen sharing - Disrupts workflow, requires scheduling
- 🔗 Third-party platforms - Complex setup, context switching
These approaches break your development flow and hurt productivity. There has to be a better way.
The Solution
Osmynt is a VSCode extension that brings seamless, secure, end-to-end encrypted code sharing directly into your editor. No context switching, no workflow disruption - just pure developer experience.

- Secure: End-to-end encryption for all shared code
- Fast: Real-time sharing without leaving your editor
- Team-first: Built for developer teams, not general collaboration
- Git-powered: Apply changes directly to your files
