Cross-IDE pair programming

Duckly is a video chat tool with real-time collaboration that allows you to do pair programming with people using different IDEs. Duckly enables remote developers to work as if they were side by side.

You can share your code in real-time and your team directly from their favourite IDE like VSCode, WebStorm, IntelliJ or PyCharm. Review our website for the complete list of supported IDEs.

Privacy and security

We care deeply about your privacy and security.

The code is only shared P2P encrypted with the call participants. No data touches our servers.

If you are on a call with up to 4 participants, your voice and video are also only shared P2P. For calls with more than 4 participants, we use a cloud infrastructure in order to maintain the call quality.
