REZO — Team Messaging Inside Your Editor
Send and receive team messages right inside your normal files. No sidebar, no panels, no context switching. Just your code and your team.
Zero Setup. Just Install and Go.
REZO works out of the box — no accounts, no configuration, no file paths.
- Install the extension
- Press
Ctrl+Shift+P → REZO: Create New Room
- Share the room code with your team (e.g.
REZO-7K9P)
- They install REZO and run REZO: Join Room by Code
- Done — start sending messages
How It Works
You select code → Ctrl+Shift+S → sent to room
Teammate presses Ctrl+Shift+V → history appears at their cursor as comments
No new windows. No sidebars. Everything stays inside your normal editor flow.
Send a Message
- Select any text in any file
- Press
Ctrl+Shift+S (Mac: Cmd+Shift+S)
- The selected text, filename, and line number are sent to your active room
Receive Messages
- Place your cursor anywhere in any file
- Press
Ctrl+Shift+V (Mac: Cmd+Shift+V)
- The full room history is inserted at your cursor as a comment block:
// ===== REZO HISTORY [Room: REZO-7K9P] =====
// [2024-01-15 14:30] alice (utils.ts:42): check this function
// [2024-01-15 14:31] bob (app.py:10): looks good, approved
// ===== END REZO HISTORY =====
- Read it, then manually delete the block when done
REZO automatically uses the correct comment style for your language:

Rooms
- Room codes are short and easy to share:
REZO-XXXX
- Rooms auto-delete after 35 minutes of inactivity to keep storage clean
- If a room expires, just create a new one — takes 2 seconds
- The room code is your session — anyone with the code can join
Offline Support
If you have no internet connection, REZO shows the last 50 cached messages from your previous session. You'll see a warning toast: "Network error. Using cached history."

Ctrl+K then Ctrl+S
- Search for
rezo.sendMessage or rezo.receiveHistory
- Set your preferred keybinding
Privacy
- All messages are stored in a shared Firebase Realtime Database
- REZO does not collect any personal data
- Messages are tied only to room codes — no accounts or logins
- Rooms auto-delete after 35 minutes of inactivity
- Do not share sensitive credentials or secrets in REZO rooms
