TogetherUsing lives in your macOS menu bar. Switch to any app and you're instantly in its chat room, with everyone else using it at this moment. No servers to join. No invites. Just presence.
Rooms are not something you join. They're something you're in, by doing what you already do.
One lightweight app, always one click away. No dock icon, no window to manage.
Working in Blender? You're in the Blender room. Open Xcode? Now you're with other Xcode users — everyone else who's working in it right now.
Ask questions, share screenshots of what you're working on, find the people who use the same tools you do.
Discord servers need searching, invites and loyalty. TogetherUsing rooms are ambient — the community already exists, because the users already exist.
+ any other app on your Mac — unknown apps get a shared room, e.g. app:com.your.tool@global. Private rooms and friends coming to everyone.
A presence app must be trustworthy. These aren't features we'll walk back — they're the foundation.
Just the bundle identifier, used only to place you in a room. No window titles, no file names, no keystrokes, nothing else ever leaves your Mac.
Chat history is stored AES-256-GCM encrypted on the server. We never sell, share or monetize any user data — no exceptions, ever.
No third-party analytics, no ad SDKs, no fingerprinting. The room is yours; attention is never for sale here.
Rooms, chat, screenshots, friends, blocking and reporting — permanently free. Community is the product, not the paywall.
org.blenderfoundation.blender — and sends exactly that, nothing more. No window titles, no documents, no browsing history. You can verify this with any network monitor: it's one tiny websocket message when you switch apps.
