Share code online in real time
Open a shared editor, paste your code, and send the link. Whoever opens it can edit alongside you as you type — no sign-up, no install.
How it works
Open a pad
Click the button below. A shared editor opens straight away, with no sign-up.
Paste your code
Pick the language for syntax highlighting, then paste or type what you want to share.
Send the link
Anyone who opens it can read and edit with you, and you both see changes as they happen.
What you get
Real-time editing
Everyone with the link edits the same pad, and changes appear as they are typed.
25+ languages
Syntax highlighting for JavaScript, Python, Go, SQL, YAML and more.
No sign-up
No account, no install. It runs in any modern browser.
Pick your own link
Open /code/ plus any name, such as /code/standup-notes, and the pad is created on the spot.
Expires on its own
Snippets are removed 7 days after they are created.
Share by link
Send the URL in chat or read out the pad name over a call.
Good for
- Coding interviews, where you watch the code appear as it is written
- Debugging with a colleague who is not in your repository
- Teaching, with students following the same document
- Handing over a config file without chat breaking the indentation
