Screenhero was born out of our own need. We wanted to work with each other remotely, and we realized the existing tools out there for real-time collaboration are meant for presentation, not collaboration. We took our experience building iTeleport, a top-selling remote desktop app for iOS and Mac, and built Screenhero from scratch. We've really tried to rethink the entire collaboration and real-time sharing experience from the ground-up. We want Screenhero to make every one of our users feel like heroes.
We're a team of 5 developers in San Francisco, CA. Want to stop by and say hi? Want to contribute to Screenhero or maybe work with us?

At Screenhero, he's having the time of his life working with an incredible team on an awesome product.
