Nimbalyst for Teams: Multiplayer Workspace for Claude Code & Codex

Nimbalyst

6 min read Original article ↗

Each teammate keeps their coding agents local. People and agents then edit the same docs, mockups, diagrams, and trackers in real time.

Nimbalyst is free for individual use and open source. Teams is $20 per user per month, free while it is in beta.

Multiplayer on the work

Collaboration comes from the workspace, so the editors inherit it

Multiplayer collaboration is built into the extension system not one document type, so markdown, mockups, diagrams, spreadsheets, data models, and your extensions all get presence and real-time collaborative editing.

True multiplayer

Edit shared markdown together in real time, with a live cursor for everyone in the document.

Your agents in the same room

Each teammate's local Claude Code and Codex agents edit the same shared document, not separate copies.

Promote and review

Promote any local file to a shared one in a click, and review its full change history.

Plan and track together

Plan and track the work on one shared board

Shared boards and trackers

Plans, decisions, bugs, tasks, and ideas live on shared boards and trackers, in the same workspace as your docs.

Everyone updates the same items

Teammates and their local agents read and update the same tracker items, so the board reflects what is actually happening.

One place for status

See what is in progress, done, or blocked in one place, instead of pinging people for updates.

One connected workspace

Every file type and every step of the workflow, integrated

Nimbalyst keeps the plan, the work, the status, and the review together. People and agents can follow the same context from idea to shipped instead of reconstructing it across disconnected tools.

One workflow from plan to ship

Specs, mockups, implementation sessions, Tracker updates, reviews, commits, and pull requests link together, so handoffs keep their context.

Purpose-built visual editors

Work across markdown, code, mockups, diagrams, spreadsheets, data models, and more without leaving the shared workspace or changing agents.

Higher bandwidth, less context switching

See and direct more work visually instead of bouncing among a terminal, document app, diagram tool, editor, and task tracker or copying context between them.

Extensions collaborate too

Collaboration comes from the workspace, so editors that arrive as extensions get it as well. Diagrams, mockups, spreadsheets, and data models edit in real time with live cursors, and an editor your team builds itself works the same way.

Ask the team

Send the work out and get a decision back

Put a document, mockup, diagram, spreadsheet, or tracker item in front of named teammates, with the questions you actually need answered. The version they review is pinned at send, so the artifact stays editable for everyone else.

Ask the question you need answered

Ask for a choice, a ranking, a rating, a yes, or an open answer. The replies come back attached to the artifact instead of scattered down a thread.

The spread, never the average

See who answered what, and who is still outstanding. One reviewer's reservation stays visible instead of averaging away.

Nobody anchors on the first answer

Hold responses back until each person has answered, so you get the room's own read instead of everyone agreeing with whoever replied first.

Your agent waits on the room

The session that asked wakes when the answers land, so the work picks up where it left off instead of stalling on a nudge.

Nothing for them to install

A reviewer who does not run Nimbalyst opens the shared markdown document in a browser at console.nimbalyst.com, signed in with a work email or Google, with the same permissions as the app.

Live editing in the browser

Reviewers follow your changes as you make them, with a labeled cursor for each person, and edit the document alongside you.

Why Nimbalyst

Eight tools become one workspace, kept in sync by your agents

Sessions and prompts

In place of a bare terminal or agent CLI. Your Claude Code and Codex sessions run inside the workspace, next to the docs, tasks, mockups, diagrams, and code, so the agent works with full context instead of only what you paste in.

Task tracking

In place of Linear or Jira. A shared board with your stages, kept current by your team and their agents, next to the docs, sessions, and code it refers to.

Docs and specs

In place of Google Docs, Confluence, or Notion. Specs, plans, and decisions in real-time multiplayer, next to the mockups, diagrams, and code, edited by each teammate's agents.

Notes and markdown

In place of Obsidian. Write and edit markdown notes and knowledge in the same workspace as the docs, code, and diagrams they connect to, kept current by your agents.

Mockups

In place of Figma Make. Sketch and refine UI mockups in the same workspace, linked to the spec and the code, and edited by your agents.

Diagrams

In place of Lucidchart or Miro. Architecture and flow diagrams live with the docs and code they explain, drawn and updated by your agents.

Code

In place of VS Code or your IDE. Your code editor sits in the same workspace as the docs, mockups, diagrams, tasks, and agent sessions, so people and agents see across all of it.

Team messages

In place of Slack. Talk through the work next to the docs, tasks, and sessions it refers to, so decisions stay attached to the artifacts instead of scrolling away in a separate channel.

Linked, and kept in sync by your agents

Every artifact links to the others, so the doc, the mockup, the diagram, the board, and the code stay connected, and your agents keep them in sync as the work changes. When you want to keep a tool you already run, your agents reach Linear, Jira, Confluence, Figma, Slack, and more through MCP.

Security

Enterprise-grade security, local-first by default

Your code stays on your machine. Only what you choose to share enters the team workspace, and only authorized members can access it.

Encrypted in transit and at rest

Shared documents, Trackers, and tasks flow through Nimbalyst's Cloudflare sync service and are encrypted in transit and at rest, with data isolated per team.

SOC 2 Type 2 certified

Nimbalyst has completed SOC 2 Type 2 certification: enterprise-grade controls, audited processes, and documented compliance.

Local-first by default

Your code and local files stay on your machine. You promote a file only when you want your team and its agents working on it together.
