p2p.kiwi is a cross-platform screen sharing tool that enables peer-to-peer screen sharing without requiring user accounts or persistent server infrastructure.
The tool solves the friction of screen sharing by establishing direct peer-to-peer connections between participants. Rather than routing video through centralized servers, it uses WebRTC to create a direct link between peers, with only minimal signaling and NAT traversal servers needed to bootstrap the initial connection. This approach eliminates the need for account creation or authentication, making it accessible for quick collaboration sessions.
The tool suits developers and teams who need lightweight screen sharing for pair programming or remote collaboration without the overhead of account management or privacy concerns about video passing through third-party servers. It runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux, making it accessible across the platforms most developers use. The peer-to-peer architecture means sharing happens directly between participants rather than through a service provider.
Development activity shows consistent engagement with the codebase. The project maintains active issue triage and responds to user-reported problems. Pull requests receive review and integration into the main branch. The maintainers address bug reports and feature requests from the community, indicating ongoing stewardship of the tool.
