Team Collaboration Overview

How Nimbalyst Teams adds shared documents and trackers on top of each teammate’s local workspace and their own locally running coding agents.

Each teammate runs the open-source Nimbalyst app on their own machine with their own Claude Code, Codex, or other local agents. Nimbalyst Teams adds a shared layer for files and Trackers without replacing anyone's local workspace, environment, or agents.

See Nimbalyst for Teams for what the shared workspace covers, or go straight to Nimbalyst Teams: Step by Step.

Nimbalyst Teams is in beta. Expect bugs. Organizations are free during beta and will require a paid Nimbalyst Teams subscription after launch.

People and their agents work together on the same shared documents, mockups, diagrams, and trackers.

One integrated workflow for the whole team

Give the whole team higher bandwidth with less context switching. Manage agents, edit the work visually, and track tasks in a shared workspace where each teammate keeps using their own local Nimbalyst and agents, live or asynchronously.

Team collaboration is faster when people and agents share the whole workflow. Nimbalyst keeps plans, visual files, Trackers, sessions, reviews, and delivery links together so context survives every handoff.

• One workflow from plan to ship: Move from a spec to a mockup, implementation session, Tracker update, review, commit, and pull request without rebuilding the story in each tool.

• Every file type in the same context: Work across markdown, code, mockups, diagrams, spreadsheets, data models, and other supported editors while teammates and their agents stay connected to the same project context.

• Less context switching: Stop moving between a document app, task tracker, diagram tool, editor, and terminal or copying context from one into another.

• Higher-bandwidth collaboration: Rich visual editors, live presence, linked work, and immediate status let the team understand and direct more work at once than a collection of text-only tools.

Multiplayer on the work

Edit the same docs, mockups, and diagrams together

A shared document can contain an editable mockup, diagram, image, or tracker inline.

• True multiplayer: Edit shared markdown, mockups, and diagrams 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 documents, 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

The team and its agents keep the same tracker items, fields, and linked sessions current.

• 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 instead of pinging people for updates.

One connected workspace

Shared docs, local files, trackers, and agent sessions live together and link to each other. A tracker can link to the session working it, the source document it came from, and the pull request that closes it. Documents can contain live tracker references and embedded visual files.

For a look at how the shared layer works across a whole team, see how Nimbalyst Teams works.

How collaboration works

1. Everyone works locally. Each teammate runs Nimbalyst on their own machine with their own Claude Code, Codex, or other agents.

2. Authenticate to Nimbalyst Teams. Signing in gives each person access to the organizations, projects, shared files, and shared Trackers they are authorized to use.

3. Promote what should be shared. Move a local file or Tracker item into the shared team workspace when the team should work on it. Only explicitly shared content enters the team collaboration flow.

4. Work live, asynchronously, or offline. Shared files and Trackers sync across everyone's workspace. Previously opened documents remain available from an encrypted local copy, and offline changes upload when the device reconnects.

5. Keep the work connected. Shared docs, local files, Trackers, and sessions link to one another so the team and its agents work from one picture instead of scattered tools.

Set up Nimbalyst Teams

Getting a team running takes three steps:

1. Sign in under Settings > Account > Accounts and create an organization.

2. Attach the current project to that organization under Settings > Project > Sharing.

3. Invite teammates by email from the organization management dialog.

Full instructions, including roles, projects, messaging, and encryption, are in Set Up Nimbalyst Teams and Organizations.

Continue with Collaborative Documents or Collaborative Trackers.

Teammates without the app

Anyone you invite can open your team's shared documents in a browser at console.nimbalyst.com, edit them live, and leave comments without installing anything. See Web Console.

Enterprise-grade security, local-first by default

Your code stays on your machine. Only what you choose to share gets synced, and only the people you invite can read it.

• Encrypted through Cloudflare: Shared documents, Trackers, and tasks flow through Nimbalyst's Cloudflare sync service and are encrypted in transit and at rest.

• Isolated and authorized per team: Team data is isolated per team and requires an authenticated, authorized membership.

• SOC 2 Type 2 certified: Nimbalyst has completed SOC 2 Type 2 certification with audited controls, processes, and documented compliance.

• Local-first by default: Local files remain on your machine until you promote one for the team and its agents to work on together.

Nimbalyst-hosted Teams uses server-managed encryption keys so authorized web, CLI, and agent experiences can access shared team work. Hosted team data is encrypted but is not zero-knowledge. Personal device sync uses a separate end-to-end encrypted model.
