Our story

Showing someone your screen shouldn't mean sending it through a stranger's server.

I'm Johnny Mobley. I started building systems for other people in 2000, when I was 16, and I've been doing it ever since. Along the way I automated most of my own work, and the tools I built for myself became these companies. Each one runs on rules I wrote down, not on paid AI calls, which is why it can cost so little.

Most screen-sharing tools route your picture through their own servers. I wanted a way for two browsers to find each other and then talk directly, so the service in the middle only ever sees the handshake, never the screen.

Syncropy does that one thing today: one side shares, the other watches with a room code or a link, and there's a text chat on the same direct connection. It's view-only; it doesn't take over the other computer yet.

What works today

• Shares your screen with one other browser, view-only, using a room code or a link that connects the viewer automatically
• Text chat between the two sides, sent directly between the browsers rather than through the relay

What it doesn't do yet

Splashtop still does things Syncropy doesn't:

• Remote control of the other computer (keyboard and mouse).
• A TURN relay, so pairing can still fail between two locked-down corporate networks.
• File transfer, unattended access and session recording.
• Installed apps for Windows, Mac and phones.

What it costs

Splashtop's price is from their pricing page as of October 29, 2026. Prices change, so check theirs before you compare.
