Tool Open source
Inline is a work-chat app for teams, built by a two-person team. Its macOS and iOS clients organize conversations around numbered, optionally titled threads, direct messages, Spaces, and a sidebar of chats requiring attention. The project is designed for focused asynchronous and real-time collaboration, including sharing links to threads and using them for feedback, bug tracking, specifications, brainstorming, meeting notes, and team libraries.
The app targets fast startup, low CPU and RAM usage, and high frame rates. The video describes voice and screen sharing and a Rust-based WebRTC stack; the repository also lists a public API, command-line interface, SDKs, bot integrations, a hosted MCP server, and plugins for AI clients and OpenClaw. macOS and iOS are in beta, while web, Android, Windows, and Linux support are planned.
Inline is currently free to use and in beta. The repository states that its server and native client source code are closed for now, while the protocol, CLI, MCP server, SDKs, plugins, and related development packages are published under the Apache License 2.0. The repository is the official source for building on top of Inline, not for the closed core application.
