Multi is a native multiplayer collaboration app built specifically for macOS, designed to make team collaboration faster and more efficient. Its core feature is "multiplayer app sharing": users can point, draw, and edit in a shared app just as if they were operating their own computer, with all actions synced in real time.

- Simultaneous screen sharing: supports up to 10 people sharing their screens at the same time, and allows working collaboratively across multiple screen shares.
