Vortex Tunnel is a real-time collaborative desktop app for secure, direct connections between two PCs using Tailscale. No servers or port forwarding needed! Chat, share huge files, draw together, and access persistent "vaults" for files across all your devices. Think Discord Nitro (1080p screen sharing, rich comms) meets Parsec (PC control), with per-account vaults for file sync.
