Interwu CLI

A remote screen sharing client for technical interviews and remote assistance.

Installation

Install globally using npm:

npm install -g interwu

Usage

Basic Usage

Start the application with the GUI:

interwu

This will open the InterWu application where you can enter a 6-digit code to connect to a session.

CLI Mode with Auto-Connect

Connect directly to a session using a 6-digit code:

interwu 123456

incase you forget the syntax to use the cli, you can always use

interwu --help

This will:

• Skip the code entry screen
• Automatically connect to the session with code 123456
• Show the dashboard directly
• Close the application when the session disconnects

Development Mode

Connect to localhost instead of production server:

interwu --local

This connects to ws://localhost:3004 instead of the production server.

You can also mention custom WebSocket server:

interwu --local "ws://localhost:6969"

or

interwu --local=ws://localhost:6969

Development Environment

# On Windows
