Share your keyboard and mouse with SynergyOSX
SynergyOSX is a Mac GUI version of Synergy, an open-source project designed to create a user-friendly, cross-platform mouse and keyboard sharing system. If you work with multiple machines simultaneously or need to use your keyboard and mouse on more than one computer, SynergyOSX can be incredibly useful. It seamlessly works between Macs and PCs, making it ideal for professionals who need to switch between different operating systems.
One of the main advantages of SynergyOSX is its simplicity in transferring control from one screen to another. By simply moving your mouse off the edge of the screen, the control is automatically transferred to the other machine. Additionally, it only requires the IP address of the other machine, making the setup process quick and straightforward. SynergyOSX also syncs the clipboard, screensaver, and screen lock between the connected machines, providing a seamless experience.
However, one downside is that the help information on setting up a Synergy Server can be complex, potentially causing some difficulties for users. Overall, SynergyOSX is a useful application for those who work with dual screens or different machines and want to eliminate the confusion and clutter of using multiple keyboards and mice.
