Stay in your creative flow
Many artists use a Mac for creative work and a Windows PC for specific tools or older software. Synergy lets one keyboard and mouse control both computers as if they were one, so you stay focused on creating instead of switching devices.
Setup of the week
Show off your Synergy setup
Synergy has been part of this setup since 2018, tying a dedicated gaming PC and a separate streaming PC together under one keyboard and mouse. The gaming machine runs an i9-9900K with an RTX 4060 Ti, while the stream side handles capture and broadcast duties independently.

Real world applications
Our enterprise customers cut complexity, speed up delivery, and simplify operations. Read the case studies to see how they did it with Synergy.
Unified control in mission-critical operations
In mission-critical operations, staff often work across multiple independent systems at the same time. Synergy lets a single keyboard and mouse move instantly between communication, monitoring, and control machines, reducing delays caused by switching consoles or interfaces. This keeps operators focused on decisions and execution rather than managing hardware, even under sustained pressure.
Based on open source software
Synergy is the commercial distribution built on Deskflow, the upstream open-source project maintained by the Synergy team.
Combine your computers
Synergy makes all your computers feel like one system. One mouse, one keyboard, one clipboard. Just move your mouse from one computer to another and start typing.
Increase desk space
Synergy means you only need one keyboard and mouse, regaining valuable space on your desk. Once installing Synergy, you can put away those extra keyboards and mice.
Save switch time
Conventional hardware switch devices cost precious seconds during the switch. Synergy has no delay, switching instantly as soon as you move your mouse between computers.
Listens for inputs
Synergy listens to the operating system for mouse movements and key strokes, so it can tell when you move the mouse off the edge of your screen. Once it detects HID (human input device) events, it gets ready to send them over the network.
Transmits HID info
Once off the edge, the mouse cursor is then emulated on the remote computer via your LAN (local area network). Keystrokes and copy/paste data are sent to whichever computer the mouse cursor goes.

Software or hardware KVM switch?
Synergy works like a software KVM, but without video. Unlike hardware KVM switches, it does not require cables or physical setup, and avoids the lag and reliability issues common when switching between machines.
