Share your keyboard and mouse over PCs and Macs

SynergyOSX is a Mac GUI version of Synergy, an open source project aimed at creating an easy-to-use, cross-platform mouse and keyboard sharing system.

If you work between several different machines at once or need to be able to use your keyboard and mouse on more than one computer, SynergyOSX could be very useful. Synergy works between computers independent of the operating system you use so it's ideal for those working between PCs and Macs. It could be especially useful for a video editor who has two different machines for editing footage in the same studio.

Redirecting the mouse and keyboard simply involves moving your mouse off the edge of the screen. When you do this, it automatically transfers power to the other machine. It's also handy for cutting and pasting between different computers because it merges the clipboards into one. Your screensavers will also be synchronized so they start together and your screen lock passwords will also work under one password for both screens.

Setting up Synergy simply requires that you identify an IP address or Synergy Server Name of the computer you'd like to share. If when connected you don't want the mouse to cross screens at any point, you can just activate the scroll lock. When you require screen sharing again, just switch it off again.

Overall though Synergy is a useful application for those who work on dual screens or different machines, and don't want the confusion and clutter of another keyboard and mouse.

  • Pros

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
