Synergy (software)
Synergy is a software application for sharing a keyboard and mouse between multiple computers. It is used in situations where several PCs are used together, with a monitor connected to each, but are to be controlled by one user. The user needs only one keyboard and mouse on the desk — similar to a KVM switch without the video.
Released under the terms of the GNU General Public License, Synergy is free software.
The first version of Synergy (created on May 13, 2001 by Chris Schoeneman, also known as "crs") worked with the X Window System only, but more recent versions of Synergy support Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and other Unix dialects.
A fork of Synergy named Synergy+ was started in 2009, but this fork project has since been merged back in to Synergy.
