Features

What’s inside

  • One shortcut per computer

    A global shortcut for each computer hands the desk over. The setup suggests free ones.

  • Menu, tray or command line

    A menu bar app on Mac and a tray app on Windows, with one line per computer. The command line takes a name, an alias or something close enough.

  • Monitor over DDC/CI

    Tells the monitor to show another input through the control channel in the display cable. Most desktop monitors accept it.

  • Logitech Easy-Switch

    Sends the keyboard and mouse to the channel paired with the other computer, checks it, and asks again if it stayed.

  • Shared clipboard

    Copy text on one computer and paste it on the other, encrypted between the two apps over your local network.

  • Hardware profiles

    Profiles name each monitor's inputs and are fetched about once a week; you can send yours from Settings without an account.

  • Nothing on the other computer

    The computer you leave does the whole switch, so nothing has to run on the one you switch to.

  • Claude Code skill

    A skill built on the command line lets you say "switch to my mac" in a chat.
