Eliminate the barrier between your machines.įind releases for windows and macOS here. Master branch overall build status: Platform Your distro probably already has barrier packaged for it, see distro specific packagesīelow for a list. Our CI Builds are provided by Microsoft Azure Pipelines, Flathub, and Canonical. What is it?īarrier is software that mimics the functionality of a KVM switch, which historically would allow you to use a single keyboard and mouse to control multiple computers by physically turning a dial on the box to switch the machine you're controlling at any given moment. Barrier does this in software, allowing you to tell it which machine to control by moving your mouse to the edge of the screen, or by using a keypress to switch focus to a different system.īarrier was forked from Symless's Synergy 1.9 codebase. Synergy was a commercialized reimplementation of the original CosmoSynergy written by Chris Schoeneman.Īt the moment, barrier is not compatible with synergy. This macro function copies/pastes/cuts the clipboard contents (just like if you press CTRL-C.

Our issue tracker will let you see if others are having the same problem you're having and will allow you to add additional information. You will also be able to see when progress is made and how the issue gets resolved.
Install and run barrier on each machine that will be sharing. On the machine with the keyboard and mouse, make it the server.Ĭlick the "Configure server" button and drag a new screen onto the grid for each client machine.Įnsure the "screen name" matches exactly (case-sensitive) for each configured screen - the clients' barrier windows will tell you their screen names (just above the server IP).
MAC OS CANT INSTALL SHAREMOUSE SOFTWARE.ShareMouse never stores or transmits your files and/or mouse/keyboard input over the internet (see our privacy policy). Reason: ShareMouse allows you to drag & drop files and to synchronize the clipboard between computers which requires that ShareMouse can write to your harddisk.
MacOS does not allow 3rd party apps to access system functions without manual approval for security reasons.
