Deskflow is a free, open‑source desktop application that lets you use a single keyboard and mouse across multiple computers. It works over the network, supports TLS encryption, clipboard sharing, and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Use cases
- Control several PCs from one keyboard and mouse without hardware KVMs
- Share clipboard contents between a laptop and a desktop seamlessly
- Work across a mixed Windows‑macOS‑Linux environment using a single input set
- Switch input focus quickly between nearby machines while coding or designing
- Enable remote collaboration by letting teammates use the same peripherals
When to choose
- You need a software‑only solution for sharing keyboard and mouse across different OSes
- You prefer an open‑source tool with TLS encryption and active community support
- You want clipboard synchronization in addition to input sharing
When to avoid
- You require video KVM functionality or hardware‑level switching
- You need support for mobile devices or non‑desktop platforms
- You prefer a commercial product with dedicated support
