Deskflow is a free, open-source application that lets you share one keyboard and mouse across multiple nearby computers, acting like a software KVM without video. It supports TLS encryption by default, clipboard sharing, and Wayland.
Use cases
- control multiple computers with one keyboard and mouse
- software KVM alternative without extra hardware
- share clipboard between computers
- move mouse seamlessly between desktops on a network
- replace a physical KVM switch for nearby machines
When to choose
- you have multiple computers side by side and want one input setup
- you want encrypted, open-source KVM functionality
- you need Wayland or clipboard sharing support
When to avoid
- you need to share video/display, not just input devices
- computers are not on the same network
- you need remote (non-LAN) control of machines
