Barrier

Barrier helps people manage several computers at one desk with a single set of input devices. It is useful when separate systems run side by side and switching between their desktops would otherwise mean changing keyboards or mice. The program works across Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it suitable for setups with different operating systems.

Move the pointer between screens to direct your keyboard and mouse to the computer you need.

Install Barrier on each computer, then set the machine with the physical keyboard and mouse as the server. Arrange the other screens in a layout and connect each client through the server address or automatic discovery. Moving the pointer past a screen edge redirects input to another computer; a keypress can also switch focus. Clipboard contents can pass between connected systems.

Features:

• Control several computers with one keyboard and mouse
• Switch control by crossing screen edges
• Change the active computer with a keypress
• Share clipboard contents between connected systems
• Arrange client screens in a visual layout
• Connect clients by address or automatic discovery
