sidebyside
Support
A software KVM for Mac.
Looking for a Synergy alternative for Mac? sidebyside shares a mouse and keyboard, copies and pastes between Macs, and transfers files on your local network. Cross-Mac drag-and-drop is still in development.
Getting your Macs together.
Install the same private preview on each Mac. Use macOS 14 or later and connect to the same local IPv4 network over Wi-Fi or Ethernet.
Before you connect
Allow the macOS input permissions requested by the app. Arrange your displays in Screens and choose the Mac that supplies your mouse and keyboard.
Stay in control
Clipboard and file sharing start off. Enable each only when you want it. Press Control–Option–Command–Escape on the controlling Mac to return local control.
About the preview
The app is in private development. Physical multi-Mac input, continuous Finder drag, reliability and release security still require validation. No public download, launch date or pricing is announced.
