What is Deskflow?

Deskflow lets you use one computer's keyboard, mouse or trackpad to control nearby computers. It suits a desk with multiple machines, including a mix of Windows, macOS and Linux systems, where switching between separate sets of peripherals is inconvenient. Clipboard sharing helps move copied content between those computers, and TLS encryption is enabled by default.

Deskflow is a software KVM without video: it shares input, not a remote view of another computer's display. Keep that distinction in mind if you need screen sharing rather than keyboard and mouse sharing. The interface offers server and client modes, with the server using its own keyboard and mouse and the client receiving input from another computer.

This entry links to the publisher's Windows x64 MSI for version 1.27.0. Windows 10 version 1809 or later and the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable are required. ARM64 and portable ZIP packages are separate release assets; this link is specifically the x64 installer.

Good to know
