From the Synergy ReadMe:
"Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware."
Synergy is a great tool, but it's missing a GUI that would make it act like a real Mac application. We started SynergyKM to fill that void. SynergyKM is a complete package; it includes a preference pane and menubar item, along with a full copy of Synergy.
- Configuring Synergy client or server in a GUI
- Auto starting Synergy on login
- Handling multiple users and reconnecting after sleeps
- Handling multiple Synergy configurations/Locations (like Mac OS X's Network Locations)
- Automatic detection of locations using Bonjour networking (only works with Mac clients & servers for now)
- Menubar item with the Synergy status & locations for quick access
Version 1.0b7, released Sept 6, 2009:
- Snow Leopard and 64-bit support
- Now using Synergy 1.3.1
- New hi-res icons and graphics
- Installer is now self-contained
Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6
Mac OS X 10.2 - 10.4 users: please use an older version of SynergyKM found on the website
Use the supplied installer.
