DyskLink for Mac 1.1.0

New features between computers, plus a full security, bug, and performance pass. Update DyskLink for Android to 1.1.0 too.

New

• One mouse and keyboard: move the pointer past a screen edge to control another Mac. Ctrl+Opt+Cmd brings it home.
• Windows and Linux PCs: pair and sync the clipboard, files, and ringing with DyskLink for Windows and Linux.
• Pictures on the clipboard go between computers too.

Faster and smoother

• About 0.1% CPU when idle, down from 6%. The battery reading in the menu only runs while the menu is open.
• Touchpad, sound, and screen stay responsive while a big file is moving.
• Network and file work moved off the main thread, so windows don't stutter during transfers.
• Quicker Launcher, Option+Tab, Dock previews, Mac Care, contacts, and messages.

Safer

• Pairing locks out after repeated wrong codes, and a paired device can't pretend to be a different kind of device.
• Mac Care's Uninstall only offers folders that really belong to the app, and warns when another copy shares its data.
• The charge-limit helper refuses to install into a folder other users can change.

Fixed

• Unpairing a phone ends its screen, sound, terminal, and auto-lock.
• Messages can't be sent twice, and drafts stay with their phone.
• On-time prayer alerts now appear.
• Sleeping during Top Up no longer stops charging.
• Tools data (to-dos, notes, layouts) is backed up by Time Machine again.
• Dimming comes back after wake, and monitors are matched by their identity.

Updating: install over 1.0.x. Everything stays.

Requires macOS 15 or later on Apple Silicon (any M chip).

Install

1. Download DyskLink-mac-arm64.zip, unzip it, and move DyskLink to Applications.
2. The app isn't notarized, so macOS blocks the first launch. Open System Settings > Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway.

This build uses a self-signed certificate, not one from Apple.
