TwinDesk lets two computers on the same network work as one desk: Mac, Windows and Linux. Everything goes directly between them over an encrypted link, with no account or cloud.

Features

  • Second screen: extend or mirror your Mac onto the PC, or show the PC's screen in a window on the Mac.
  • One mouse and keyboard: move the pointer off the screen edge to control the other computer. Trackpad gestures carry over.
  • Clipboard: copy on one computer, paste on the other.
  • Files: drag files across the screen edge, copy and paste them, or share a folder as a network drive.
  • Apps: open the other computer's apps in their own windows.
  • Notifications: see the other computer's notifications.
  • Terminal: ssh twindesk opens a shell on the other computer.
  • Sound: hear one computer on the other.
  • About page: version, update check, and system info.

Limitations

  • Both computers must be on the same local network.
  • The Mac build is Apple silicon only (macOS 13+). Windows and Linux builds are x64 only.
  • Linux doesn't have Extend, the shared folder, or file copy/paste and drag yet.
  • Builds aren't code-signed. On macOS, allow it in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Open Anyway. On Windows, click More info › Run anyway.
