Abut the Crowdfunding Hardward

Our Openterface Mini-KVM crowdfunding campaign is now live on Crowd Supply! Check it out and please consider supporting us by backing our project. Cheers!

🚀 Let's shake things up in KVM technology together!

We're hard at work developing the host applications for this handy gadget. Our team is coding away and tweaking these tools to boost their performance and functionality. We’re all about open hardware and open-source software, and we'll keep sharing updates throughout our campaign.

Check out some early demos demonstrating the basic operation of our host application here.

🛠️ Getting Ready for Release

We're sprucing up our code and getting our repos in shape for everyone to use. We want to make sure everything is neat and user-friendly for you. Plus, we'll open up all repos before the end of our crowdfunding campaign! Just bear with us a little longer!
