Oink 0.3.1 adds a shortcut to lock a remote Windows computer, a choice of how mouse wheel scrolling is forwarded and a foreground option for games and other apps that read physical input, and fixes Win+L, Caps Lock, pointer, gesture, audio and connection issues.

New

  • Lock a remote Windows computer: on Windows, press Win+Shift+L to lock the Windows computer the pointer is on. Win+L still locks the computer you are using. Turn it on or off in Settings → Shortcuts.
  • Forward mouse wheel events by lines (Settings → Input, on by default): the remote computer scrolls the same number of lines as this one. Turn it off to send wheel notches so the remote computer applies its own scroll settings. If scrolling misbehaves in some apps or games, turn it off.
  • Take the foreground when the pointer leaves (Windows, Settings → Input, on by default): stops games and other apps that read physical input from also responding on this computer while you control another one.
  • Hold Command and press the brightness or keyboard backlight keys to adjust the Mac you are controlling.

Fixes

  • Fixed Win+L locking both computers when a Windows computer controls another Windows computer.
  • Fixed Right Shift not reaching other computers from some Windows keyboards.
  • Fixed Caps Lock not switching case on a locked Mac.
  • Fixed a pointer staying visible on both Macs after moving the pointer between them.
  • Fixed native multi-finger gestures on Windows sometimes turning into mapped shortcuts.
  • Fixed mouse wheel scrolling on Windows being split into partial notches, which some games ignored.
  • Fixed a Windows speaker showing as unavailable after the audio driver was reinstalled or updated.
  • Fixed two computers in the same group sometimes never connecting to each other.
  • Nearby devices no longer change order while the list updates.

Compatibility

  • 0.3.1 works with 0.3.0. The remote lock shortcut and the Win+L fix need 0.3.1 on the Windows computers involved. Remote computers still on 0.3.0 keep scrolling by lines even when line forwarding is off.

Downloads

  • Mac: the .dmg file — Apple silicon, macOS 14.2 or later. Developer ID signed and notarized.

Known limitations

  • The Windows MSI is not code-signed in this release. SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC": choose More info → Run anyway. UAC shows an unknown publisher.
  • Receiving files on a Mac requires the Oink File Provider location to be enabled; if prompted, enable it in Settings → Permissions.
  • Windows users on 0.2.1 need to install the 0.2.2 bridge update before the in-app update can install 0.3.1.
