Synchrony works in conjunction with a KM switch to provide an easy method of controlling a cluster of computers. It's primarily intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own monitor(s). However with the aid of a KVM switch a monitor may also be shared. This may be useful for controlling a cluster of headless servers, for example.
Redirecting the mouse and keyboard is as simple as moving the mouse off the edge of your screen. Learn more about how it works.

"Unix" includes Linux, Solaris, Irix and other variants. Synchrony has at the time of writing been tested only on Linux Fedora 5. The original Synergy program has only been extensively tested on Linux and may not work completely or at all on other versions of Unix. Patches are welcome (including patches that package binaries) at the patches page.
