Barrier: A Free, Open-Source and Cross-Platform Alternative to Synergy
You’ve probably heard of Synergy before. If you didn’t, Synergy is a piece of software that allows you to shares one mouse and one keyboard between multiple computers.
A great piece of software that costs $29 for the basic version and $39 for the pro version.
If you’d love to have the capabilities that Synergy provides but don’t want to fork over $29, you should check out Barrier which is free, open-source and cross-platform.
Synergy started as an open source project. So the guys over at Barrier forked that original Synergy project, updated it and kept its minimalistic design.
