ONE KEYBOARD↔NATIVE MOUSE↔SHARED CLIPBOARD↔YOUR TWO MACS
01 / FOLLOW YOUR FOCUS
Less switching.
More being there.
Keep your keyboard plugged into one Mac. Pair your supported Logitech mouse with both. DeskMux connects the little moments in between.

Input is on Mac StudioStatic illustration. Enable JavaScript to try the flow.
This preview only changes the illustration. It never connects to your Macs or accesses your devices.
Your keyboard comes along.
DeskMux forwards keyboard input over an encrypted local connection. Move back, and typing returns with you.
Copy here. Paste there.
Your plain-text clipboard is shared in both directions, so that link, snippet or sentence is already waiting.

02 / SWITCH WITH INTENTION
Only when
you mean it.
Hold a key. Touch the edge. You’re there.
Option + the screen edge is the default. Choose your own modifier, or use the familiar push-and-wait gesture. Corners stay clear for macOS window controls.
⌥ option+screen edge →
A cursor cue confirms the switch. A menu-bar mark keeps connection status a glance away.
03 / A GOOD MATCH FOR YOUR DESK?
Small setup.
Clear expectations.
Give Mux a home on both Macs.
Install the same build in Applications on your desktop Mac and MacBook. Follow the permission guide.
Introduce the two sides.
Use one private pairing code. Choose the Mac connected to your keyboard, then identify your mouse’s channel on each Mac.
Make the edge your own.
Choose the outside edge on each desk. Hold your modifier and move across. Turn on launch at login to settle in.
ROOM TO GROW
A better desk is
a work in progress.
Input sharing is the everyday foundation. Virtual-display streaming remains experimental. Experimental AOC monitor controls are included; MacBook HDMI switching still needs physical validation. We’ll keep improving it in the open.
