Deskflow for Windows

Control several PCs with one set of peripherals

Deskflow lets a single keyboard and mouse operate multiple computers simultaneously. Compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, it functions like a software KVM, so you can switch which machine receives input without plugging in extra hardware. This setup is ideal for people who routinely use more than one system at a desk and want a smoother, less cluttered workflow.

Notable capabilities

• Free to download and use, making it an economical way to tidy up a multi-machine workspace.
• Works across major desktop platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux) so different OSes can be combined on the same desk.
• Quick, user-friendly installation and an interface designed for fast switching between systems.
• Emulates both keyboard and mouse input, ensuring keystrokes and pointer movement reach the intended computer accurately.

Why users choose it

By consolidating control into one peripheral pair, Deskflow reduces the friction of moving between machines and can boost productivity. It’s particularly useful for developers, system administrators, creators, and anyone who benefits from keeping multiple displays and computers active at once.

Another tool to consider

SHAREit (free) is a commonly suggested alternative for users seeking a similar experience. It also offers straightforward setup and cross-device functionality, suitable for those who want a no-cost option to manage inputs across several systems.
