Audience
People working with multiple computers, including developers, IT professionals, and home-office users who switch monitors and transfer text or files between Linux, macOS, and Windows.
About DisplaySwitcher
DisplaySwitcher is a desktop application for Linux, macOS, and Windows that helps people using multiple computers switch a shared monitor’s video input and transfer text and files between computers. It lets users change the input through software rather than a monitor’s physical controls; when one computer cannot switch the input directly, another connected computer running DisplaySwitcher can relay the request. Users can transfer text and files by cut-and-paste, drag-and-drop, or file browsing, including across operating systems, without network or firewall configuration. Monitor switching requires a compatible external monitor that supports DDC/CI, and compatibility can vary by computer, operating system, connection, and monitor.
