Barrier is a cross-platform software for sharing your mouse and keyboard between multiple computers on your desk.
Features include clipboard sharing and SSL encryption.
Barrier was forked from Symless's synergy 1.9 codebase.

Barrier aims to maintain that simplicity. Barrier will let you use your keyboard and mouse from machine A to control machine B (or more). That's it.

Dev just shat this out with no documentation, didn't support it and then vanished. 0/10 don't support that kind of behaviour.

Oh no some guy made some software for free but didn't write step-by-step setup guides for us all! What a jerk! /s

Jokes aside, this is a fork of Synergy 1.9. So for anyone who cannot figure out how to set it up, google around to find literally any setup guide for Synergy 1.

Please disregard the Symless employee above.
