What is Magic Switch?

A macOS menu-bar utility that hands off Magic Keyboard, Magic Trackpad, and Magic Mouse between two Macs with one click — no KVM, no cables.

This is a security-hardened fork of Blue Switch. The original ships an unauthenticated, unencrypted LAN protocol that lets anyone on the same Wi-Fi take over your Bluetooth peripherals or spoof notifications. This fork replaces that channel with a sealed, mutually-authenticated channel keyed by a 12-character pairing code you share between your two Macs — with a massively improved UI/UX over the original: a guided pairing flow, inline status feedback, per-peripheral switching, a needs-attention menu-bar icon, and safe preflight-and-rollback handoffs.
