Honest one from us: right now only one person on our team is committing to Deskflow upstream. One person is not enough long term. In 2026 we are working to make budget available for a new developer focused on Deskflow and Synergy 1. More in the thread 👇

The full breakdown: symless.com/synergy/blog/w…

In 2025 we paid $5,950 directly to external open source contributors: $3,000 to Dustin Kaiser $1,300 to Chris Rizzitello $750 to laz-001 $500 to Denizhan Dakılır $200 to BMagnu $200 to Vamshi Maskuri Why these people, and what they shipped, in the thread 👇

Source code, first version: github.com/symless/synerg…

Fun fact: Chris originally hard coded Synergy to work with his main computer (audrey2) and his client (remote1), so you had to manually edit and recompile the source code to change the names. Only Linux was supported at this point (Windows and Mac came later on).

🎂 Happy birthday Synergy! Today marks the 25th birthday of Synergy The very first version of Synergy was committed to the code repository on 13 May 2001 by Chris Schoeneman (crs23).

"Don't ghost me bro." Daniel Thompson-Yvetot (Tauri co-founder) at FOSDEM 2025, on why maintainers need to stay in daily contact with their community instead of vanishing between releases. That line stuck with us. Here's what we did about it 👇

Running Synergy 1 across a fleet? We are preparing to re-fork from Deskflow for a new beta, and plan to keep doing it yearly. A year of fixes and platform work lands together. symless.com/synergy/blog/w…

Who’s waiting for Wayland clipboard sharing support in @Synergy_App? #wayland #linux

Small fixes that add up: cursor visibility retry, a delay on desk leave to stop years of flicker, and MouseKeys enabled at screen setup so accessibility settings stop getting stomped. symless.com/synergy/blog/w…

If the alt key has been weird for you on Wayland, good news. We disabled the meta modifier, added Hyper key handling, and now read modifier masks from your real keymap. Lands in an upcoming Synergy 1 release. symless.com/synergy/blog/w…

@chadwhitacre @ThePledge ❤️

@Synergy_App @ThePledge In my heart!

Nostalgia trip remembering the 2-computer, 4-monitor setup I used to run with @Synergy_App: usesthis.com/interviews/cha… Love having them aboard @ThePledge! 💃 👏

@ThePledge Glad to be on board 😆

Welcome aboard to @Synergy_App, everyone's favorite software KVM. 🖥️🖥️🖥️⌨️🖱️ opensourcepledge.com/members/synerg…

@lotharmat Thanks for raising this. It sounds like you’re using the consumer version of Synergy. Did you reach out to our business team about getting a trial for the business version?

@Synergy_App According to our cyber team - I cannot use Synergy as the version of Chromium baked into it has active vulnerabilities.

@CyberSecAJ Would Synergy perhaps help? symless.com/synergy Synergy shares keybaord, mouse, and clipboard over the local network. Doesn't share video though, so you would need a monitor for each computer :)

Yo peeps, KVM’s give me your reviews, i need one now forget about any security risk just give me pros/cons and usability.
