 What is TwinDesk?

You probably own more than one computer. A work laptop and a gaming PC. A MacBook and the Windows
machine you can't give up. A Linux box under the desk. And a phone that's never more than a metre
away. Each one is great on its own. Together they're a mess: two keyboards, files emailed to
yourself, a phone you keep picking up, the same tab opened three times.

TwinDesk turns all of them into one desk.

Push the mouse off the edge of your Mac's screen and it carries on onto the PC, keyboard and all.
Copy on one, paste on the other. Drag a file across the edge and drop it there. Open the PC's apps
in windows on your Mac. Turn a tablet or an old laptop into a second screen. Answer your phone's
calls and texts from the computer, use its camera in your video calls, and drive the computer from
the couch with it. And when you walk from one device to another, ReZume brings the tab, the
video or the document you were on with you.

It's one app on every platform, so a Mac and a PC pair exactly like two Macs, and a phone is a full
peer instead of a notification mirror.





🔀 Any combination
Mac ↔ Windows, Mac ↔ Mac, PC ↔ PC, Linux ↔ anything, Android ↔ any computer. Or all of them at once.




📡 Anywhere
Same Wi-Fi, a USB cable, or no shared network at all: Bluetooth and a direct Wi-Fi link of their own.




🔒 Yours alone
No account, no cloud, no telemetry. Devices talk only to each other, end-to-end encrypted.




⚡ Built for speed
A native Rust input lane over UDP, a parallel file engine, hardware video. How.

🍺 Homebrew on macOS: brew install --cask inukaasith/twindesk/twindesk
Update with brew upgrade --cask twindesk: TwinDesk opens again by itself if it was running, so a Mac you drive only through it gets its mouse back. The tap follows every release.




⚠️ First launch: the apps aren't code-signed how to allow them on macOS, Windows and Android

TwinDesk is free and has no paid Apple Developer ID or Windows code-signing certificate, so
macOS and Windows don't know who made it and ask once before opening it. The source is all here.

🍎 macOS

The easiest way is Homebrew, which installs it ready to open:
brew install --cask i

Latest release

🩹 v2.5.1 - v2.5.3: hot patch on v2.5.0

- Big single files stopped at about 5 minutes (143).  Phone and pc keep awake while transferring
- Linux: mouse sharing on older distros (149
- Files bigger than 4 GiB (143). A single file over 4 GiB didn't start. That limit is gone, on every computer and the phone. Both sides need 2.5.2.
- Faster files with the phone (143). The phone sent and received file bytes as base64 text, a third more data than the file itself. It now uses the direct HTTPS stream the computers use. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Direct work as before.
- New: Files › Encrypt file transf
