Input Leap

Input Leap is a software KVM switch and multi-machine input controller that allows a single keyboard and mouse to control several physical workstations over a local network. It functions as a network input emulator, sending keyboard and mouse signals to remote operating systems to manage a multi-machine workspace as if it were a single system with multiple monitors.

The project also serves as a cross-platform clipboard synchronizer, enabling the sharing of copied text and data between different operating systems so that content can be pasted across all connected machines.

    feschber/lan-mouse

    5,465View on GitHub↗

    lan-mouse is a software KVM switch and networked peripheral controller that allows a user to share a single keyboard and mouse across multiple computers over a local area network. It functions as a cross-platform input sharer, capturing local peripheral events and relaying them to remote hosts for simulation at the operating system level. The system secures remote input control using a TLS-encrypted transport layer to prevent the interception of keystrokes and pointer data. Access is managed through fingerprint-based device authorization, which validates remote connections by matching unique

    Piknik is an encrypted clipboard relay and multiplexer that coordinates the sharing of text, binary data, and shell content across multiple network hosts. It utilizes a centralized relay architecture to manage secure client connections, providing an end-to-end encrypted system for synchronizing session state and data streams. The project distinguishes itself through the use of multi-stage key derivation and API key access control to secure remote shell access. It employs end-to-end encryption and digital signatures to protect relayed content, ensuring that data is encrypted at the source befo

    Barrier is a network-based software utility that functions as a keyboard and mouse switch, allowing a single set of input peripherals to control multiple computers. By capturing raw hardware signals at the system level, it redirects input events across a local network to create a unified workspace across distinct physical displays and operating systems. The project operates as a client-server system that maintains persistent network connections to route input data. It distinguishes itself by normalizing disparate hardware signals into a unified internal format, enabling consistent interaction

    Apollo is a remote desktop streaming server designed to transmit a low-latency video feed of a host screen to remote clients using hardware-accelerated encoding. It functions as a remote input controller and virtual display manager, allowing the host to match the resolution and framerate of connected devices. The system includes a gamepad input emulator that simulates controller hardware on the host machine to translate remote inputs into local events. Server configurations and client pairing are managed through a web-based remote access interface. The project also covers bidirectional clipb
