FOSS first is this customer's default, with one exception: "usually id go for something FOSS but with a mac id rather pay for software, thanks". Does the OS decide that for you too, or is it the thing the software has to do?

Weighing a KVM switch against software, this customer asked Gemini, which pointed at Synergy: "I need to swap to mac and back to pc at times. Gemini recommended I try synergy vs buying a kvm switch." Has a model ever sent you to a tool you'd never heard of?

Synergy @synergyapp.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Counterintuitive bit about Synergy Dragon: it doesn't retire anything. Synergy 1 and Synergy 3 both keep shipping updates. Dragon is a third app to try alongside them, sharing the same core engine, so improvements land in all three at once.

Synergy @synergyapp.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Quick clarification on licensing: if you buy a Synergy license with your own money, it's yours, for anything, including work. Freelancer, contractor, one-person business, all fine. Business licenses are for when an organization buys, reimburses, or manages the license.

Synergy @synergyapp.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Nice use case from a customer this week: desktop PC has no camera or mic, laptop does. They join Zoom on both, and drive the whole thing with one keyboard and mouse via Synergy. No USB webcam shuffling, no swapping headsets between machines.

Synergy @synergyapp.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Sime-less. Sim-less. Seam-less. Even the founder isn't sure how Symless was meant to be pronounced. So we've retired the name. The company is now called Synergy, same as the product. Nothing about your license, serial key or renewals changes.

Synergy @synergyapp.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Synergy Dragon is in alpha. New desktop app, same 1.21 core that Synergy 1 and 3 already run on, so input sharing behaves the way you expect. Layout, settings and state sync across every computer once they enroll. Details on what works and what doesn't below.

Synergy @synergyapp.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Honest question from a 10/10 review: did we bury the setup wizard? A customer got both machines paired eventually (with some help from Google's AI), loved the one-time license, and rated us a 10. But they think a first-launch walkthrough would've saved the headache. Fair note. Taking it.

Synergy @synergyapp.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Mini PC on one side of the desk, laptop on the other. A customer just wanted one keyboard and mouse to reach both. That's it. No dock swap, no Bluetooth pairing dance. It's a small workflow win, but it's the one people notice every single day.

100

Synergy @synergyapp.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

The most Synergy thing about Dragon: it will talk to Synergy 1 in both directions. Let a Synergy 1 client join a Dragon network, or run a Dragon computer as a Synergy 1 client. Covers the machines auto discovery can't reach. Synergy 3 bridging isn't planned, its protocol is a much bigger job.

Synergy @synergyapp.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

One keyboard, one mouse, three machines on the desk. That's the whole pitch for a lot of our customers: main peripherals driving a desktop, a laptop, and something else, without a hardware KVM in the middle. No switch button, just move the cursor.

In May we changed the EULA to require a business license for any work use. That was a mistake. The fix, live since June: if you paid with your own money, the license is yours, for anything, including work. Freelancer, contractor, one-person business, all fine. Applies to every license we've ever

Sime-less. Sim-less. Seam-less. In the last decade we've heard all three, sometimes in the same meeting. The founder isn't sure either, and he named it. So we've retired Symless. The company is now just Synergy, same name as the thing we make.

Synergy Dragon is out in alpha. New desktop app, same 1.21 beta core that already moves your mouse between machines in Synergy 1 and 3. Enroll a computer once and the layout, settings, and network state follow it everywhere. Here's what works, what's broken, and what's missing.

Synergy @synergyapp.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

What does a 10/10 setup look like? For one recent customer: "easy setup, works well between my MacBook and Windows PC." That's the whole review. Sometimes boring is the compliment.

Synergy @synergyapp.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

One customer described their desk: a 59" monitor, two environments running side by side, two keyboards, two mice. The usual story. They switched to Synergy specifically to avoid adding a bulky KVM switch to the pile.

100

Synergy @synergyapp.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

A lot of people assume Synergy went closed source at some point. It didn't. Synergy 1 is still open source, and it's the core Synergy 3 is built on. Upstream of both is Deskflow, maintained in the open. That isn't changing with the rename.

100

Synergy @synergyapp.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

One MacBook, one PC, one keyboard, one mouse. That's the whole setup a lot of Synergy users describe. No dock swapping, no reaching for a second trackpad, no hardware KVM sitting on the desk.

A quick correction: in May 2026 we changed our EULA to require a business license for any work use. That was a mistake. In June we fixed it. If you bought your license with your own money, it's yours, for anything, including work. Applies retroactively to every license.

From a software engineer who left us a 10/10: "It simply works. I don't have to constantly troubleshoot stuff. It provides the customer experience I myself try to provide." That one lands. Boring reliability is the feature.

A trader wrote in describing their setup: several computers, several monitors, all driven from one keyboard and mouse. Synergy 3 Plus keeps the input flowing wherever their eyes go. Fewer hands off the desk, more time watching the charts.

Synergy @synergyapp.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

One customer runs Windows and Mac dev side by side on a single 49" ultrawide in PBP, sharing one keyboard and mouse across both. No hardware KVM, no cable swap, just cursor across the seam. That's the workflow Synergy 3 Lite was built for.

Synergy @synergyapp.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

The Open Source Pledge only counts money paid externally. But in 2025 our in-house team also spent about 600 hours (roughly 30% of dev time) on Deskflow and the libraries around it. Rewrote the IPC layer over Qt local sockets, overhauled the Windows daemon.

Synergy @synergyapp.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Buy a Synergy license with your own money? It's yours. Use it for work, side projects, whatever. Business licenses exist for orgs that need procurement, SLAs, central config, and policy controls. That's the distinction, not personal vs professional.

Heads up for IT folks: symless.com will redirect to synergyapp.io later this year. If you allowlist domains for license activation or updates, add synergyapp.io alongside symless.com ahead of the switch. Don't remove symless.com. Nothing installed will break.

Symless. Sime-less? Sim-less? Seam-less? Even the founder isn't sure, and he named it. After many years, the company is finally taking the product's name: Synergy. Same team, same licenses, a name people can actually pronounce.

Heads up for IT teams: later this year symless.com becomes synergyapp.io. If you allowlist domains for license activation or updates, add synergyapp.io alongside symless.com. Don't remove symless.com. We're keeping it running with redirects indefinitely.

PC on one side, Mac on the other, one keyboard between them. The tricky bit: Cmd and Ctrl live in different places. A Synergy 3 Lite user solved it by remapping modifier keys per machine so muscle memory keeps working across both.

A community member found a CVE in our new IPC code. We're fixing it now. This is open source doing what it's supposed to do: extra eyes, problems surfaced in public, community and customers both protected. More on our 2025 upstream work below.

A recent NPS 10: desktop PC for the main work, laptop on the side for Slack and mail, one keyboard and mouse across both. "Not really possible without sharing the same keyboard and mouse." That's the whole pitch, honestly.

In May 2026 we changed the EULA to require a business license for any work use. It was a mistake. In June we fixed it: if you buy a license with your own money, it's yours, for anything, including work. Applies to every license we've ever sold.
