iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

The PC watching the security cameras isn't in frame. The 8 monitors are, plus a ceiling TV on Home Assistant and 2 10-inch USB screens off a Pi 5. Which of your screens is the odd one out? Entries: symless.com/synergy/comp...

Out today. One more from the notes: the log view holds its place when you scroll up, instead of jumping to the bottom with every new line.

Fingerprints changed on upgrade from 1.20, so clients asked to trust the server again. Synergy 1 version 1.22.2 keeps the TLS certificate and the trusted computers. symless.com/synergy/down...

5 of the 9 advisories closed in Synergy 1.21 came from a fork of Synergy, ported upstream by Deskflow. The other 4 are from this year.

Synergy 3's latest release is version 3.8.1-beta.

000

Synergy @synergyapp.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Every button and control in Synergy 3 got a proper accessibility role in version 3.7, so a screen reader names them properly. The window resizes as well. symless.com/synergy/blog...

Synergy @synergyapp.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

The top screen on the center rig runs LightManager Viewer. The two below it are wired to other computers, each with dual screens of its own. 3 rigs, 10 monitors, all on the same pointer. Send yours: symless.com/synergy/comp...

On Wayland, NumLock no longer needs turning back on after every screen switch, and a client display can go to sleep while the cursor is sitting on it.

Synergy @synergyapp.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

3 apps, 3 updates in September: dark mode in Synergy 3, Synergy 1.21 out of beta with Wayland fixes, and a new Dragon alpha nearly every week. symless.com/synergy/blog...

Synergy 3 got a face lift, big Synergy 1 update, and Synergy Dragon progress - Synergy Blog

Synergy 3.7.1 adds dark mode, Synergy 1.21 is out of beta, and Synergy Dragon alpha keeps improving.

Synergy was written in 2001 and released as open source before there was a company attached to it. Still open source today, through Deskflow, the project upstream of it.

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?

Synergy @synergyapp.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

One more from the notes: a client no longer disconnects when the server sends a clipboard larger than the client's own limit, so transfers up to the server's limit go through.

Synergy @synergyapp.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

We ported the recent clipboard and security fixes in to Synergy Dragon. Alpha 0.5.0 shares up to 128 MB by default. Out September 29. symless.com/synergy/down...

A hardware KVM moves the displays too. Synergy moves keyboard, mouse and clipboard over the network and leaves each machine on its own screen.

000

Synergy @synergyapp.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

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?

This week's winning setup: a Mac Mini plus two MacBooks, DisplayLink and USB-C to HDMI adapters driving 120Hz monitors. The reason Synergy got added? To delete a keyboard from the desk. ed1 @14sCSaTaJYF #kvm

Synergy @synergyapp.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

An ADJ Wolfmix MK2 runs the lighting, an Akai MPC One+ the music, an ATEM Mini the capture. Behind them: a Mac Mini M1 and an AM4 build with a 2070 Super, sharing input through Synergy. Setup photos wanted: symless.com/synergy/comp...

Text shared to a Mac no longer arrives with old-style carriage-return line breaks, and copying a list of files on a Mac no longer hangs the clipboard read.

Synergy @synergyapp.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Synergy 3 version 3.8.0-beta is out. A big clipboard crosses in small pieces behind your keyboard and mouse input, so the pointer keeps moving. Default limit 128 MB, up from 4 MB. symless.com/synergy/down...

AWDL can interrupt a Mac's Wi-Fi mid-session, which looks like the app or the router losing it. Synergy 3 (v3.7.2) detects it, tells you, and offers one click to switch it off. symless.com/synergy/down...

Someone is copying images bigger than 100MB between machines and hitting the ceiling. Their ask, word for word: "Copy paste image don't max at 100mb only." What's the biggest thing you've tried to paste from one machine to another?

Synergy 1 (v1.21.3) closes CVE-2026-63409, CVE-2026-65832, CVE-2026-65976 and GHSA-vxgx-6p4m-fv83. Each one is data from another computer that the client mishandled. symless.com/synergy/down...

A MacBook Pro, a Pi 4, a Pi 5, and two vintage ThinkPads (X230 and T460s), all sharing one keyboard and mouse. This week's Synergy setup competition winner. Old hardware, still pulling its weight. 📸 @batesyboy1970 #linux

Two custom builds (X79 and X99) plus a 12th Gen i9 12900KF, driving five monitors and two 75in TVs. This week's winning Synergy setup belongs to a stock trader, where screen real estate and sound both count. #desksetup 📸 @david.butera.187

Downloading and installing updates are separate settings now, so a build can fetch in the background and wait for you to say when.

Synergy @synergyapp.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Alpha 0.3.0 of Synergy Dragon adds computer removal, from any machine on the network rather than the one leaving. Auto-update now spots and downloads new versions properly. symless.com/synergy/down...

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.

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.

If you've got a hybrid meeting setup like this, Synergy 3 Lite covers it.

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 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.

If you've hit the same friction on install, tell us where. That's how the onboarding gets less painful.
