It works as a software-based KVM switch (without video) and is sponsored by Synergy. This program is still actively maintained, with an intuitive interface that makes it easy to use. Tip: disable TLS in the settings for a smooth start. Download it via: https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow/releases. Look for the “latest” tag and check all assets for the correct version!https://www.vandenboom.icu/en/blog/2023-macos-desktop-extended-over-3-schermen/Sun, 26 Nov 2023 15:16:27 +0000https://www.vandenboom.icu/en/blog/2023-macos-desktop-extended-over-3-schermen/In the setup I use I have the following 3 devices: iMac 27" late 2015 with OpenCore Legacy Patcher Sonoma: 14.1.1 MacBook Pro 15" late 2016 with OpenCore Legacy Patcher Sonoma: 14.1.1 iPad 10.2" 7th Gen with iPadOS version: 17.1.1 They are connected to the same WiFi network.

A tip / recommendation is OpenCore Legacy Patcher. See the official website: https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/releases And the YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Mr.Macintosh With this tool you can still use older / second-hand and now cheaper hardware with the latest software.

In many cases this can solve problems with browsing the internet — for example, making it possible to visit websites that no longer work in the old Apple environment.
