I tried Synergy because my normal KVM software (Multiplicity) is Windows only, and I needed something to bridge across Linux (Mint) to Windows 10. Synergy works very well as far as it goes, but some features are not fully available (like copying files via the clipboard, which I really need). There are more features planned for a future upgrade. Synergy Roadmap. They actually have a 30-day refund, which is very gracious. Since I abandoned Linux Mint, I no longer need Synergy, and I exercised this offer. The refund was immediate. Excellent service.
I'm a solid fan of this product. Also a solid fan of how this company is up front about issues that have come up during the Synergy 2 release. They owned it, and took it back to the first release to do it right. A tough position to be in, but they were honest about it. I have had to use their support a few times, and both times Sarah was great. I work for a tech company and often help out on the Support Desk, so I appreciate the quick response. So glad Nick kept Sarah on the team during the restructure.
My main concern is that the "restructuring" involved letting all the team members go (save for her). Naturally I am not privy to the internals of the company, so I am optimistic in this decision, however it still leaves me uneasy.

I heartily recommend this product for anyone who needs to manage many apps simultaneously over a variety of OSes I use Synergy 1 Pro on Mac, Windows 7, 10 and Linux. It works seamlessly with all three OSes, including cut/copy and paste between devices. I particularly like the ability to use a custom port and encryption. The only down side is I occasionally need to hunt for my cursor over a span of about three square meters of monitor territory.
This is really helpful. Would you mind adding this as a recommendation (you can do it from the question page)? If you add your experiences it’ll show on the front page, which is where this belongs.
Thanks to everyone on Slant who reviewed Synergy. Please us know if you need help with anything. https://symless.com/contact
Do you really enjoy congratulating yourself? :)
Our thank feature mentions users who contributed to the option which sometimes includes the user leaving the comment.
I’m more than happy to respond to any comments, so please let me know if you have any questions.
Hello, thank you for the opportunity to ask about smartphones running the Android OS.
I've ordered a Samsung Galaxy S8+ and expect to add their DeX docking station. I REALLY would like to be able to add the S8+/DeX to my office network - now including one MacBook and one Windows desktop. It appears the Android option is really just for competent programmers, may have been tested on only a few devices, and may be stuck in development never-land.
Are there plans to support Android devices?
Thank you,
Steve
We do have ambitions to release an Android app, but we don’t have any immediate plans. Please let us know if you have any more questions. https://symless.com/contact
Thanks so much for letting us know! I’m so glad you found Synergy easy to use.
Not all features work -- support isn't willing to help the Basic or Pro accounts, unless you pay $$$ for their Enterprise. Find something else.
Sorry you got that impression, this wasn’t our intention. The Synergy Support Team provides direct support for our regular (non-enterprise) customers. However, we do also provide priority support for businesses as an optional extra. Hope this helps to clear things up! If you need help, please contact us. https://symless.com/contact
Synergy 2 works in any direction, there’s no client/server. It’s also fully automated, so it switches seamlessly depending on switch keyboard and mouse you use. Please let us know if there’s anything we can do to help you. https://symless.com/contact
I run 3+ OS’s at my desk as I work (Windows 10, MacOS, and 2 Linux (Ubuntu, and Arch). Synergy let’s me seamlessly move my mouse and keyboard across all my monitors, from one to another. Occasionally I had some jitter on Arch. And when I reached out to Symless support they had my back. Turns out I had an older install from the Arch repository that was problematic. A couple of emails later and I’m back up and running smooth as silk between all of my desktops. This team knows their software! And the OS’s it runs on!
I highly recommend Synergy for your kvm over ip.
