QuickSynergy is a graphical interface (GUI) for Mac OS and Linux for easily configuring Synergy. Synergy is an application that allows the user to share the mouse and keyboard between two or more computers. Without the need for any external hardware, Synergy uses the TCP/IP protocol to share the keyboard and mouse, even between machines with different operating systems, such as Mac OS, Linux, and Windows.
The configuration of the host machine (server - the one which have mouse and keyboard attached to) only requires specifying the name of the client, which will be controlled when the mouse will leave the host screen, in the box at one of the four direction (left, right, above or below). The client configuration requires only specifying the name of the host.
More specific configuration is possible when using Synergy command-line programs (synergys and synergyc) without use of graphical interface.

Famous quotes containing the word quick:
“Bunched upside down, they sleep in air.
Their sharp ears, their sharp teeth, their quick sharp faces
Are dull and slow and mild.
All the bright day, as the mother sleeps,
She folds her wings about her sleeping child.”
—Randall Jarrell (1914–1965)
