Synergy Binaries

About

Synergy is a keyboard and mouse sharing tool for devices connected over a network. Up until version 1.8.8, binaries were freely available to download from the official project website. Since then, Synergy maintainers have decided to publish binaries behind a pay wall. However, Synergy is an open source project, and therefore anyone can build the application on their system.

This repository provides some convenience tools and documentation for building Synergy. Alternatively, one can also download the pre-compiled binaries, see below.

Download

The following binaries available in the Releases section:

• Linux AppImage, deb packages
• Windows MSI installer, or standalone ZIP package
• macOS dmg packages

If you can't locate a binary package for your particular distribution, try building the project yourself.
