Barrier lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware. It’s intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own display.

Barrier also merges the clipboards of all the systems into one, allowing cut-and-paste between systems.
