Works really well, personally only tested on Linux, but I love it!
Does it work with Wayland? That was my only complaint with Barrier last time I tried to use it.
Wayland support: Experimental support in Deskflow v1.16 (required >= GNOME 46 or KDE Plasma 6.1).
Thanks for this, I was wondering why I couldn’t get barrier to work properly
the only remaining question is, how is security?
It’s the clipboard, you shouldn’t put secure items on the clipboard generally speaking. (We all do it anyway)
No, password managers are best practice.

I’ve been using barrier, but will give this a try. Thanks!
I am using barrier for years too, I’ll check this one
Looks like it’s also a variant of Synergy, so I guess it’s just the same. There’s a lot of different forks of it, I’m not sure which one is the ‘best’ these days.
Not a variant. Read their README. It IS Synergy, they’re renaming the open-source / community version to that, while Synergy will remain the commercial product built out of that.
Yeah, again, I saw this, there is multiple fork… I’m still using the latest 2.4.0 from 2021, I’ll see if it’s compatible.
Barrier has been abandoned quite awhile ago. Its successor is supposed to be InputLeap, and although their GitHub repo is very active, they have yet to make a release.
I didn’t even know that Synergy provided a “community” version of their app until very recently. I’ve paid for a license many years ago, so I’ve been using their 1.1x versions, which for better or worse, are still maintained along with the 3.x branch (which I’ve tried using but could never make it work, which is for the best because the fact they pivoted their UI to electron-based also left a bad taste in my mouth).
Edit: also, if I understand correctly, Synergy’s latest versions on the 1.x branch borrows a lot from InputLeap.
