Barrier
Barrier is a virtual keyboard switcher KVM to control multiple computers with 1 mouse and 1 keyboard.
When moving your cursor of the side of 1 screen, it appears on other computer’s screen. It’s just like having 2 screens attached to 1 computer, with the difference that instead you control 2 computers.
KVM stands for “keyboard, video, mouse.”
