Omninput by Ontiqo
Windows, Mac and Linux

One keyboard and mouse for every computer on your desk.

Omninput switches your monitor to the computer you want and brings the keyboard and mouse with it. If each computer has its own screen, push the pointer off one and it lands on the next.

The Screens page: an iMac beside a 34-inch monitor that three computers share, on DP 1, HDMI 1 and HDMI 2

Switches the monitor itself

Over DDC/CI, from a shortcut, the tray or the menu bar.

Crosses screen edges

Move the pointer off one computer’s screen and keep typing on the next.

Any mix of systems

Native apps for Windows, Mac and Linux.

Two ways to share a desk

One monitor or many screens.

The Screens page listing a monitor’s inputs: DP 1 is on screen, and HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 each have a Switch button

One monitor, several computers

Plug each computer into its own input on the monitor. Choose a computer and the monitor switches to it; the keyboard and mouse follow.

  • Omninput works out which computer is on which input.
  • If it isn’t sure, press Space to keep the new computer. Otherwise the monitor switches back after a few seconds.
  • The monitor needs DDC/CI turned on in its own menu.
The Screens settings on a Mac: a 34-inch monitor and an iMac side by side, with the pages listed down the left

Several screens, side by side

Arrange the screens once on the Screens page. Move the pointer off an edge and it appears on the next computer, with the keyboard.

  • The pointer crosses only where two screens touch.
  • Scroll Lock keeps it on this computer; Ctrl+Alt+F shows where it is.
  • Arrange it on one computer and the others get the same layout.

Both at once: a shared monitor is one screen in your layout, and the pointer goes to whichever computer it is showing.

Features

More than the keyboard and mouse.

Copy here, paste there

Text with its formatting, images, and whole files and folders.

One set of speakers

Hear every computer through the speakers plugged into one of them.

Folders in sync

Keep the folders you choose the same on each computer.

SSH, set up for you

Omninput exchanges SSH keys, so ssh name works between your computers.

Sign-in screens

Type any computer’s password at its sign-in screen from the keyboard in front of you, on Windows, Mac or Linux.

The Sharing page on Windows with switches for sharing this keyboard and mouse, accepting mouse and keyboard from other computers, sharing the clipboard, muting when not on screen, and playing sound from the computer on screen

Share only what you want

Each computer has its own switches for the clipboard and sound, and on Windows for the keyboard and mouse.

Shown on Windows 11 and on a Mac.
