A developer is building Pocketdesk, a tool that lets one keyboard and mouse control multiple laptops running Windows and Arch Linux, with Linux support via the InputCapture portal. It also turns a phone into a remote desktop and syncs files, clipboard and audio across machines. The project is open source under the MIT licence, written in Rust, requires no account, and is in beta while the developer looks for testers.

Why now: Open-source alternatives to commercial KVM-style software like Barrier or Synergy attract attention among Linux users.
