At your desk, share a pointer. Away, share a screen.
Choose When away. MultiMac estimates proximity with Bluetooth and brings the remote screen to your laptop during handoff. Return nearby and go back to ordinary pointer control.
02
Take your laptop with you
Unplug and move to another room. Bluetooth checks for a change in proximity.
03
Your other Mac comes with you
Once Away is detected, crossing to that Mac opens its screen on your laptop.
Bluetooth estimates nearby or away, not exact rooms or distance. Both Macs must stay reachable on the same network, awake and authorized for screen sharing.
Less switching. More doing.
Your second Mac is not a second workflow.
Keep your work and personal Macs separate. Bring the way you use them together.
Cross the edge. Keep going.
Arrange Macs like screens on your desk. Move left, right, above or beyond another Mac with the same keyboard and pointer.
Copy once. Use it there.
Text and images move between your Macs. Choose one-way sharing, both ways, or off for each connection.
Your Macs. Your boundaries.
Pair with a six-digit PIN. Block incoming control without giving up control of the other Mac. No shared Apple account required.
Premium
Remote apps. On your desktop.
Need a browser or Finder window from another Mac? Bring that window onto yours. Work with it alongside your local apps, while it keeps running on the other Mac.
Choose from running apps. Open them from your Dock. No need to switch the whole screen.
Premium
Leave the desk. Keep the workspace.
Take your laptop to another room on the same network. Cross to another Mac and its screen appears. Cross back and you are home.
Copy once. Use it there.
Text and images move between your Macs. Choose one-way sharing, both ways, or off for each connection.
Premium
Send the folder. Skip the detour.
Copy files or folders on one Mac and paste them on another. No email to yourself, no cloud folder in the middle. You choose the sharing directions.
Not just MacBooks
Different Macs. One workspace.
MacBook, Mac mini, iMac, Mac Studio or Mac Pro. Mix laptops and desktops on the same local network.
Intel and Apple silicon work together. Your Macs can run different supported macOS versions: macOS 12.3 or later on each Mac.

Inside MultiMac
A place for every Mac. A choice for every connection.
Arrange your workspace visually. Keep control, screen viewing and clipboard directions separate.
Your workspace
Drag each Mac to where it sits on your desk. Move through the matching edge to control it.
Drag to match your desk · drop on another Mac to swap
Select a Mac to explore its settings. To move it without dragging, select it, then select an empty position.
MacBook Pro
Settings
Make the whole setup yours.
Arrange Macs and displays
Place Macs around your active displays. Empty positions do not block pointer handoff.
Premium
A shortcut for every Mac
Assign a hotkey to open a remote desktop. Press it again to return.
Premium
Screen sharing that fits the moment
Choose On, Off, When away, When lid closed, or When away or lid closed.
Premium
Choose quality and responsiveness
Select screen quality and size. Low Latency mode requests up to 120 fps; actual performance depends on the Macs and network.
Clipboard sharing, in either direction
Send and receive text or images independently. Enable file and folder transfers with Premium.
Separate control and viewing permissions
Allow or block each paired Mac. Control access and screen/app viewing have separate permissions.
Keep Awake, when you need it
Help a controlled Mac stay awake. This does not bypass macOS locking or guarantee operation during lid sleep.
Tune the handoff
Sync keyboard layouts, hide the cursor after leaving, or clear input focus when you return.
Updates across your workspace
See each Mac’s version and update eligible connected Macs, including this Mac, from Settings.

Looking for a Universal Control alternative?
MultiMac is a software KVM for Mac: share your keyboard and mouse without a hardware switch. Pair Macs with different Apple accounts, set sharing directions, and optionally bring remote screens or individual apps onto your desktop.
Universal Control supports Macs and iPads using the same Apple account. MultiMac is Mac-to-Mac, on your local network. It is not an iPad app or an internet remote-access service.
Apple’s Universal Control requirementsA little setup. A lot less friction.
Pair once. Find your flow.
01
Install on your Macs.
Download the universal app on each Mac and follow the permission checklist.
02
Find and pair.
Nearby Macs appear automatically. Confirm the six-digit PIN to connect devices you trust.
03
Arrange and go.
Drag your Macs into position. Choose what to share with each one, then move through the matching edge.
Do all Macs need the same Apple account?
No. MultiMac pairs trusted Macs independently of their Apple accounts. The first version works on the same local network.
Does this work over the internet?
Not in this version. Keep your Macs on the same local network. You can move to another room, but the connected Macs must remain reachable and awake.
Why are macOS permissions needed?
Accessibility and Input Monitoring enable pointer and keyboard control. Local Network enables connections. Screen Recording is needed only on a Mac whose screen you choose to view.
What leaves my Mac?
Input, screens and shared content travel directly between paired Macs on your local network through encrypted connections. Licensing, payments and update checks use online services.
What happens after the trial?
Core keyboard, pointer and text/image clipboard sharing remain available. Screen sharing, Shared Apps and file/folder transfers require Lifetime Premium.
