Features
Every device does its job.
Now they do it together.
Put a Mac and a Windows PC side by side and use them as one. Every feature starts off and isn't even loaded until you turn it on.
A second screen
Turn an old laptop or an Android tablet into an extra display, or see another computer's screen in a window.
Apps in windows
Open the other computer's apps, or your phone's, as ordinary windows on the desk you are sitting at.
Clipboard and files
Copy on one device, paste on another: text, images and files. Drop files across at full speed, or open a shared folder.
Your phone, on the computer
Answer calls and texts, see notifications, browse photos, and use the phone's camera in any video call. Or use it as a remote and gamepad.
ReZume New
Hand off what you were doing between your computers and phone: the document, the tab, the song. Pick it up right where you left it.
Connections
Works anywhere.
Even with no network.
Same Wi-Fi, a USB cable, or no shared network at all: Bluetooth and a direct Wi-Fi link of their own. DuoDesk picks the best one, and moves you to a better one when it can.
DuoDesk Mesh connects every device at once, not just two.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Is DuoDesk really free?
Yes. It's free and open source under the GPL-3.0 license, with no paid tier, no ads and no account. The full source is on GitHub.
Which devices can work together?
Any combination: Mac with Windows, Mac with Mac, PC with PC, Linux with anything, and an Android phone or tablet with any computer. With DuoDesk Mesh, all of them at once.
Do my devices need to be on the same Wi-Fi?
No. The same Wi-Fi is the easiest, but a USB cable works too, and with no shared network at all DuoDesk connects over Bluetooth or makes a direct Wi-Fi link between the devices.
Does anything go through the cloud?
No. Devices talk only to each other over an encrypted link. There is no account, no relay server and no telemetry.
Why does my computer warn me before opening it?
The apps aren't code-signed with a paid certificate yet, so the system asks once. On macOS, open it, click Done, then go to System Settings › Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. On Windows, click More info, then Run anyway. On Android, allow your browser or Files app to install unknown apps. Updates open normally afterwards.
How is DuoDesk related to TwinDesk?
DuoDesk is a redesigned fork of TwinDesk by Inuka Asith, released under the same GPL-3.0 license. It brings a new interface on top of the same open, local-only foundation.
Make every device one desk.
