    What is DisplaySwitcher?

    DisplaySwitcher is a desktop application for Linux, macOS, and Windows that combines monitor input switching with text and file transfers between computers. Switch video inputs with a software button and move text and files using cut-and-paste, drag-and-drop, or file browsing. If one computer cannot switch a monitor directly, another connected computer can perform the action. No network or firewall configuration necessary. $5.95/month with a one-month free trial.

    What it solves
    • Reaching for physical monitor buttons interrupts work when switching computers.
    • Monitor vendors may not provide switching software for every operating system.
    • Moving text and files between different operating systems takes extra effort.
    • Multi-computer workflows require frequent switching and sharing of development files.
    How it works
    • Install DisplaySwitcher on computers running Linux, macOS, or Windows.
    • Click a software button to switch a monitor’s video input using DDC/CI.
    • Ask another connected computer to switch the monitor if direct switching is unavailable.
    • Transfer text and files with cut-and-paste, drag-and-drop, or file browsing.
