What it does

Everything you copy, on every computer you use.

A clipboard manager on each machine, and a private link between them.

A clipboard with a memory

Text, HTML, RTF, images and files are saved as you copy. Pin what you reuse, favorite what matters, add notes, and sort clips into your own groups.

Careful with secrets

Keys and tokens are recognized. Skip them, redact them on screen, keep them out of sync, and exclude whole apps from capture.

Keyboard and mouse sharing

In development

Slide the pointer off one screen and onto the next computer.

Arrange your screens the way they sit on your desk. Wherever two edges touch, the pointer crosses, and your keyboard follows it.

  • You choose the direction. Each device has separate switches for “I can control it” and “It can control me”.
  • Screens drawn to scale. Displays are laid out in proportion to their physical size, so crossings land where you expect.
  • Take control back instantly. Type on a computer's own keyboard and it is yours again.

This feature is labelled Experimental in the app and is still being built. It uses local network sync between computers you have confirmed.

Read the setup guide
The Arrange Screens dialog in DeskAcross: displays from two computers side by side, with a green line marking the edge where the pointer crosses and a Crossings list showing the connection as Working.

Questions

Good to know before you install.

More answers in the Help Center.

What does DeskAcross actually do?
DeskAcross is a clipboard manager for Windows and macOS that also connects your computers. It keeps a searchable history of what you copy, syncs recent clips and files between your devices, and is adding keyboard and mouse sharing so one set of input devices can drive every computer on your desk.
Is keyboard and mouse sharing ready?
Not fully. Keyboard and mouse sharing and the screen arrangement editor are in development, and the app labels the feature Experimental. Clipboard history, sync and Send to My Devices are available today. See the setup guide for how it works right now.
Where does my clipboard data go?
Clipboard history is stored on your computer. Sync runs between your own devices over the local network, or through a folder you choose in Dropbox, iCloud Drive or OneDrive, and is encrypted with your sync passphrase. More on the Security & Privacy page.
What do I get for free?
Full clipboard history with search, favorites, notes, three custom groups, sensitive data detection and local backups, plus local network sync between two devices for your 10 most recent items up to 5 MB each. Compare plans.
Does it replace Win+V on Windows?
It can. Turn on Take Over Win+V in Shortcuts and DeskAcross opens when you press Win+V. Turn it off to hand the shortcut back to Windows.

Put every computer on the same desk.

Install DeskAcross on two computers and copy something. It takes a few minutes, and the free plan needs no account.
