• Cross-platform control. ShareMouse works on Windows and macOS systems, allowing you to manage computers with different operating systems from a single workstation. Synchronization is immediate and requires no complex configuration.
• Clipboard sharing. Copy text or files on one computer and paste them on another without manual transfers. The clipboard synchronizes automatically between connected devices.
• Drag and drop between computers. Allows you to move files between computers by dragging them from one screen to another. The transfer is done directly over the local network.
• Screen lock mode. Locks all connected computers simultaneously with a single command. This feature is useful for maintaining security when the user leaves their workstation.
• Multiple monitor support. ShareMouse recognizes the physical arrangement of screens and adjusts cursor movement according to their actual location. Monitors can be arranged in any configuration.
• Connection via IP or local network. Devices connect automatically on the same network, but it is also possible to establish a manual connection using IP addresses.
• Data encryption. All communications between computers are encrypted to prevent interception. The software uses secure protocols to protect transferred information.
• Customizable keyboard shortcuts. Allows you to assign key combinations to activate specific functions, such as switching between computers or locking the session.
• Low resource consumption. ShareMouse operates in the background without affecting system performance. Memory and CPU usage is minimal even with multiple devices connected.
• Support for different resolutions. Automatically adjusts cursor movement when switching between screens with different resolutions. The software compensates for differences for smooth movement.
• Automatic standby mode. Detects inactivity and temporarily disconnects unused computers to reduce power consumption. The connection is restored when moving the mouse.

ShareMouse was developed by Bartels Media GmbH, a German company specializing in productivity tools. The first version of the software was released in 2007. The program is written in C++ and uses cross-platform network libraries to ensure compatibility between Windows and macOS.
