About DisplaySwitcher

What is DisplaySwitcher?

DisplaySwitcher is a desktop application for Linux, macOS, and Windows that switches monitor video inputs and transfers text and files between computers.

What DisplaySwitcher does

DisplaySwitcher enables software-based monitor input switching across Linux, macOS, and Windows systems using the DDC/CI (Display Data Channel / Command Interface) standard. It sends commands through the monitor cable to change video sources, allowing KVM-enabled setups to move keyboard and mouse control between machines. Additionally, it enables transferring text and files between connected computers using copy and paste, drag and drop, or file browsing.
