teleport - Preview 1

What is it?
teleport is a simple utility to let you use one single mouse and keyboard to control several of your Macs.

Simply reach the edge of your screen, and your mouse teleports to your other Mac! The pasteboard can even be synchronized between the computers.

How do I use it?
Using the convenient PrefPanel, you configure which hosts you want to control, arrange them graphically like in the Monitors panel, and you're ready! Simply reach an edge of the screen where a slave host is connected, and you take control of the other Mac. The keyboard is acting like if it was connected on the controlled host, and the pasteboard has optionnally been synchronized. On the master computer, a nice notification indicates that it controls another Mac, and shows you the position of your mouse cursor.

To take back control of your main Mac, simply drag the mouse back from where your cursor came, just like when you have several monitors.

How does it work?
teleport uses Rendez-Vous to find available hosts.

For controlling them, it catches the events of the master computer, sends me on the network using UDP, and uses some native CoreGraphics calls on the slave computer.

For pasteboard synching, teleport uses TCP for reliable transfers.

Warning: teleport Public Preview 1 does NOT encrypt data transfers. Therefore, be sure to have a safe network before sending sensitive keystrokes, such as passwords, on a slave computer.
