Across the desk

Your computers.
One workspace.

One keyboard. One mouse. Your Mac and Linux desktop, working together. Bring an app window to the screen where you need it.

Arrange displays

Place each machine where it sits on your desk. Apply the layout. The pointer crosses where displays of different machines touch.

Cross the edge. Move the pointer across that shared edge. With input permission enabled, your keyboard and mouse control the next machine.

Bring a window. Choose a peer’s window and Bring here. Use the app on this screen while it keeps running on its source machine.

Keep your flow

Let the work cross over.

Keep each computer’s apps and environment. Choose where you work with them.

Cross the edge

Move your pointer across a touching display edge. Your keyboard and mouse follow to the next machine.

Bring a window

Project a single application window onto another computer. The app keeps running on its original machine.

Make the desk yours

Arrange displays in Settings to match your desk. Choose modifier remaps and optional text or image clipboard sharing.

You choose the connection

Paired directly.
Permission by permission.

Compare a pairing code on both machines. Then choose what each peer can control, share, browse or present.

Explore the setup guide

Your machines, connected

Peer-to-peer over your LAN, direct Ethernet or Thunderbolt networking, with authenticated connections using TLS 1.3.

Sharing is your choice

Clipboard sharing starts off in both directions. Enable only the permissions you want each paired machine to have.

Take control back

Release input from the tray or menu bar. Use the panic command to end every session and disarm edge crossing.

Start with two machines

A Mac. A Hyprland desktop. Your desk.

Crosspane is in early development. The running guide covers source builds, signing, permissions and platform-specific limits.

Current platform scope

macOS + Linux

Apple Silicon with macOS 26+ is the Mac target. Hyprland is the current Linux backend.

Windows has an early preview; GNOME and KDE are planned. Mac window projection mirrors the source by default.

Get connected

Build. Pair. Arrange.

Install on both machines, compare the pairing code, then place your displays in Settings and enable input control.

Use the window picker to bring an app over. The source machine must grant permission to browse its windows.
