teleport VS Hot

Teleport is like Barrier/Synergy, but only works on Mac. The advantage is that it supports a lot of mac-specific features that Barrier doesn't, like trackpad gestures and rich clipboard syncing.

Have you tried this?

teleport (great, free)

Apple calls this "Universal Control" and it works with iPad and some selected Macs. Solutions like this have been available forever on Macs (not iPads) and still are valuable if you use an older Mac. Free ones are eg teleport and barrier. There are many more.

Synergy is cross-platform, but not free and a "company" I despise. teleport is small and easy to use, Share Mouse works, but won't let you log in (IIRC), barrier is a Synergy look-alike, free and quite usable.

Same, Synergy for macOS / Windows / Linux connectivity. I use teleport for macOS to macOS. Teleport supports touchpad gestures perfectly unlike Synergy.

I’m not sure how well it works but there used to be some software called teleport for Mac that would move the mouse/keyboard to the other computer when you moved off the screen. Like a software KVM switch. https://github.com/johndbritton/teleport

If you want it between 2 Macs, just use Teleport. It clearly inspired a lot of the Universal Control features and supports everything like trackpad gestures, cross-device drag & drop, etc.

For those who can’t wait for this feature to be released, I’d recommend the excellent Teleport as a free alternative to Synergy. It’s limited to Mac only, but it’s great at what it does. https://github.com/johndbritton/teleport

iMacs are sensitive and unusable if the room/environment temperature goes up 1-2 degrees. Once an iMac reaches temperatures that exceed its cooling capabilities, it will reduce the Scheduler Limit. This OS protection slows your computer down to a % of its actual performance. It's designed to reduce load down to a level that the computer can cope with, given its temperature situation. A tool called Hot will reveal the current scheduler limit, and you'll be able to verify this is the problem.

Use https://github.com/macmade/Hot to read temps instead. I don’t trust cleanmymac.

The Hot . app is great for showing how hot or cold my laptop is running, and whether it has throttled.

You can use the tool "Hot" (https://github.com/macmade/Hot) to check if we are investigating in the right direction.
