About EtherWaver

What EtherWaver is

EtherWaver is a distributed input and screen navigation system designed for modern multi-device environments.

It enables sharing a keyboard and mouse between computers, navigating between screens and hosts, supporting multi-monitor environments, and building more fluid distributed workspaces.

The concept is familiar to users of tools such as Barrier and Synergy, but EtherWaver is intended to support a broader, more extensible architecture for infrastructure-style deployments and advanced workspace layouts.

Instead of treating the workspace as one isolated machine, EtherWaver treats multiple systems as part of a connected environment where input routing, screen adjacency, and network transport work together.

Shared keyboard and mouse

Operate several devices from a single input pair and reduce friction across daily workstation tasks.

Cross-host navigation

Move naturally between separate computers as if they were part of one continuous visual workspace.

Multi-monitor aware

Support layouts that reflect real multi-screen desks instead of only single-display assumptions.

Distributed workspaces

Prepare for environments where multiple hosts cooperate as one operator-facing system.
