Control multiple devices

If you use more than one Mac, you'll love Universal Control. It automatically detects your devices on the network and lets you share them with a single keyboard and mouse for input and control.

Universal Control on

The universal control is currently still in beta status, but it works fine already.

Arrange the screens in the system settings so that the mouse appears directly on the other device when it crosses the screen border and can be used there for control.

For more information, please refer to the Guide to Universal Control.

Especially handy, with the universal control turned on, files can be moved back and forth between the screens of the devices and thus also transferred very easily.
