I want to add to this list MaxiVista http://www.maxivista.com/ . It's also multi-computers AND multi-screens. It is not free. The Pro and the Mirror versions allow you to have the screen of you other computer behave either like an extention of the desktop of the main computer or you can switch it to be like in Synergy controlled by mouse and keyboard of the main computer with copy/paste facilities. Cheers @FKeeL Yes only Input Director and Synergy in this list can be used in a multi-computer environnment.

Its not free, but its an impressive tool... it still feels a bit beta though (or maybe thats just the limitations of the demo?) I have to use it in combination with Synergy for the perfect workflow. For anyone interested in MultiPC/Multi Monitor Audio Solutions: Combine Reaper Reamote, MultiVista, & Synergy and you have the perfect workstation. The baby I have been looking for is MaxiVista.

I have a setup with two computers and two screens, I use them for editing audio. Im looking for some software like synergy that will additionally let me drag&drop itams from one screen/computer to a secondary screen/computer and will also let me use the secondary computer for displaying programmes that are run on the primary computer. Any ideas? Synergy & Input directer seem to be geared towards a multimonitor/molticomputer set up, the other programes are for multi screen setup, with one computer – right?

I'd really like to avoid a server/thin-client setup.
