Release notes

Synergy Dragon Alpha

v0.1.0 (August 17, 2026)

Synergy Dragon Alpha 0.1.0

The first alpha of Synergy Dragon, a new Synergy app for Windows, macOS and Linux. This is early software: expect rough edges, and tell us about them from inside the app.

What you get

  • Drag and drop files between computers. Drop a file onto another computer in the layout view to send it there, with progress shown while it transfers.
  • Config profiles. Keep more than one setup and switch between them from the profile chip in the window header, for example one for the office and one for home.
  • Dark mode. Follows your system, or pick light or dark in Settings.
  • Flexible computer layout. Drag computers into position, pan and zoom, and see each computer's displays drawn to scale, so the point where the pointer crosses is where you expect.
  • Resource monitoring. The Monitor tab shows latency, CPU and memory for every computer on the network.
  • Tray icon with latency. Shows the connection at a glance and, if you turn it on, the latency to the main computer. Choose the logo, the number, or both from Settings.
  • Fingerprint pairing. A new computer is only let in when its fingerprint is confirmed on both sides.
  • Synergy 1 compatibility. Allow Synergy 1 clients to connect, or run this computer as a Synergy 1 client.
  • Diagnostics and feedback. The Diagnostics tab shows live logs from every part of the app. Save a diagnostics bundle, or send a bug report or feature request from the speech bubble in the header with the bundle attached.
  • In-app updates. The app tells you when a new build is out and installs it for you.

Installing

  • Windows: MSI installer (Signed)
  • macOS: DMG (Signed and notarized)
  • Linux: DEB, RPM and Arch Linux packages.

Good to know

  • Alpha builds expire 90 days after they were built. Update to a newer build to keep going.
  • Some settings are shown but not yet wired up. They are disabled and marked "Coming soon".
  • On macOS, the app needs Accessibility permission to control other computers. If it has not been granted, the app tells you and opens System Settings for you.
  • You can install the alpha alongside Synergy 1 or Synergy 3 on the same computer, just make sure they're not running.
