Open Source Pledge
We joined the Open Source Pledge in 2025, though we have been contributing to open source for almost two decades.
Synergy funds open source developers and foundations, and our engineers contribute to the projects we depend on.
See our 2025 pledge post for more info.
Deskflow is the upstream open-source project where new code is developed.
Synergy is the official downstream commercial distribution built on Deskflow.
Synergy is an official Supporting Member of KDE e.V., the community behind the Plasma desktop for Linux.
We collaborate with KDE and freedesktop.org (XDG) developers to keep Synergy reliable on Linux.
Synergy is a GNOME Copper Corporate Sponsor, providing financial support to the GNOME Foundation.
We work with GNOME and freedesktop.org (XDG) developers to ensure full Linux compatibility with Synergy.
OpenSSL is used by Synergy and keeps your keystrokes secure over the network.
It allows us to implement secure network communication with TLS.
Synergy is built on Qt which is not just a GUI library, but a powerful cross-platform framework.
Qt allows us to significantly reduce the amount of platform-specific code we need to write.
