Everything you need for seamless control
HelloControlDesk is built for power users who want professional KVM behaviour without expensive hardware.
Seamless KVM
Move your mouse to the screen edge and your cursor instantly jumps to the other computer. No hotkeys needed.
Token authentication
Each license comes with a unique token. Paste it into the app — no account credentials stored on your device.
TLS encrypted connection
Every session is protected by TLS with a self-signed certificate. Your keystrokes and mouse events stay private — even on a shared LAN.
Auto-reconnect
If the server goes to sleep or the network hiccups, the client reconnects automatically. Zero manual intervention.
4-direction support
Place the client screen on any edge — left, right, top, or bottom — to match your physical desk setup.
Low latency
Network input forwarding over your local LAN. Feel-at-home performance with minimal input delay.

Frequently asked questions
What is a software KVM?
A hardware KVM is a box you plug your keyboard, mouse and screens into, with a button to switch machines. A software KVM does the same job without hardware: the computers talk over your local network and the cursor moves to the next screen when it reaches the edge. HelloControlDesk works this way on Mac and Windows.
Does HelloControlDesk work between Mac and Windows?
Yes, in both directions: a Mac can control a PC and a PC can control a Mac. The server and client applications run on macOS and Windows, and the clipboard is shared between the machines.
How many computers can I control with one keyboard and mouse?
Up to 5 machines with a single licence, which is per user rather than per computer. Client screens can be placed on any of the four sides of your main machine, and multi-monitor setups are supported on both sides.
Do the computers need to be on the same network?
Yes. HelloControlDesk works between machines on the same local network, over Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Nothing goes through the internet, which keeps latency low and your input private.
Is the connection secure?
All traffic is encrypted with TLS using a self-signed certificate. Each session is authenticated with your licence token, so no account credentials are stored on the device.
How much does HelloControlDesk cost?
The monthly plan is €14,90 excl. VAT per month and the annual plan €99,90 excl. VAT per year. Both include the full product and every update, and you can cancel at any time. There is no free plan, but an account lets you install and test the connection before paying.
