feschber/lan-mouse ★ 5381 304 APPLICATION

Lan Mouse is a cross-platform software KVM switch that enables sharing a single mouse and keyboard across multiple computers on a local network, inspired by Apple's Universal Control. It is implemented as a Rust daemon with a GTK4/Libadwaita GUI frontend and a CLI interface, supporting Linux (Wayland, X11), macOS, and Windows. Communication between peers uses DTLS/TLS encryption with self-signed certificate fingerprint authentication over UDP/TCP. Input capture and emulation are abstracted via traits with platform-specific backends (libei, layer-shell, X11, CoreGraphics, Windows input APIs), and client discovery relies on mDNS/DNS. The architecture features a central service orchestrator managing capture, emulation, state, and IPC with the frontend over Unix sockets (or TCP on Windows). The codebase demonstrates solid Rust practices, async patterns with Tokio, and clean trait design for platform abstraction. While functionally complete, there are known caveats around compositor support, scancode mappings, and some memory leaks, reflecting ongoing development effort.
