history
Project history and usage
Teleport is an open-source virtual KVM for macOS that shares a keyboard, pointing device, and pasteboard among multiple Macs.
Project history
Julien Robert of Abyssoft originally authored Teleport as closed-source software. After its discontinuation, the original author released the source publicly; community maintainers subsequently kept the core client, server, and pasteboard features working. John Britton is identified by the project as its current maintainer.
Adoption history
Teleport served users with multi-Mac desks who wanted to operate several computers from one keyboard and pointing device. The current README characterizes it as a legacy project maintained on an ad-hoc basis, with priority given to keeping its core features working on current macOS releases.
How it is used
Install Teleport on each Mac, configure one system to control others and the remote systems to accept control, then move input between arranged displays. Clipboard synchronization is a supported core feature; historical file transfer, encryption, and status-display features are described as unsupported and potentially removable.
Why package nerds care
Teleport is a classic package-manager utility: a focused native application that replaces physical KVM switching with local-network software. It also has an unusual lifecycle for a cask, having moved from discontinued closed-source software to a publicly maintained GPL project.
Timeline
- Original era: Julien Robert developed Teleport as closed-source Abyssoft software.
- Post-discontinuation: The original author made the source public.
- Community-maintenance era: Users maintained core functionality on an ad-hoc basis.
- Version 1.2.2: The project reported all key features working on macOS Big Sur.
