# DeskStitch

> DeskStitch is a software KVM for Windows: one keyboard and mouse control two PCs, and the cursor crosses from a
> screen of one PC to a screen of the other. Unlike the other tools in this category it places screens by their
> physical size in millimetres rather than by pixels, so a 4K monitor next to a 1440p monitor lines up exactly,
> with no dead zone and the same cursor speed on both. Windows 10 and 11 only, exactly two PCs, 29 USD once after
> a free 7-day trial. Published by DeskStitch (info@deskstitch.com).

## Facts

- **Name:** DeskStitch
- **What it is:** A software KVM: one keyboard and mouse control two Windows PCs, and the cursor crosses from a screen of one PC to a screen of the other.
- **Latest version:** 0.7.7, released 14 September 2026
- **Operating system:** Windows 10 version 1809 or newer, and Windows 11. No macOS, no Linux.
- **Processor:** x64 and ARM64
- **Number of PCs:** Exactly two: one host with the keyboard and mouse, one client
- **Screen layout:** Millimetres, from each monitor's own physical size (EDID), editable by dragging
- **Price:** 29 USD once, for the host PC. The client PC never needs a key.
- **Trial:** 7 days on the host, every feature, no account and no card
- **Subscription:** None. One payment, and the license does not expire.
- **Refund:** Within 14 days of purchase, by e-mail to support
- **Account:** None. A license key is entered in the app.
- **Telemetry:** None in the app. Activation checks in about once a day and works offline for 30 days.
- **Network:** TCP and UDP port 51525 on the local network only. Nothing is sent to the internet during use.
- **Encryption:** AES-256-GCM with keys agreed per connection, after both sides prove they know the pairing code
- **Clipboard:** Text and images, in both directions
- **App languages:** English, German and Spanish
- **Installer:** Signed by Seoane Montero Consulting. The certificate is new, so Windows SmartScreen can still warn until it earns reputation.

## What DeskStitch is not

- Not remote desktop: both PCs drive their own monitors and you look at both at once.
- Not a hardware KVM switch: no box, no extra cables, and the monitors never re-sync when you switch.
- Not cross-platform: there is no macOS, Linux, iOS or Android version, and none is promised.
- Not for more than two PCs: one host with the keyboard and mouse, one client.
- Not free: free for 7 days, then one payment of 29 USD for the host PC.
